Innovative Cellulose-based Films Revolutionise Solar Evaporation and Power Generation
Researchers from the University of New Brunswick and Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China have unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in solar-driven interfacial evaporation. Their work, published in a recent paper, introduces a novel method for integrating zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle-modified MXene into cellulose nanofibre (CNF) films, achieving highly efficient photothermal performance for sustainable solar … Continue reading Innovative Cellulose-based Films Revolutionise Solar Evaporation and Power Generation
Conservation effects are helping to slow biodiversity loss, study confirms
A recent study published in Science sheds light on the effectiveness of conservation efforts in stemming global biodiversity loss. Led by Dr. Penny Langhammer and her team, the study analyzed 655 trials of conservation measures conducted over a decade, providing crucial insights into the impact of conservation interventions. The findings reveal a mix of positive … Continue reading Conservation effects are helping to slow biodiversity loss, study confirms
US finds clean energy storage both too expensive and too cheap
Clean energy has entered a quantum phase. Not in a technological sense, but in the co-existence of the contradictory positions: Cheaper green energy would support uptake, yet meanwhile the US complains that China is overproducing clean electricity technology and thus flooding the market with cheap goods. Perhaps this contradiction comes from the two ways we … Continue reading US finds clean energy storage both too expensive and too cheap
Understanding the Impact of Renewable Energy on Industrial Production and Trade Patterns
A recent paper delves into the complex relationship between renewable energy availability, industrial production, and global trade patterns, focusing on three key energy-intensive commodities: steel, urea, and ethylene. The study, published in a prominent journal, provides valuable insights into the potential for green relocation – the shifting of industrial production to regions with abundant renewable … Continue reading Understanding the Impact of Renewable Energy on Industrial Production and Trade Patterns
Two reports attack developed countries’ efforts towards Paris goal.
Two reports, alike in indignation for developed nations’ insufficient progress towards reducing climate emissions, were released today. Both the reports, from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and Climate Analytics, criticise commitments to reduce carbon emissions. Twice the progress is needed to meet the Paris Agreement goal to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The … Continue reading Two reports attack developed countries’ efforts towards Paris goal.
