This farm in Tasmania generates hydro electricity which it sells as well as uses.. Water for the system comes from a large dam on the property, which is fed by a creek. The water passes from the dam through a pipeline, which has a fall of about 100m, down to the hydro station. After it has passed through the station the water then flows back into the creek. The whole system can be controlled remotely from almost anywhere and there is minimal maintenance. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/farm-family-is-turning-water-into-money/news-story/60c5625ebc57fd2048468df9406199f8

A Boeing-backed start-up is planning to put a hybrid-electric aircraft into commercial service within five years. Zunum Aero's 12-seat plane will carry battery packs and a small fuel reserve for a back-up engine. They aim to get you to places faster, at less cost, with planes that are quieter and have far lower emissions, as well as connect thousands of communities that don't currently have regular air service. Their first model will fly about 1130 kilometres, far enough to ferry travellers from Boston to Washington or Silicon Valley to Los Angeles. http://zunum.aero/

Royal Dutch Shell is planning to open Britain's first "no-petrol" service station in London next year as part of its drive towards cleaner motoring.

The buildings are expected to be powered by renewable energy from solar panels on the forecourt roof.
