Concrete manufacture is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions, with the ingredient “clinker” accounting for most of it. Global demand for cement (which hardens into concrete) is expected to ...
Sustainable sources of carbon have to be short-cycle, meaning that the carbon was taken from the atmosphere either indirectly through photosynthetic plants (biomass) or directly using direct air ...
Sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, a much more abundant and cheaper alternative to the standard Lithium-ion, are on the verge of commercialisation, explain Carlos Ruiz, Martina Lyons, Isaac Elizondo ...
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine resulted in the EU and the US quickly imposing sanctions on imports of Russian oil and gas. But sanctions on Russia’s nuclear exports have been far lighter because ...
EU Energy Outlook to 2060: power prices and revenues predicted for wind, solar, gas, hydrogen + more
To give an idea of how the energy market may develop in the future, Energy Brainpool’s “EU Energy Outlook 2060” illustrates commodity prices, power plant expansion and electricity demand, and shows ...
Nuclear energy made up around 10% of global electricity generation in 2020 and created more electricity than all the wind and solar PV generation put together. But the debate over nuclear power is far ...
A separate emission trading system will be introduced for emissions currently not priced across the entire EU. This EU ETS II will include emissions from the building sector as well as from road ...
Battery sales are growing exponentially up classic S-curves that characterise the growth of disruptive new technologies. For thirty years, sales have been doubling every two to three years, enjoying a ...
Green hydrogen is set to transform the steel industry. Hydrogen-based direct reduction (DR) technology is already leaving behind other decarbonisation solutions for primary steelmaking such as carbon ...
CREA’s early estimates show an 8% year-on-year decline in the EU’s CO2 emissions from fossil fuels in 2023 — the second most significant drop after 2020. A decrease in electricity demand contributed 8 ...
To reach net zero by 2050, babies born today must have CO2 footprints ten times smaller over their lifetimes than their parents and grandparents. In rich countries it’ll be fifteen times, while in ...
Producing sustainable e-fuels like ethanol and butanol requires the processing of biofeedstocks. Using microbes to chew their way through them is well known. Justin Rickard at NREL describes research ...
