Coal fired power projects to grow in India
Who said coal is dead? While India is ramping up its renewable energy power plants, it is not exactly giving coal power plants a step motherly treatment. Bowing to realities, the draft is suggesting an additional 17-28 GW of coal power plants over the next ten years.

Extreme E announces Scotland venue, a coal mine transforming into a Hydropower plant
The all-electric, off-road rally series Extreme E hosts races in areas threatened by climate change – what a useful concept! Following this motivating trend, it plans to hold it in Glenmuckloch in Scotland, which is a former coal mine site which is planned to be converted to into a Pumped Storage Hydropower plant and wind farm – two success stories […]

Down in biofuels, will algae succeed with concrete?
Biofuels from microalgae has reached a dead end, at least for now. Could concrete from algae have a rosier future? In contrast to traditional Portland cement, the startup Prometheus Materials’ microalgae-based bio-cement emits little CO2, recycles 95% of water used for production, and presents the potential of sequestering the carbon captured during its growth.

Studying photosynthesis at a molecular level to hack it
Photosynthesis processes occur at an incredible speed, make that super incredible. An international team of biologists, chemists and physicists, has succeeded in studying photosynthesis at a molecular level and an ultrafast timescale: a millionth of a millionth of a second. Jeez! Could this open up the potential of crops to yield more for food, fiber or fuels?
