<description><![CDATA[The Audi A3 TCNG will enter production in 2013.(Credit:Audi)-Audi plans to use wind power as a source of clean energy for its upcoming electric and natural gas vehicles. The combination of clean power and zero- and low-emissions vehicles is a first step by the manufacturer toward making its entire lineup carbon-neutral.To make its carbon-neutral goal a reality, the carmaker is financing the construction of four wind turbines off the North Sea that will generate annually up to 53 GWh of electricity. Wind-generated electricity will be fed to the public power grid, and Audi plans to use a portion of the wind power to charge its electric e-tron vehicles. It will also use wind-generated electricity to produce hydrogen and something Audi calls e-gas. Harnessing the power of wind to produce hydrogen through electrolysis, Audi can power fuel cell vehicles, including the Audi Q5 HFC. But until fuel cell vehicles enter production, the hydrogen will be combined with CO2 to produce e-gas, a synthetic form of methane. Audi will use the e-gas to power a CNG version of the A3. The A3 TCNG's four-cylinder TFSI engine is designed to run on e-gas, natural gas, or conventional gasoline.To make the A3 TCNG even more environmentally friendly, Audi plans to break ground on its own synthetic methane facility in July. Using CO2 from a connected waste-biogas plant, Audi's facility will produce annually 1,000 metric tons of e-gas. This fuel will be added to Germany's natural gas network, which serves 900 CNG stations. Electric vehicles powered by clean energy are the current gold standard for well-to-wheel zero-emission vehicles. And Audi's A3 TCNG is also arguably carbon-neutral because it produces a similar amount of tailpipe C02 emissions that were diverted from the atmosphere to produce methane. In other words, this &quot;closed loop&quot; system introduces no new carbon into the environment.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sure, we touch our computer&amp;'s mouse all day. But are we all prepared to get deeply intimate with itRubbing and swiping are just some of the actions Microsoft and other companies are suggesting we do with new devices such as the Touch Mouse, which is set to debut in June but is getting exposed this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.Hrvoje Benko is one of Microsoft&amp;'s visionaries in gesture-control technology. Call him Mouse 2.0 man, after the 2009 research project where he demonstrated a variety of new kinds of computer mice. The Microsoft researcher has been trying to come up with a new kind of mouse that integrates the features of popular new user interfaces such as touchscreens.The result is the Touch Mouse for Windows 7 computers. By allowing you to do finger gestures on top of the surface of the mouse, the capacitive touch technology can speed up your navigation of your computer, Benko says. The Touch Mouse allows for easy switching between apps. You can rub the side of the mouse or swipe across the surface with a couple of fingers.It resembles Apple&amp;'s Magic Mouse, but Benko says it has different features and gestures. You can do things like switch tasks or move to the desktop view by using a single swipe gesture. That means you can probably use the keyboard less and won&amp;'t have to keep closing windows in order to get to the desktop.It looks pretty well done to me, and Benko says that the company has taken pains to avoid accidental gestures, which are the bane of touch pads on laptops. Check out the video of Benko below.Previous Story: NextGen Conference 2011 takes place January 12 &amp;8211' new batch of tickets releasedPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: CES, CES 2011, Consumer Electronics Show, Touch MouseCompanies: Apple, MicrosoftPeople: Hrjove Benko          Tags: CES, CES 2011, Consumer Electronics Show, Touch MouseCompanies: Apple, MicrosoftPeople: Hrjove BenkoDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
