Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a new hydrogen fuel cell which is not only the world’s most durable1 to date, but is also more cost-effective, paving way for a wider application of green energy in the pursuit of a carbon neutral world. Hydrogen fuel […]
An international collaboration led by Kobe University researchers has successfully developed a nanosheet-laminated photocatalytic (*1) membrane that demonstrates both excellent water permeance and photocatalytic activity. The membrane’s photocatalytic properties make it easier to clean as irradiating the membrane with light successfully reduces fouling (*2). They developed this membrane by laminating 2D nanomaterials (nanosheets (*3)) […]
The long-awaited initiative to collect and distribute solar energy in Blount County is in its contract stages. On Tuesday, Maryville City Council approved agreements for three different locations of a solar power plant in the county: one from Sevierville Road near the Northfield subdivision, another from Mint Road near the Old Niles Ferry intersection and […]
What are the 7 main sources of renewable energy? The most well-known sources of renewable energy are now: Solar power. Spiritual power. Hydro Power. Power waves. Thermal power. Energy biomass. What does PV stand for in solar? Photovoltaic (PV) devices and devices convert solar light into electrical energy. What is the difference between solar panels […]
As we see rapidly increasing costs for energy, especially for fossil fuels and electricity, across Europe, alongside the strongest increase of the inflation rate for decades, we are reminded that renewable energy is not a thing of the distant future, but much needed at the present day. A key factor in limiting carbon emissions and […]
Why is solar energy used? The most commonly used solar technologies for homes and businesses are solar photovoltaic for electricity, passive solar design for space heating and cooling, and solar water heating. Businesses and industry are using solar technologies to diversify their energy sources, improve efficiency and save money. How is solar energy produced step […]
