A new method quickly extracts 90% of hydrogen from aluminum

"The researchers say the composite for their method can be easily made using readily available sources of aluminum, including used foil and cans. While gallium is less abundant and is expensive, the scientists say it is easy to recover and reuse, which should help to make their method scalable for mass use as the world increasingly experiments with new modes of hydrogen transportation."

Wary of Being Left in the Dark, Americans Produce Their Own Power

"After a winter storm knocked out power to most of Texas last February, home solar company Sunrun Inc. said traffic to its website spiked 350%. In California, the company said orders for solar paired with battery storage rose following devastating wildfires and policies by utilities such as PG&E Corp. to shut off electricity in certain areas during high winds to reduce the risk that downed power lines could spark fires."

Bread Alone Unveils $4M Net-Zero Energy Facility, The First Commercial Bakery in the US to Operate on 100% Renewable Energy

"A 366kW on-site solar array will allow the bakery to renewably produce (net) all energy on-site that they consume. This renewable energy will be used to power the fully electrified building: Heuft electric ovens, induction stovetops, air source heat pumps, and engineered air flow. In addition to the Heuft ovens, the Boiceville bakery will bake breads in the original Andre Lefort wood-fired brick ovens, fueled by renewable scrap wood."

Refillable soda bottles used to be the norm. Can they come back?

"While bottle deposit fees and other policy changes could help improve recycling rates, reusable bottles have a second advantage of using far less material, shrinking the environmental footprint of the packaging. Even glass bottles, which use more energy than plastic to produce and transport, can have a lower carbon footprint than single-use plastic bottles when the glass bottles are repeatedly reused."
