NREL Reveals Potential for Capturing Waste Heat via Nanotubes
A finely tuned carbon nanotube thin film has the potential to act as a thermoelectric power generator that captures and uses waste heat, according to researchers at the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The research could help guide the manufacture of thermoelectric devices based on either single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films or composites containing these ...

Funding to help solve solar energy puzzle
The funding will be used to develop a large scale solar air turbine, a thermoelectric generator which is expected to reduce the cost of solar energy by 10 per cent or more, and lastly to conduct Australia’s first investigation of its type of the effects of the irregular nature of sunshine – solar intermittency – on electricity grids. CSIRO’s Energy Transformed Flagship ...

Reality check shows nuclear energy is the wrong path
Rising costs and re-evaluated risks make nuclear power a poor choice, even for developing nations that can afford it, says José Goldemberg. There are 440 nuclear reactors operating around the world, providing about 14 per cent of the world's electricity supply. Most were installed 30–40 years ago, when the relative cost of producing nuclear energy made it an attractive option. ...

Running on waste heat
Original story at MIT News It’s estimated that more than half of U.S. energy — from vehicles and heavy equipment, for instance — is wasted as heat. Mostly, this waste heat simply escapes into the air. But that’s beginning to change, thanks to thermoelectric innovators such as MIT’s Gang Chen. Thermoelectric materials convert temperature differences into electric ...
