Glowee, bio light and no electricity
Glowee creates biological light without electricity: it means less pollution from nuclear and coal, it means reduced environmental impact with natural substances.
Radiative cooling: a device generates light from the night
The device developed by researchers at Stanford University bypasses the limitations of solar energy. It is based on the principles of radiative cooling.
'Solar petrol' stores energy from the sun for 18 years
One of the most important alternative sources of energy is photovoltaic. Solar energy, growing everywhere (especially in China), is available in abundance and 100% renewable. The problem that has always plagued solar energy researchers is not its availability and renewability, but the possibility of storing it for a long time in a battery. This has until now prevented it from being used for long-term solutions. A research team from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden… Read more
Solar energy in China now costs less than the electricity grid
The political efforts made, including cuts to new coal power plants and the closure of mines, are bearing the expected results: solar energy in China costs less and less.
World food crisis, 8 ways to stem it
We can stem the food crisis by working hard on eight factors that have worsened and strengthened the weaknesses in our system. Here are what they are.
The ITER nuclear fusion reactor is preparing to leave
Getting reactions from nuclear fusion that give more energy than you put into the system can be the final answer to the climate crisis.
Scotland has wind energy to power twice as many as its homes
Until yesterday, there was no overall estimate of how much wind energy was used in Scotland. Now there's the data: and it's surprising.
Soleina, a Finnish startup literally makes food from the air
The company said the manufacturing process makes Soleine 100 times more environmentally friendly than any other protein source.
Global warming: forget 1.5 ° C, we will go further
In 2010, scientists observed that pollution would cause global warming of 1,3°C. Today's data is just a consequence.
The hydrogen train makes its debut in the UK: how is it going elsewhere?
Even in the UK the hydrogen train starts running. How is development going in the rest of the world? Let's take stock with this article.
Costa Rica: 100% plastic and carbon free within 2 years
The goal is the most ambitious of all: to completely eliminate plastic and fossils by 2021. If there is a country that can do it, it is Costa Rica.
5 revolutions that will change energy in the next 5 years
Five years is a long time: enough for the Sun to radiate the energy equivalent to all our reserves of oil, coal and natural gas and enough for the world to revolutionize energy in at least 5 ways. Here are 5 energy revolutions that we will see between now and 2024.
The industry is already able to make plastic from sugar plants
New research published in Energy and Environmental Science, a team from the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center and the University of Madison, Wisconsin has described an efficient and economical process for producing HMF, Hydroxymethylfurfural, a compound derived from plants and considered crucial in the development of a renewable economy.
5×1000 to the WWF: give a gift to the future.
Our planet needs a small overhaul: with an economy increasingly in crisis and an epochal transition from an energy system based on fossil fuels to another (hopefully ever closer) that focuses entirely on renewables, our presence activity is increasingly important to guarantee new generations greater freedom, greater variety of species and less pollution. We can do a lot: an important principle that will be able to keep our ecosystem standing is to... Read more
