E-bikes are one more technology that has been enabled by low-cost lithium ion batteries, like mobile phones, laptops, electric vehicles and large scale energy storage. The extra power from the ...

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 ...

Bigger wind turbines make cheaper energy. The sector’s unexpectedly rapid successes in designing and building bigger and bigger turbines has been one of the major success stories of the clean energy ...

What defines the transport cost? The transport cost of hydrogen is mainly dependent on the size of the project and the transporting distance. The larger a facility the lower the costs until a maximum ...

The goal of the EU’s “Clean Energy for all Europeans package” (CEP), adopted in 2019, is to improve the functioning and design of Europe’s energy markets and systems. Luca Arfini, writing for ESCI, ...
