⚡️ Energy
Energy production and consumption is becoming cleaner, cheaper and decentralized. With connected devices you as a consumer can take control of your energy consumption. Here you will also find content about batteries, smart grids, nuclear and other innovation in the energy field.
🔋 Quantum tunnels eliminate the need for batteries in sensors
A new type of sensor only needs to get energy once and can then work for a year on it.
🥑 Food waste can be turned into electricity-producing windows
Inedible food can be used as a raw material for a substance that converts UV radiation into electricity.
🔋 Battery transformation - from parasite to an integral part of the material
Batteries have so far been something you add to a design, like a backpack that supplies power. In the future, batteries can be integrated into the construction material.
🌅 The solar energy plant that is so large that it can be seen from space
The Australian desert will be home to a solar power plant with a total power of ten gigawatts.
💡 Now we finally have a superconducting material that works at room temperature
A new material conducts electricity without any resistance, which opens the door to super-efficient electricity networks, faster electronics, floating cars and much more.
🌪 Small wind turbines are driven by the wind from cars
Wind turbines on lampposts can provide enough electricity to power the lighting and more.
🤾🏽♂️ India on track to achieve both high growth and environmental goals by 2030
Achieving environmental goals while achieving high growth is challenging - India has decided to reach its goals.
☀ Solar power now gives us the cheapest electricity ever
Expansion of solar and reduced use of coal power gives hope that we will be able to cope with climate change without it leading to disaster.
🏭 U.S. CO2 emissions went down last year
Thanks to less coal-generated energy production and more from wind, solar, and natural gas, U.S. CO2 emissions declined 2,8 percent, or 150 million metric tons, in 2019, says U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
