Nature ha pubblicato uno studio tedesco secondo cui nei prossimi 10 anni avremo una temporanea diminuzione delle temperature dovuta al raffreddamento delle correnti atlantiche, evento che avviene naturalmente ogni 60-70 anni. In termini di tempi del pianeta dieci anni non sono che un battito di ciglia, dal 2020 le temperature riprenderanno a salire come previsto [...]

Renewable, synthetic automotive fuels will guarantee future mobility. Synthetic biofuels, also known as BtL fuels (Biomass to Liquids), are largely CO2-neutral and therefore play a major role in protecting our environment and climate. SunDiesel®, one of the range of SunFuel® products, is currently being introduced to the public arena in conjunction with Daimler AG and [...]

«Parlando di energie rinnovabili molto chiacchierate ma poco coltivate, è inutile insistere con l’energia eolica perché di vento ce n’è poco nella Penisola al contrario dei Paesi del Nord o dell’Irlanda. Anche la biomassa rappresenta una nicchia limitata. Invece il sole è l’unica sorgente che abbiamo abbondante e ancora da sfruttare. Noi, con [...]

A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as its on-board fuel for motive power. The problem is that hydrogen is an energy carrier, not an energy source, so the energy the car uses would ultimately need to be provided by a conventional power plant.
“Hydrogen is an energy carrier,” points out Wolfgang Leder of [...]

The burning of fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and contributes to climate change, but these emissions can be reduced by improving your car’s fuel efficiency. You can take the following actions to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions, reduce the nation’s dependence on oil and save money.
1. Buy [...]

Ecocho is a new search engine trying to make a difference for climate change.
For every 1000 searches users make on Ecocho we’ll counter balances or “offset” up to a ton of greenhouse gases. We do this by sponsoring two trees via advertising on the site.
Ecocho is a free service, and it’s one of the easiest [...]
