Generating hydrogen from water in the air
Most renewable energy stories focus on wind and solar, but the oceans are an immense, underused source of power. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) is a technology that captures the natural temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep water to generate electricity. It’s a renewable supply that is predictable and constant — unlike … Continue reading Tapping the Ocean’s Heat: Smarter Designs for Clean Power

Sustainability: Doing it for ourselves
Lithium-ion batteries may dominate today’s clean energy storage, but they come with problems: they rely on scarce lithium and cobalt, and their costs are tied to volatile supply chains. That is why researchers have long looked to sodium — far more abundant and geographically widespread — as a promising alternative. Until now, however, sodium metal … Continue reading Sodium Batteries Take a Leap Towards the Grid
