CLOSING THE LOOP: Company makes clean fuel from non-recyclable plastics
Non-recyclable plastics are ubiquitous waste materials in all parts of the globe. But one company has found good use for these materials by converting these into fuels for airplanes and ships. Moreover, the company’s resulting marine and aviation fuels emit 75 percent less carbon dioxide than their conventional counterparts. British company Clean Planet Energy (CPE) is looking to give non-recyclable […]

“Wearable microgrid” uses energy from the human body to power small gadgets
Engineers at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) have developed a “wearable microgrid” that’s able to utilize energy from the human body to power small electronic devices. In a paper published on March 9 in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers said that they drew inspiration from community microgrids. “We’re applying the concept of […]

Ice can cause wind turbines to produce up to 80 percent less power, according to study
The power that icing can cause wind turbines to lose up to 80 percent of their power generation, according to a new study published in the journal Renewable Energy. Lead researcher Hui Hu, a professor of aerospace engineering at Iowa State University, and his team carried out a field study of a Chinese wind farm after a decade of performing lab studies of […]

German environmental scientist says so-called “climate catastrophe” not taking place
The so-called climate catastrophe projected to peak in 12 years is simply “not taking place,” according to Fritz Vahrenholt, one of the founders of Germany’s modern environmental movement. On the contrary, humans have about three generations’ time to push for cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. In an interview with leading German journalist Roland Tichy, […]

A truly versatile crop: HEMP batteries can be a more powerful alternative to graphene or lithium batteries
Hemp, the non-psychoactive variety of the Cannabis sativa plant, may soon power a smart device near you. Researchers say that not only can hemp be used to power devices, but it may also be a more powerful alternative to lithium and graphene batteries. Hemp-based nanosheet better than graphene In a study published in the journal ACS Nano, Canadian researchers […]

Innovative cooling system can absorb indoor heat and “shoot” it into outer space
As parts of the country experience heat waves and power outages, scientists have been hard at work looking for new, more power-efficient methods to cool buildings. Recently, a group of engineers have designed one such system that absorbs indoor heat and shoots it up to outer space, all without using any electricity. The system uses […]

Researchers are working on turning plastic into fuel that could power homes
With nearly 80 percent of the world’s plastic waste ending up on landfills, all this plastic pollution needs to be reused quickly, or it may clog up the world’s oceans — potentially killing millions of animals, and seep into the air and the soil, threatening the health of groundwater and food crops. Researchers are proposing […]

Energy from an unlikely source: A combination of microbes and graphene could make inexpensive and eco-friendly energy
The quest for renewable energy has led some scientists to think small, that is, on a microscopic scale. A recent study has demonstrated how mixing microbes and a carbon nanomaterial can be used to help create biohybrid materials that can be used in several green energy applications. Led by Pascal Sailaly, a team at the […]
