Nuclear Remains Key to Low Cost Zero Emission Electricity
February 15, 2022 | Leave a Comment
The Carnegie Institution for Science’s work shows nuclear power would be crucial in helping the world reach a key goal of zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century. The research shows the case is especially true in countries with low wind resources. The study results have been published in Nature Energy by Lei […]

A New Catalyst Makes More Efficient Hydrogen Production
January 19, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have developed a new water-splitting process with a material that maximizes the efficiency of producing hydrogen. The researchers expect to make it an affordable and accessible option for industrial partners that want to convert to green hydrogen for renewable energy storage instead of conventional, carbon-emitting hydrogen production from natural […]

Gravity Is Back In Energy Storage In A Very Different Way
January 11, 2022 | Leave a Comment
The puzzle that bedevils renewables in electrification is storage. We usually think of batteries as the obvious solution and that is an excellent answer in small quantities and short periods of time. The problem lies in renewables needing daylight or wind to generate power and when the base energy source sets or dies down the […]

Research Shows How Wood Can be Used Like Sand And Plastic
December 21, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Aalto University scientists have taken a close look at how lignocellulose – or plant biomass such as wood – can be used for optical applications, potentially replacing commonly used materials like sand and plastics. A digital, urbanized world consumes huge amounts of raw materials that could hardly be called environmentally friendly. One promising solution may […]
