LEED Cabins, a green home inside a recycled shipping container Green Launches - 9/11/2010 We’ve seen shipping containers being recycled and overhauled into some pretty practical and usable finished products before. Well, we came across a home packed into a shipping container this time, and it sure as hell took our breath away. For $15,000 to $40,000, you could get yourself a home in a recycled shipping container by a New Hampshire-based company called LEED Cabins. These take around 25 days to build. Besides just using a recycled container and doing its bit for recycling, these homes are a lot greener too, with added on eco-friendly features like solar panels, grey water waste systems, composting waste systems and a lot more.

Geothermal Energy Could Provide All the Energy the World Will Ever Need enewableenergyworld.com 16/9/ 2010 Norway -- There is a solution for the world's insatiable energy needs. It is CO2-free and safe. And it's located right under our feet. Ever since Jules Verne wrote in 1864 about a trip to the Earth's interior, people have dreamed of bringing up heat from the centre of the planet. So far we have only scratched the surface, but researchers are now beginning to work down into the depths. The fact is that 99 percent of the planet has a temperature above 1000°C. The heat is what’s left over from when the Earth was first formed, and there is more than enough of it for us to transform it into energy. “If we can drill and recover just a fraction of the geothermal heat that exists, there will be enough to supply the entire planet with energy – energy that is clean and safe,” says Are Lund, senior researcher at SINTEF Materials and Chemistry.

It's a gas on this pig-powered farm Sunday Times - timeslive.co.za 29/8/ 2010 A new kind of revolution has transformed this animal farm Miss Piggy is not the only porker that can make money from hot air. Limpopo farmer Willie Humphries, 34, is using the waste from his 17000 pigs to create methane gas, which is then converted into electricity. His family farm - Humphries Boerdery outside Bela-Bela - uses at least 30kW of electricity daily from a hi-tech generator, housed in a 6m-long shipping container, that converts the biogas into electricity.

Heat from human bodies and trains at subway stations to power homes in Paris 09/09/2010 - greenlaunches.com Well, if you’ve got a hot body and live in Paris, you might just end up powering your home, literally. Subways in the City of Paris can get really hot, thanks to all that body heat generated below. Now it really isn’t a sauna, but the amount of heat created below is appreciable. The city plans to use all this heat generated by humans and the trains to warm your home! A subway station ideally remains between 14-20 degrees Celsius all year round. The system being developed could help transfer this heat to heat exchangers and through heating pipes that can heat around 17 homes in the area. Read more...

Gulf spill reminds America: The era of 'easy oil' is over mcclatchydc.com – May 7/05/2010 To meet the world's boundless thirst for oil, drillers are searching in the sand and mud of remote western Canada, the tough shale rock of North Dakota and more than a mile under the seas off the southern U.S. coast, where a drilling accident has sent hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude spewing into the Gulf of Mexico. Why are we going nearly to the ends of the earth and the bottom of the seas for oil? The answer, say many experts, is that we're consuming as much oil as we ever have but the era of "easy oil" is in our rear view mirror and receding fast. Read more...

Reactor a major step for algae-to-oil project Business Day 21/05/2010 NELSON Mandela Metropolitan University’s innovative algae-to-energy project has taken a major step forward with the arrival of a custom- made algae biomass liquefaction reactor — the only one of its kind in the world — which is successfully converting algae biomass into a bio- oil, not unlike crude oil, and other useful products. The project, the brainchild of the university’s internationally recognised institute of chemical technology, InnoVenton, uses micro-algae to convert harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into oil, hydrogen gas and a water solution rich in sugars and proteins. Officially launched in February, the cutting edge “green” technology will be rolled out to industry later this year and could ultimately play a major role in providing a new route to sustainable renewable energy generation.

South African dairy goes green with manure power AlertNet – 20/04/201 Thandeka Mabuza's small-scale dairy farm, on the banks of the Olifants River, gives off hardly any of the earthy smell you might expect from a thriving dairy operation. But the lack of manure odour is hardly the only benefit from the farm's pioneering biogas dairy. By using vats to digest cow dung and then harvesting and burning the methane, Mabuza now produces electricity for her house and barns. Read more...

Architectural and aesthetic brilliance combined to make green Dream-Home greenlaunches.com – 29/03/2010 Designed by architect Makoto Tanijiri, from Suppose Design Offices, this architectural wonder, situated in the Hiroshima region of Otake in Japan, is a true example of eco-friendly luxury living places. Situated on a mountain slope in Kaimei Park, this house provides a breathtaking view of the countryside along with Lake Seto which is situated below it. The house uses passive solar heating technology to reduce dependence on conventional HVAC systems which are very harmful to the environment. For using passive solar heating, the east and west facades of the house are designed in such a way as to maximize the utilization of sunlight during the winter and reduce the penetration of sunlight during the summer. Apart from this, extensive glazing is used both inside and outside to further regulate the temperature. Read More...
