The completed renovation project of the Innovation Center at the DuPont
Experimental Station in Wilmington, Del., in mid-2008, included the installation
of a solar energy system which was funded in part by the State of Delaware’s
Green Energy Program. The photovoltaic (PV) panels of the system, which are
located on the roof of the building, collect solar energy and convert it to
provide 30 kilowatts of power each day. It provides enough electricity to power
all of the lights in the building. The system is expected to have a useful life
of at least 25 years.

In order to retrofit roller shutter casings with thermal and acoustic insulation,
BOSIG GmbH, Germany, has turned to BASF's
Basotect. This lightweight, flame-retardant foam is used in the Rolaflex
system, which simply and cost-effectively provides built-in or walled-in roller
shutter casings with energy-efficient thermal and acoustic insulation.
Using a simple chemical process, scientists at Cornell
and DuPont have invented a method of preparing carbon nanotubes for suspension
in a semiconducting "ink," which can then be printed into such thin,
flexible electronics as transistors and photovoltaic materials.
Scientists at DuPont
and Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., have used a simple chemical process
to convert mixtures of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes into solely
semiconducting carbon nanotubes with electrical characteristics well-suited
for plastic electronics.
