The notion of energy storage is perhaps the most important one connected to the energy transition. Even though it is not a generating technology in and of itself, storage makes it possible for many generation methods to function together. This opens up a wide variety of new doors for the
As a result of the necessity to undertake the energy transition in order to combat climate change, European plans to wean themselves off of dependency on Russian gas and oil and, in the long term, on all hydrocarbons are starting to take shape in the form of national initiatives. Following
Graphene has the potential to greatly help to the development of renewables: in Catania, a workshop organized by the Graphene Flagship in collaboration with IIT and sponsored by EGP looked at possibilities for photovoltaics and energy storage. The meteoric rise of renewable energy sources is partly owing to scientific advancement,
Germany has cut its reliance on Russian crude oil from 35% to 12% and will take efforts in the next days to replace the remaining supply to the Russian-operated Schwedt refinery, according to the economics and climate minister. As Gazprom halted natural gas deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria due to
Transportation is undergoing dramatic upheaval all around the globe. More electric cars are on the road, more people are using ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft, and the surge in telework during the COVID-19 epidemic has changed how people think about commuting. Travel and transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions are increasing
The coldness of outer space is also a vital renewable energy resource. There’s probably no need to point out that none of the power supplied by solar panels last year was generated at night. However new study indicates that this does not have to be the case any longer. A
Scientists may sometimes discard an idea if they cannot conceive of a means to test it. Some argue that science is an industry that should only be concerned with cold, hard truths. Philosophers and poets should be the purveyors of imaginative flights.
The company has announced 37 new renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of 3.5 GW. A collection of 37 new renewable energy projects was announced today by Amazon, which will help the company reach its 2025 goal of using renewable energy to power all operations. As a result, the
The world’s transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy must be accelerated swiftly as the danger posed by increasing global temperatures grows by the day. Temperatures are expected to rise by more than 2 degrees Celsius unless the ambitious climate promises made in the run-up to the United Nations Climate
Some believe that science is a venture that should be concerned only with cold, hard facts, and that this is the case. Flights of imagination should be reserved for philosophers and poets, not the general public. “Imagination is more vital than knowledge,” Albert Einstein remarked astutely, and this is true
