Carbon dioxide or CO2 can potentially be used as a feedstock to be converted into carbon-neutral ‘solar fuels’ that store energy from the sun. But for them to be competitive with fossil fuels, the chemical reaction that performs this conversion needs much more efficient catalysts. Researchers have recently come up with a photocatalyst structure […]
In terms of energy policy, President Biden has become a master at doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons. Its policies on the production and imports of solar panels are excellent examples. Everyone agrees that we need to be good caretakers of the planet. This is why it is essential to have correct energy […]
Even with the impressive and continuous advances in solar technologies, the question remains: How can we efficiently collect energy from sunlight coming from varying angles from sunrise to sunset? Solar panels work best when sunlight hits them directly. To capture as much energy as possible, many solar arrays actively rotate towards the […]
In its 150-year history, Paul Knowlton’s farm in Grafton, Mass., has produced vegetables, dairy products and, most recently, hay. The evolution of the farm’s use turned on changing markets and a variable climate. Recently, however, Mr. Knowlton added a new type of cash crop: solar power. For Mr. Knowlton, a fifth-generation farmer and the current […]
Solar energy is the energy given off by the sun’s rays. Plants use sunlight to produce their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Using the sun’s rays, plants turn water and carbon dioxide (what we exhale) into fuel to grow and exhale oxygen in the process. What are the examples of solar cell? List […]
EU energy ministers on Monday agreed to increase the share of European energy consumption coming from renewables such as solar or wind power to 40 percent by 2030. The legally binding target, which was previously set at 32 percent, is part of the EU’s ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent by 2030, […]
