Scotland is proving it's well underway when it comes to reaching its goal of having an “almost completely” decarbonized energy system by 2050. Between January and June this year, wind turbines in the highland country generated 9,831,320 megawatt-hours worth of energy. The numbers, which were Read More...
On the outskirts of the city of Shenzhen in China, a mammoth structure is being constructed. But this is not just another giant building in China. Instead, it’s set to be the largest waste-to-energy plant the world has ever seen. With a population of 20 million people, the city produces a lot Read More...
People who follow auto racing or sailing know about aerodynamics and wind turbulence. Race cars leave eddies of disturbed air in their wake, slowing down the cars behind. Sailboats have similar eddies of turbulent air streaming back from their sails, slowing down the boats following. Based Read More...
Despite all the needless waste being produced by America, the sad truth is that emerging Asia is by far the main driver of the world’s growing carbon dioxide emissions right now. So, how do we stop this endless flow of emissions? One way would be to establish the right incentives for countries Read More...
Access to clean energy and drinking water are among the primary challenges faced by remote communities in developing countries. Those two problems could now be solved in one stroke now that scientists in Saudi Arabia have developed a solar panel that not only generates electricity but also uses Read More...
At traditional gas stations, the “smells of gas fumes and car exhaust are the norm.” They are places where you get in and out, with no appreciation for the immediate surroundings. But this doesn’t have to be the case at electric charging stations. In Denmark, a new ultra-fast charging Read More...
