Taking a leaf out of the book of plants, scientists have used a photosynthesis blueprint to harness the power of sunlight and turn two of the most destructive greenhouse gases into useful, prized chemicals that can be then used for the production of fu… Continue reading Sunlight turns CO2 and methane into valuable gases for fuel and industry
In another instance of AI making itself genuinely useful, researchers at the University of Toronto (UoT) have identified a better catalyst for the production of green hydrogen using AI – saving themselves years in experimentation.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading AI saves researchers years in finding a better green hydrogen catalyst
While hydrogen’s high energy per mass makes it an excellent fuel, it’s awfully hard and expensive to store long-term. That could change, thanks to the work of researchers at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich. They’ve worked out a way to store hydrogen in ordina… Continue reading Hydrogen stored in iron: A cheap, scalable grid battery for the winter
As hydrogen-powered vehicles continue to evolve, their use will become as niche as that of some current land-, sea-, and air-transportation methods, such as a new agreement that will see helicopters powered by the green fuel used for organ transport.Co… Continue reading Hydrogen helicopters to be called into service for organ delivery
Lithium is a finite resource, and the more we lock inside rechargeable batteries, the less we have to use. A new speedy method to free the element from such sources could be a game changer in terms of the material’s availability.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Microwave technique recovers 87% of batteries’ lithium in 15 minutes
In the Belgian North Sea, maintenance vessels are now able to tether to an automatic cable at a wind farm to get their batteries topped up. The innovative system is the first of its kind and a major step in keeping electric vessels as green as possible… Continue reading World-first wind turbine tech puts an 8-megawatt charger on an oil rig
Mingyang Smart Energy, maker of the world’s largest wind turbines, has just unveiled its latest gigantic floating offshore wind turbine creation. The OceanX is a two-headed, deep-water behemoth capable of generating during Cat 5 hurricanes.Continue Rea… Continue reading Giant twin-rotor floating wind turbine can harness a hurricane
Just a year ago, Fervo Energy successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of its horizontally oriented geothermal system. Now the company has landed a massive contract for providing its clean, virtually endless power to the California grid.Continue Rea… Continue reading Geothermal fracking plant scores world-record energy contract in Utah
Hydrogen shows a lot of promise as a powerful, clean fuel source – as long as the process that creates it is also green. A new report shows how tough it might be to get to truly green hydrogen, while a new study removes a barrier to its creation.Contin… Continue reading Green hydrogen breakthrough swaps in water for iridium
Water can hold a huge amount of thermal energy, and a new system to tap into this resource is being trialed in Scotland. A startup called SeaWarm uses heat stored in bodies of water for buildings, pulling four times more heat out than electricity used….
