Xerox has determined that the bulk of the energy used to creat a printed document is in the paper ... close to a factor of 20:1 energy to make the paper vs. energy to print on it ... so to resue paper - not recycle but reuse - has the potential to save significant energy. " ... Steve Hoover, vice president with Xerox Research Center Webster, shows off a technology being developed ... that enables people to reuse a piece of paper. The paper contains a photochromic compound that makes ink disappear when hit by direct heat." Via: ZDNet LINK

The United States Department of Energy will invest a three million dollar grant with XeroCoat to develop anti-reflective coating applications for solar photovoltaic assemblies. The development of anti-reflectives for thin-film solar can continue to improve its cost position. This grant was part of the DOE's Photovoltaic Supply Chain and Cross-Cutting technology program which targets investment in innovative solutions, especially disruptive technologies, to solar energy challenges. ...

... "XeroCoat is targeting a coating method for thin film modules that will exceed thin film industry cost targets and further lower the cost of solar energy. Upon successful completion of this development work, XeroCoat’s customers will be able to cost-effectively apply its high performance AR coatings to all solar technologies, increasing energy output and making solar energy more affordable. " ...
