A joint international research team has challenged the traditional “pollution haven” hypothesis—which suggests that companies relocate production to countries with lax environmental regulations—by proposing a new strategy that companies should seek a “green haven” instead.This […]
Two leading experts in the field of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS)—Howard J. Herzog, a senior research engineer in the MIT Energy Initiative, and Niall Mac Dowell, a professor in energy systems engineering at Imperial […]
Over the past decades, energy researchers have developed various promising solutions to limit the emission of greenhouse gases and source fuels or other chemicals more sustainably. These solutions include so-called carbon capture technologies and electrolyzers, […]
The pulp and paper industry consumes large amounts of energy. But despite stricter EU requirements for efficiency improvements, there has been no way to measure and compare energy consumption between different companies in a fair […]
A new Cornell study finds that the legislative support for solar projects in New York state has boosted the price of farmland, with positive and negative effects for various stakeholders.This post was originally published on […]
Over the past five years, private-sector funding for fusion energy has exploded. The total invested is approaching US$10 billion (A$15 billion), from a combination of venture capital, deep-tech investors, energy corporations and sovereign governments.This post […]
The growing demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and portable electronics has highlighted the limitations of current cathode technologies. Conventional materials such as LiCoO₂ and Ni-rich oxides offer good capacity […]
A study finds that replacing natural gas with electric and biomass power, along with improved energy efficiency, could help some pulp and paper mills reach zero net emissions. The paper, “Advancing sustainability in the U.S. […]
Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, winter storms, and tornadoes, have become a major cause of large-scale electric power outages in recent years, causing billions of dollars in losses.This post was originally published on this […]
As electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones increasingly demand rapid charging, concerns over shortened battery lifespan have grown. Addressing this challenge, a team of Korean researchers has developed a novel anode material that maintains high performance […]
