EERE manages the Energy Saver website that promotes energy-efficient technologies for heating, cooling, and weatherizing buildings and lists tips for saving electricity and fuel. The Office of EERE sponsors several activities aimed at public outreach and engagement in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies.
[pdf] Here's the kicker: 1 kg of phase change material (PCM) can store up to 180 times more heat energy than water alone [2]. Talk about packing a thermal punch! Major players like Midea have already jumped on the PCM bandwagon.
[pdf] Colombia's first grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) came online in 2023 near Medellín – a 20MW/40MWh behemoth that's essentially a giant Tesla Powerwall for the national grid. Here's why it matters: Move over, oil.
[pdf] Starch primarily serves as an energy storage substance in plants, consisting of two major components: 1. Amylose, 2. Amylopectin, 3. Glucose units, 4. Energy reserve. As a polysaccharide, starch is crucial in energy metabolism, enabling plants to store energy derived from photosynthesis.
[pdf] With the Caribbean Development Bank's new $500 million storage fund, Haiti could become the region's first renewable energy exporter. Plans are underway for undersea cables to Puerto Rico and Jamaica by 2028. Imagine Haitian solar farms powering Dominican resorts or Cuban factories!
[pdf] The project, built by the Chinese state-run energy giant PowerChina and financed by Zambia’s national utility ZESCO, is designed to stabilize power for mining operations, the lifeblood of Zambia’s economy.
