Green Technology

Separating crude oil into products such as gasoline, diesel, and heating oil is an energy-intensive process that accounts for about 6% of the world’s CO2 emissions. Most of that energy goes into the heat needed […]

Perovskite solar cells are shaping up to be one of the most promising elements in the future of solar energy. Lighter, more flexible and potentially cheaper than current silicon-based cells, these photoelectric cells are still […]

Perovskite solar cells are among the most promising candidates for the next generation of photovoltaics: lightweight, flexible, and potentially very low-cost. However, their tendency to degrade under sunlight and heat has so far limited widespread […]

A team of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University (SBU) used artificial intelligence (AI) to help them understand how zinc-ion batteries work—and potentially how to make […]

By 2050, the aim is for Switzerland’s energy system to be decarbonized and no longer reliant on nuclear power. How this can be achieved and the costs of doing so are set out in a […]

Peer-to-peer energy trading—where customers can trade energy with each other rather than only buying it from one single supplier—could cut bills and carbon emissions, according to research from the University of Sheffield.This post was originally […]

The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), under the National Research Council of Science & Technology, has developed a technology that stably generates high photocurrent under natural sunlight to efficiently produce hydrogen.This post was […]

As the world moves toward cleaner energy sources, a major challenge remains: how do we store renewable energy for when we need it most?This post was originally published on this site.

Solar power has long been a beacon of hope in our pursuit of clean energy. However, the road to sustainable, high-efficiency photovoltaics has been riddled with roadblocks such as toxicity and instability in widely used […]

Batteries are becoming more and more powerful. A discovery by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg could now give them a significant energy boost.This post was originally published on this […]
