Recent Developments In Silicon Anode Technology

|

Batteries are regarded as the core of electric vehicle (EV) technology. Unlike conventional car technology, EVs completely rely on batteries to deliver power (Hannan et al., 2021). In line with this, lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology is leading to a completely new and distinctive energy storage and application paradigm. LIBs have distinguished themselves as an essential […]

Corn is one of the world's most versatile biofuel basics

Biofuel Basics: What You Need To Know

|

The term ‘biofuel‘ is a type of fuel that is derived immediately from living matter (like corn ethanol). Biofuels are useful, sustainable resources that make a good alternative to fossil fuels (like petroleum). Historically, they have been manufactured from food crops, e.g., corn, sugarcane, palm oil, cottonseed, sunflowers, wheat and soybeans. Biofuels are carbon neutral

Nature-based solutions may be the key to solving the climate crisis.

Nature-Based Solutions to Climate Change

|

Very often climate change solutions and mitigation techniques focus on new technologies. For many reasons, technology should not be relied on for the answer. Nature-based solutions can be helpful and should not be forgotten; they might even be preferable for a variety of reasons: practical, ecological and philosophical. We often are caught up in the

With grid sharing, large scale wind and solar can be exported from regions with natural competitive advantage.

Grid Sharing: The Benefits of Energy Market Integration

|

We live on an abundant planet that is more than capable of powering our lives. Renewable energy sources are plentiful and spread out over the globe, and can help us transition from fossil fuels. Today, renewables are the cheapest source of energy and are undercutting fossil fuels significantly. Of all the renewables – solar, wind

Transparent solar panels could soon be integrated into building facades.

Transparent Solar Cells Turn Windows Into Solar Panels!

|

Steady progress in renewable energy is opening up new opportunities for the efficient use of energy sources (B. Parida et al., 2011). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is calling for efficient energy conservation to combat global warming and climate change (Guterres, 2022). Alternative “green” energy is on the rise everywhere across the world.

Electric Vehicle Battery Technologies: The Key to Transition

|

Mitigating and adapting to climate change are key challenges of the 21st century. At the core of these challenges is the question of energy — more precisely, our overall energy consumption and our dependence on fossil fuels. The best course of action to mitigate the impacts of climate change is a transition away from fossil

Sustainable Cities Need Smart Construction Materials

|

Globalisation, urbanisation, and industrialisation are three important drivers of human civilization into the 21st century (J.H. Lee, et al., 2013). According to the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Cities create an estimated 65% of global energy demand and cause 70% of global carbon dioxide emissions. Building and construction is recognised as a major factor

New battery technology is finding a potential use for graphene in EV batteries.

Uses for Graphene in New Battery Tech

|

Graphene, in new battery tech, provides excellent electrical conductivity compared to Lithium-ion batteries. Better conductivity allows it to charge cells extraordinarily fast, and deliver very high currents. This is especially suitable for automobile batteries and instant device-to-device charging. In this article we look at the applications for graphene in new technologies, and its advantages and
