For 2007, again courtesy of MIT Technology Review. Biofuels, solar energy, and more efficient automobiles were the highlights of 2007:

Disappointments all around in the green energy industry--but incremental advances in solar and cellulosic ethanol are starting to make a splash.

MIT Technology Review's summary of all the significant developments in the energy industry in 2010. Not as much emphasis on cellulosic ethanol as there was last year--instead, the focus is more on better battery technology, solar power, and increasing efficiency on the internal combustion engine:

MIT Technology Review's summary of all the significant developments in the energy industry in 2009 - in particular, the alternative energy industry:

Quote:
Cellulosic ethanol--made from biomass such as grass rather than corn grain--moved closer to commercialization, with announcements of demonstration plant openings ("Commercializing Garbage to Ethanol") and scientific breakthroughs that could make the process cheaper ("Cellulosic Ethanol on the Cheap"). But at the same time, a number of companies are moving beyond cellulosic ethanol to the production of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel from biomass--fuels that can be used much more readily in existing infrastructure and in existing vehicles. Exxon-Mobil announced substantial investments in algae-based fuels ("Big Oil Turns to Algae"). Remarkably, one startup declared its process--based on synthetic genomics and algae--could allow biofuels to replace all of transportation fuels without overwhelming farmland ("A Biofuel Process to Replace All Fossil Fuels").
