Improving the properties of sweeteners for enhanced thermal energy storage by Staff Writers Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Sep 25, 2023 As we seek more efficient utilization of waste thermal energy, use of “phase change materials (PCMs)” is a good option. PCMs have a large latent heat capacity and the ability to store-and-release heat as […]
What is the biggest drawback of using hydrogen fuel? What are the disadvantages of the hydrogen combustion engine? Hydrogen has a very low density. This gives rise to two problems when used in an internal combustion engine. Firstly, a very large volume is needed to store enough hydrogen to give a vehicle adequate driving range. […]
Is solar power an alternative energy source? Yes, solar power is a renewable, infinite energy source that creates no harmful greenhouse gas emissions – as long as the sun continues to shine, energy will be released. Why is solar energy the best alternative energy source? Solar energy is clean. It creates no carbon emissions or […]
What are the benefits of solar energy? What are the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy on the environment? Solar energy is a sustainable energy source, has a low environmental impact and promotes energy independence. On the other hand, it is limited by how long the sun is out, can cause scarcity of materials, and […]
Solar panels go into service near North Pole By Viken KANTARCI Kapp Linne, Norway (AFP) Sept 19, 2023 Norway has installed solar panels in its Svalbard archipelago, a region plunged in round-the-clock darkness all winter, in a pilot project that could help remote Arctic communities transition to green energy. Neatly lined up in […]
