Who would have thought that sand – yes, sand – can be used as a battery! But that is precisely what some companies have succeeded in doing. How do sand batteries work? Firstly, a battery does not always mean that it stores electricity the way the conventional batteries do – which is in an electrochemical form. Electricity can also be […]
Businesses in the infrastructure and construction businesses should become more aware of the opportunities that CO2 capture and storage will offer. Whether one likes or not, CO2 capture & storage (the entire process termed CO2 Sequestration) is already a reality in some parts of the world, and this will practice will increase in many other parts. While this will result […]
The short answer is: Yes Many people are surprised when they learn that one can make oil out of plastics. But they actually should not be – because plastics were made from oil after all. Most plastics that we use today are made from crude oil or its derivatives as the starting point. While it hence might be possible in […]
In the last few years, there has been a lot of talk about putting up solar panels in space. Now, why would someone want to do such a thing? Mainly because, space-based solar panels can provide constant electricity, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Why? Because there are no nights in space. There is no rain in space. […]
Yara, a European chemicals & fertilizer firm, and Northern Lights, a firm developing CO2 transport & storage infrastructure have signed the world’s first commercial agreement on cross border CO2 transport and storage. What does this rather complex sounding pact mean? It refers to a plan in which Northern Lights would capture CO2 emitted from Yara’s Netherlands fertilizer factory transport it […]
New partnership with Scope3 enhances carbon measurement across digital channels
“Can we burn hydrogen in a gas turbine?” The answer is Yes, say experts in this news report.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel, extracted from under the ground. While natural gas emits CO2 when combusted for heating or power generation, its CO2 emissions are only about 50% that of coal and about 80% that of gasoline or diesel. This is why natural gas is considered to be a transition fuel on the journey to Net Zero – […]
So, some of the largest corporates in the world are collaborating to buy sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). But what is SAF, and why is it important? Aviation accounts for about 2% of all global CO2 emissions. Being a sector where green branding is perhaps a bit more important than for many other sectors, airlines have been trying to significantly reduce […]
Coal is thought to be one of the key villains in our fight against climate change. And for a reason – almost 30% of all the global CO2 emissions come from power generation, and coal-based power plants contribute a dominant share of these emissions. While countries are trying to cut down on coal-based power and increase power from renewable energy […]
