What is the future for electric vehicle battery technologies. How do we transition to a fully electric economy?

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

Clean Coal Energy: How Clean Is It Really?

|

In this day and age, climate change is garnering more and more attention. With it is a boom in innovative green technologies. To go carbon neutral is the most recently trending climate resilience strategy. As all sectors of society turn digital, a world without electricity is unimaginable. Yet, our need for energy is continually growing.

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

Agriculture is one of the most effective ways to end poverty by targetting smallholdings and impoverished rural communities.

Ways to End World Poverty: Agriculture

|

Global poverty is a persistent problem. It also plays a major part in the ecological crisis facing our planet. However, there is an abundance of research on ways to end world poverty. The wealthiest countries have never been better off – or more technologically equipped – to solve it. So, what are the urgent steps

Food insecurity in Pakistan is a persistent problem that requires concerted government action to address.

Food Insecurity in Pakistan: Challenges and Opportunities

|

Pakistan suffers from food insecurity because of inadequate agricultural productivity, unstable political arrangements, and corruption. Many of the poor lack purchasing power and access to adequate food supplies. However, the country has also been subject to extreme weather and disasters. Since 2013, drought has become a frequent phenomenon and the 2022 floods are the worst

Remote sensing of the environment is critical to urban planning.

Using Remote Sensing of the Environment For Urban Sustainability

|

Modern cities are dynamic and complex settlements that manage the many different needs of the people that inhabit them (Webb et al., 2018). Accordingly, the methods we use to evaluate the sustainability of cities should reflect this dynamism and complexity. Thankfully, remote sensing of the environment offers an new way of assessing and monitoring cities

What is the future of sustainability in infrastructure. New technologies are helping to electrify more of the power grid.

Sustainability in Infrastructure: Beyond Electric Vehicles

|

With the widespread uptake of electric vehicles (EV’s), what’s next for sustainability in transport infrastructure? We look at the adoption of new, large-scale technologies that are transforming cities and movement. The Electrification of Transport Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have emerged as the replacement for internal combustion engines (ICE). However, reducing emissions on a scale necessary

Microplastics in the sea are accumulating at an alarming rate.

Microplastics In The Sea: Is There A Way Out?

|

Microplastics in the sea have become one of the biggest threats to our planet. Millions of tons of plastic waste continue to make their way to our oceans every year. It takes years for plastic to degrade in the environment. However, when it degrades it breaks down into tiny pieces and remains in the ecosystem indefinitely. Unfortunately,
