They’re cheap enough. They save you money. And they save power… Why wouldn’t you use eco-friendly lightbulbs? This research says the UK is still a bit divvy about it… At a time when household bills are rising steeply almost two thirds of UK’s adult consumers are still
It’s all go over in Abu Dhabi. Not content with building the world’s most sustainable city, the gulf state is loading up on eco-initiatives like it was going out of fashion. Which it clearly isn’t. But that’s not stopping Abu Dhabi, oh no. First up, a
Another day, another climate change fund. Well that’s how it seems today at Greenbang Towers. This time Virgin Money is doing all the green-fund making. The company claims: Unlike typical ‘green’ funds, The Virgin Climate Change Fund can invest in all industry sectors but will only invest in companies
Greenbang is a fan of G24i – a Cardiff-based eco-innovation company. And normally, we wouldn’t run a story on a company getting its own turbine, but these guys are a bit special. They’ve just been granted permission to build their own wind turbine. Once erected, they reckon it will
Greenbang never rated the UK’s chances as an energy producing nation unless scientists worked out a magic formula involving the UK’s few abundant natural resources – pub banter, the Queen and a cracking curry – into renewable fuel. Fortunately, boffins have rated the UK’s chances as slightly more favourable.
Jules Verne is clearly a fool. If you journey to the centre of the earth, you do not in fact find dinosaurs and such like. You’re more likely to find Merrill Lynch these days, after the company agreed to cough for some geothermal financing. Merrill Lynch is now going
Ready? Greenbang is going to talk to you about Nanogram. Thankfully, this doesn’t involve any elderly female relatives in a state of undress appearing to celebrate a birthday or stag do; no, this Nanogram makes “unique nanostructured materials for optical, electronic and energy applications” and has just secured $32
Did you know that air and sunlight can be worth $4.7 million? Of course, it’s not the raw goodies themselves but what you do with them. And Nanoptek has worked out how to do something very, very clever with them – producing hydrogen directly from water using sunlight and
Carbon, carbon, carbon. That’s all that’s being talked about…Anyone would think it’s important. Well Spain certainly thinks so – the Spanish government is giving €25m to the Green Carbon Fund – part of the Multilateral Carbon Credit Fund (MCCF) sponsored by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
Biofuels: a bit like Santa, always giving for free and being nice, or a bit like Satan, doing bad stuff? No, it’s not a Trivial Pursuit question, but a question that’s pondered by all of those wondering where to lay their green tech bet. The House of Commons
If you’re a fan of Andrew Lang, or even if you’re not, you might have heard the quote: He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lampposts — for support rather than for illumination. Greenbang is happy to be the lamppost to your drunk man with some stats from
There’s gold in them Thar Technologies. Or funding at least, with a $1.9 million National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Advanced Technology Program (all names used in this blog post are entirely non-fictional) grant going to the company this week. Thar will use the cash to develop
