CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the Department of Energy plans to establish research centers modeled on Bell Laboratories to spark the development of disruptive energy inventions.

Chu delivered the Compton lecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Tuesday, where he told academics and local green-tech business people that the world needs technology breakthroughs in energy to hedge against high fossil fuel prices, to improve national security, and to mitigate the effects of climate change.

During his talk, Chu singled out a number of energy technologies that demand more research, including batteries, solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity, bio-energy, and capturing carbon dioxide and storing it underground.

May 11 (Bloomberg) — The U.K. Department of Energy and Climate Change said advanced energy meters will be fitted in all the country’s 26 million homes and may save as much as 3.6 billion pounds ($5.5 billion) over the next 20 years.

The government’s preferred model for providing the meters by 2020 is for energy suppliers to install and maintain the devices while communication from the units is coordinated nationwide by an outside party, the London-based department said today in a statement.

The U.K. is looking at ways to reduce household energy bills, curb consumption and limit carbon dioxide output as it seeks to slash emissions 34 percent by 2020 from 1990 levels. So-called smart meters provide live readouts of energy use and transmit the information to utilities, providing more accurate billing. They also measure electricity produced domestically, including solar and wind power.

Thanks to a group of high school students, Greencastle-Antrim School District’s environmental center, Tayamentasachta, is going greener. Pending approval at tonight’s school board meeting, the students hope to install a wind turbine at the school farm to generate enough energy to power an aerator in the middle of the pond. The aerator adds oxygen to the water to promote life in the pond.
