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 ...
Nadia Ameli at UCL and Femke Nijsse and Jean-Francois Mercure at the University of Exeter present their study that shows solar is on track to make up more than half of global electricity generation by ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
We expect drastic changes in the European nitrogen fertiliser industry in the coming years. Natural gas prices will remain elevated in Europe, and ambitious and costly decarbonisation policies are ...
Much hope is being placed on Small Modular Reactors (SMR) making new nuclear plants competitive. But David Schlissel at IEEFA summarises their research into the publications, updates and statements ...
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 ...
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 ...
Al-air batteries are an inexpensive, light and powerful source of energy. The formula is quite simple: aluminium + air = power. A reaction of oxygen and aluminium in the air creates electricity and ...
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are being presented as the next generation of nuclear technology. While traditional plants face cost overruns and safety issues, SMRs are seen by their champions as ...
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 ...
