Mythbusting: The footprint of renewable energy

By 2017, only 43,500 tons of PVP waste was created worldwide. By 2050 this number is expected to rise to 60 million tons. With better eco-design and new technologies, we may soon be able to re-use all of it. Wind and nuclear energy have the lowest carbon footprints among all energy sources. But how to put it in numbers? Well, it depends, all of them have one result in common - a low carbon footprint. Wind, nuclear energy also have the low carbon footprints. The biggest discrepancies, in all of the studies, occurred for biomass and hydro energy. For biomass, we need to consider what type of land is used for its cultivation and how this land is managed. In our research, we can expect the carbon footprint to keep growing biomass to grow over the next few years. We can expect it to grow and use it over time. Back to the air and water level and water levels.

Calorimeters for thermal propagation research on Lithium-ion batteries

Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, fast charge/discharge ability, no memory effect and low self-discharge. The last step is to prevent the propagation of the thermal runaway from one cell to the neighbouring cells.

New tools show a way forward for large-scale storage of renewable energy

Researchers at the University of Cambridge tested their techniques on organic redox flow batteries. They found that by charging the batteries at a lower voltage, they were able to significantly slow the rate of degradation. The technique may be applied to other types of batteries .

Some like it hot – Is Hydrogen the answer to those needing it a little warmer?

Hydrogen is a fuel that burns up to 2800 degrees Celsius (about 700C simply burned in air) It can also be compressed and stored so has potential for transport. We need to be more clear and honest about how we talk about Hydrogen.
