As automobiles are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, the technological shift towards vehicle powertrain systems is an attempt lower problems such as emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Patent data most reliable measure business performance for applied research development activities when investigating knowledge domains or technology evolution. This first study on Japa...

Charles Despins This month's President's Page is devoted to the IEEE Green Information and Communications Technology (ICT) initiative. By its very nature, Green ICT is a theme, not only of interest but also offering numerous opportunities, for virtually every IEEE Society and Council. Through this initiative, ComSoc seeks an IEEE-wide outreach to achieve even greater recognition for IEEE's miss...

Environmental pollution is one of the major problems that has become an increasing area concern globally, leading to emergence green energy technology. Research been conducted on technology adoption mainly in developed countries. However, there noticeably limited knowledge about and consumption developing countries, for example, Zimbabwe. Thus, this paper seeks analyze impact sector performance...

Green IT has recently appeared as a mandatory approach to take into account energy efficiency in information technology. This article investigates the Green IT area and its opportunities for innovation. This chapter analyses the main motivations for Green IT, and proposes a definition of Green IT including social, environmental and economic concerns. Beyond simply listing areas of possible inno...

This page within the Green Chemistry Resource Exchange describes an award-winning technology to produce 1,3-propanediol using an engineered Escheri-chia coli strain. The process is now operating at a scale of 100 000 000 pounds, thus supplying this compound as a commodity chemical. Protection Agency's 2010 small business Green Chemistry award for developing innovative technology to make alkanes...
