Increasing the Supply of Renewable Electricity Creates Potential Energy Storage Applications for Synthetic Fuels Aggressive CO2 reduction targets are stimulating the conversion of fossil-fuel-powered electricity systems into renewable low-carbon systems. This energy...
Energy Biomass Competitiveness – Three Different Views on Biomass Price
A systemic approach to evaluation of biomass potential has been missing in the academic debate, and needs to be addressed.
Trash to Treasure
Instead of hauling food waste to landfills, we might want to use that organic waste to produce power while at the same time potentially helping the environment.
Advances in Plasmon Enhanced Up-Conversion Luminescence Phenomena for Energy Applications
Focusing on the photocatalytic hydrogen production from water, as an energy carrier, several factors need to be considered.
Vision of a Sustainable Future
To address climate change, we need to reduce net anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to zero as soon as possible; that is, hopefully by 2050 or so.
More Hydrogen for Less: Engineering the Catalytic Performance of MoS2
Hydrogen won’t be a viable fuel source without a replacement catalyst for platinum. This MoS2 hybrid looks set to provide some realistic competition.
Slicing the Pie: How Big Could Carbon Dioxide Removal Be?
If 2°C warming by 2100 is to be prevented, it will become important to adopt strategies that not only avoid CO2 emissions, but also allow for the direct removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Electrospray-Assisted Fabrication of Moisture-Resistant and Highly Stable Perovskite Solar Cells
Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis describe a novel technique to fabricate perovskite solar cells, which have tremendous potential in the future designs of photovoltaic technology.
One Step Closer to the Commercialization of Fuel Cells
