Space-based solar panels supply energy to earth
A new technology enables affordable and efficient large space-based solar panels, which by beaming microwaves provide most of the world's energy needs. The energy is clean and renewable, the source is infinite.
Electronic Devices Powered by Body Heat
Small wearable electronic devices such as watches or portable MP3 players can be already powered by body heat. Thermoelectric materials might also be implemented in energy-intensive application fields, which are charactarised b...
Super-efficient power lines with almost zero resistance
Future breakthrough in high-temperature superconductors or carbon nanotubes (CNT) enable loss-less transmission of electrical power. Carbon nanotubes exhibit so-called "ballistic conductivity", which is effectively similar to s...
Intelligent electric power demand and distribution control
Research is underway on “Smart” Electric Power systems where there can be much more management of consumer demand and power distribution
Emission reduction in energy supply chains
Research is underway on ways of achieving substantial reduction of emissions in energy supply chains
Clean, green machines: The advent of the carbon-lite economy
Breakthroughs in alternative energy sources may end fossil fuel dependence. Likely candidates to replace fossil fuel include nuclear (fusion and fission), hydrogen, biomass and other renewables and increased energy efficiency.
Revolutionary breakthrough in storage of energy from renewab ...
One of the most significant shortcomings of renewable sources of energy is their vulnerability, instability and low concentration. This in turn leads to utilization of back-up energy sources and makes the whole process of energ...
The oil crisis in the 1970s demonstrated how serious the impact of a sudden black-out of oil supply on advanced economies can be. As a result, e.g. France oriented its energy sector to be sustained by a nuclear energy. If this ...
The research of thermonuclear fusion has advanced to the extent that the thermonuclear fusion is now started to be utilized as a source of energy production, next to the current nuclear power plants, whose energy production is ...
Smal-scale nuclear power to meet private energy demands
Countries, cities, villages and corporations turn to micro scale nuclear reactors in order to meet the energy demands which are otherwise not reached. The world is running out of oil and it all the time faces more and more stri...
Solarpanel satellites microwave electricity to earth
Due to new unexpected discoveries in solarpanel, satellites, and energy transportation, solarpanel satellites are taken into large scale energy production use. Solarpanel satellites start microwaving to earth 30% of earth's ene...
Sunlight to produce hydrogen from water
Due to breakthroughs in solarpanel technology, large areas from Sahara become reserved for hydrogen production. Solarpanels generate electricity which again is used for separating hydrogen from water.
Saudi-Arabia’s oil reserves get suddenly destroyed
New political group takes over Saudi-Arabia and decides to destroy its oil reserves due to religios and political reasons.
Cheap biofuel from algae replaces oil by 2030
By 2030 algae finally fully replaces oil, not only in transportation, but in all production where black oil used to be used such as plastic, rubber, and electricity production. Oil remains in the energy markets, but due to new ...
Suddenly algae production become the globally accepted and h ...
By mid-2010’s scientists in Europe discover new algae species from Mediterranean Sea which can be used very efficiently and very broadly in biofuel production. Soon after that the scientists discover a new scientific principl...
