CLIMAT, ENERGIES & RESSOURCES

A remarkable pilot project installed on a 240-m (787-ft) container ship has proven it's possible to capture at least 78% of emissions from the smokestacks of cargo ships and convert the CO2 into limestone pebbles, which can be offloaded and sold.

Geared up for a road trip and want to keep your favorite beers and drinks refreshingly cool? BLUETTI is launching its first ecosystem product within its diverse lineup- the SwapSolar, an industry-first duo of AC180T swappable solar generator and MultiCooler 3-in-1 portable car fridge, bringing a…

Raja Yazigi a inventé une cellulaire solaire qui pourrait contribuer à l’essor de l’énergie photovoltaïque. Le dispositif serait en mesure de capter l’énergie solaire de jour comme de nuit.

In an average day, tropical oceans absorb about 278 petawatt-hours of solar energy. Harvesting just 1/4000th of that energy would supply the entire world's daily electricity – and ocean thermal energy conversion provides a possible method.

CHRONIQUE. La société a annoncé le lancement d’une augmentation de capital de 1 milliard d’euros. Elle ambitionne de sécuriser et de boucler le cycle du nucléaire dans des engins qui ne ressemblent plus à des cathédrales technologiques, mais à de simples chaudières. Une technologie de petits réacteurs qui attire de nombreuses start-up, observe Philippe Escande, éditorialiste économique au « Monde ».

BLUETTI's latest mobile power station, AC180, is out today. With super-fast charging, 1,800W continuous AC power, and up to 2,700W lifting power, the AC180 is perfect for outdoors, offering sustainable power with its ability to work with solar panels.

En cette journée mondiale de l'eau, un rapport d'experts appelle à une refonte des pratiques de gaspillage de l'eau dans le monde.

The state that built the world's first grid-level "big battery" is striking out on an even more ambitious green energy project: the world's biggest hydrogen power station, fed by an electrolysis facility 10 times larger than anything running today.

Once a mine has been exhausted of its ore, there's really no use for it anymore – it just becomes an abandoned hole in the ground. According to a new study, however, the shafts of such mines could serve in energy-storing gravity batteries.

Solar cell efficiency may get a bump from bumps. New research suggests that building tiny domes into the surface of organic solar cells could boost their efficiency by up to two-thirds, while capturing light from a wider angle.

A Scottish company is using the Pyhäjärvi mine to build its first full-scale prototype gravity energy store.

One of the most promising, emerging solar cell technologies has received a major efficiency boost. Engineers at UNIST in South Korea have created quantum dot solar cells with a world record efficiency of 18.1%.

China's Betavolt New Energy Technology has unveiled a new modular nuclear battery that uses a combination of a nickel-63 (⁶³Ni) radioactive isotope and a 4th-generation diamond semiconductor and can power a device for 50 years.

Rolls-Royce gave us a glimpse of the nuclear future of next-generation spacecraft and Moon bases when it unveiled a mock-up of its Space Micro-Reactor Concept Model at the UK Space Conference in Belfast, which ran between November 21 to 31, 2023.

Next time you roll your eyes at a weather forecast that got it wrong, just remember that predicting the weather is one of the most complex problems in science. Now, Google has put AI to work as a weatherman, and shown that in just one minute on a single machine, it can make accurate predictions up…

Enabling a future with unlimited clean energy

Helion, backed by OpenAI's Sam Altman, has already lined up Microsoft as its first customer.

We won’t run out of key ingredients for climate action, but mining comes with social and environmental ramifications.

One of the most exciting companies in grid-level renewable energy storage – if you're the type to get excited about this kind of thing – is Form Energy, whose innovative iron-air technology promises to outperform lithium "big battery" projects at 10% of the cost. It's preparing to scale up with its…
