GREEN IN GREENWICH WITH PETROL ALTERNATIVE!

With petrol prices averaging over £1 a litre at forecourts across the country, a cheaper and greener way of powering electric cars has been installed in the City. With the mission of making it easier for motorists to 're-fuel' when out on the road, one “Park & Charge” car system has already been installed in the forecourt of Sainsbury’s garage in Greenwich, with a further three installed in the general car park. The innovative car docking points enable drivers of electric cars to park their vehicles and recharge the batteries, alongside other more conventional forms of refueling. Park & Charge Ltd see their systems, which are able to recharge any electric vehicle, as the next step in making this cheaper, greener and cleaner way of motoring more accessible to the public, whilst helping to fight back against the scourge of traffic noise and pollution.

Philips launches Eco-Boost technology for halogene bulbs

We’ve patented a unique technology – known as EcoBoost –which leads to dramatic levels of energy saving for halogen lamps. Depending on the type of lamp in which EcoBoost is used, energy usage decreases between 40% and 60% compared with standard halogen or incandescent lamps.This is obviously beneficial to the environment and also makes sound business sense. Lamps incorporating EcoBoost have a markedly lower cost of ownership throughout a much longer lamp lifespan.
