Ten Times Better Solar Power Catalyst Makes Hydrogen
January 18, 2023 | Leave a Comment
University of Michigan scientists developed a new kind of solar panel achieving 9% efficiency in converting water into hydrogen and oxygen – mimicking a crucial step in natural photosynthesis. Outdoors, it represents a major leap in the technology, nearly 10 times more efficient than solar water-splitting experiments of its kind. But the biggest benefit is […]

Case Made To Store Heat In Underground Water Aquifers
January 11, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) researchers have now found that low-temperature aquifer thermal energy storage is of great potential in Germany. This potential is expected to grow in future due to climate change. Aquifer thermal energy storage systems can largely contribute to climate-friendly heating and cooling of buildings: Heated water is stored in the underground […]

Solar Power Drives Plastic and CO2 Into Fuel Products
January 10, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of Cambridge researchers have developed a solar energy powered system that can transform plastic waste and greenhouse gases into sustainable fuels and other valuable products. The system can convert two waste streams into two chemical products at the same time. Its likely to be the first time this has been achieved in a […]
