Biochar is a carbon-rich substance that does not degrade in the soil even when left there for millennia. It can also be used as a renewable energy resource. Biochar’s high stability and potential use in carbon sequestration inspired the combustion-based sequestration of carbon-based materials. Because of its capacity to trap carbon with little effort, it […]
Imagine a world where water and sunlight produce the fuel that powers our homes and energises our industries. In this world electricity generation would produce no pollution and leave no carbon footprint. The truth is this world may not be as far off as you think. Enter green hydrogen, an emerging technology that could help

We live on a beautiful, vibrant planet that rotates around our bright Sun, with our own satellite, the Moon, rotating around us. The gravitational forces of both the Sun and the Moon, along with Earth’s rotational motion, cause tides. In fact, tides are long-lasting waves that start in the ocean and move towards and away

In recent years, solar energy has proven to be a great alternative to fossil fuels. It combats rising energy costs, electricity bills, and climate change, as well as reducing adverse environmental effects. Interestingly, community solar projects allow individuals without control of their own solar panels to benefit from solar. What Are Community Solar Projects? Community

Our world is interconnected. Globalisation is the term that explains this interconnectedness. Both emerging and developed economies benefit significantly from increased economic performance due largely to globalisation. As these nations become more integrated into the global economy, they often experience increased industrialisation, urbanisation, and economic growth. This, in turn, leads to higher energy consumption and

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.

Recycling human waste into Biogas offers a new source of renewable energy. A wide variety of waste material breaks down into biogas, including animal manure, municipal rubbish or waste, plant material, food waste or sewage. Amazingly, human sewage has the potential to provide electricity for up to 138 million households. That is the equivalent of

Earlier this year, Sri Lanka announced a series of island-wide power cuts. These power cuts last anywhere from 6 to 13 hours, daily. This is because the south-Asian Island is unable to pay for imported fuel to run thermal power plants due to decrease in foreign currency reserves. As a result, the situation has caused an
