Innovative Cellulose-based Films Revolutionise Solar Evaporation and Power Generation

by Boˆreal

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

Understanding the Impact of Renewable Energy on Industrial Production and Trade Patterns

by Boˆreal

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.

by Boˆreal

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.
