Centre for Alternative Technology - Renewable Energy Info Sheets

If you've maximised the energy efficiency of your home, you might now be considering small-scale renewable energy generation. This section gives advice on the options, and how to make sure that you'll get a worthwhile installation. For example, would a wind turbine be suitable for your home? Would solar water heating be compatible with your plumbing? Could you heat your home with wood fuel or a heat pump?

Energy Efficiency

Energy-saving measures are the easiest and cheapest way to cut your carbon emissions. See below for lots of practical advice, including insulating and draught-proofing your home, using efficient heating systems, how to avoid air conditioning, and what to think about if you're planning a conservatory.

sailing propulsion system for all large commercial ships

A Hamburg-based company has developed a sailing propulsion system that can be retrofitted to almost all large commercial ships, enabling them to reharness the enormous energy potential of the wind! With minimal operating costs, the wind-power ed system could make shipping more profitable, safer and more independent of declining oil reserves.
