Oklo’s advanced fission powerhouses can produce reliable power for up to 20 years without the need to refuel and have the capabilities to turn nuclear waste into clean energy.
Time To Clean The Skies, Electric Planes Have Arrived
Emily Pickrell in Forbes writes on the innovation of electric planes. “It can’t come too soon – the airlines say they need to meet their goal of 50% reduced net emissions by 2050, compared with 2005 levels. To achieve this while meeting expected demand growth, electric planes will need to be in the mix.” Read the...
How To Scale Up Carbon Capture And Storage
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is starting to happen. A plethora of CCS projects has emerged in the last year, large and small in scope, in upstream and LNG, as well as energy-intensive industries beyond the oil and gas value chain including the power, steel, cement and fertilizer sectors.
Boeing, Alaska Airlines, & NOAA Team Up To Measure Greenhouse Gases Mid-Flight
The Alaska Airlines airplane will also be testing other new equipment as part of the ecoDemonstrator program. This will include a new agent for extinguishing fires, which could offer a reduced negative impact on the ozone layer and potentially replace the commonly used Halon 1301.
A Better Way to Handle Nuclear Waste
Dealing effectively with nuclear waste, whether through “deep isolation” or recycling, will allow us to have the power, safely and cleanly.
Reducing Emissions with Dual Drive Technologies
The Dual Drive compression systems is powered by both natural gas and electricity, allowing a smooth and instantaneous transition between the two.
Meet Jellyfishbot, the robot that likes to eat sea trash
"The boat, called Jellyfishbot, is about the size of a suitcase and so can get into the corners and narrow spaces where rubbish tends to accumulate but which are difficult for cleaners with nets to reach."
Volvo’s new electric concept car is a ‘manifesto’ for the future
"Volvo is the latest automaker to lay out a grand vision for how it plans on tackling the twin challenges of electrification and autonomy."
The future of EV batteries could be found under the sea
"All the battery metals we need to power a billion electric vehicles could be lying on the floor of the Pacific Ocean — but collecting them and turning them into EV batteries is a major challenge."
Wind Turbine Blade Recycling on the Cusp of Being Possible
The aging of wind turbine blades is an increasingly important issue as many windmills begin to reach the end of their lifespan. According to the University of Strathclyde research, global turbine waste in the United Kingdom will increase five times from 400,000 tonnes per year in 2030 to 2 million tonnes per year by 2050.
