Mixing microbes with carbon nanomaterials could help the transition to renewable energy. KAUST research shows microbes and nanomaterials can be used together to form a biohybrid material that…
Solitary wind turbines produce the most power when pointing directly into the wind. But when tightly packed lines of turbines face the wind on wind farms, wakes from upstream generators can interfere…
A newly developed material that is so transparent you can barely see it could unlock many new uses for solar heat. It generates much higher temperatures than conventional solar collectors do - enough…
The circular economy will be an essential building block of a climate-neutral Europe. A circular economy means making the most of our resources, doing more with less while reducing waste and energy…
Bromine-based flow batteries are a highly efficient and cost-effective electro-chemical energy storage solution, providing a range of options to successfully manage energy from renewable sources,…
More than three-quarters of the world's cities will experience a 'striking change' in climate conditions, according to a new study.
By the year 2050, London's climate will resemble Madrid's today;…
ROME- The rise of renewable energy is likely to help the world stay on track for the goal of limiting climate change to within 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, but only until the…
Researchers have found a way to purify water and produce electricity from a single device powered by sunlight.
The scientists adapted a solar panel that not only generated power, but used some of…
By 2050, National Grid predicts, 35m electric cars will supply energy when needed.
A fleet of 35m electric vehicles could help the UK reach its net-zero carbon target by forming large battery hubs…
The Russian government will submit legislation to ratify the Paris climate agreement by September, but president Vladimir Putin warned against the perils of “absolutist” renewable energy. EURACTIV’s…
African Experts Trained On Geothermal Exploration
The Geothermal Development Cooperation (GDC) has trained 20 geologists from four African countries on collection of geosciences data and information…
A new industry association was launched in Brussels last week with the aim of bringing together all the players in the supply chain of rare earth metals, which are vital to renewable and low-carbon…
A process called singlet fission has the potential to enhance the efficiency of solar cells. The mechanism has been difficult to implement in such devices, but experiments demonstrate a way forward.
The UK power sector is on track to reach a “landmark tipping point,” according to National Grid, the country’s national grid operator, as it nears the point where non-fossil fuel sources generate…
WindEurope, Cefic (the European Chemical Industry Council) and EUCIA (the European Composites Industry Association) have created a cross-sector platform to advance novel approaches to the recycling…
The vast expanse of sea ice around Antarctica has suffered a “precipitous” fall since 2014, satellite data shows, and fell at a faster rate than seen in the Arctic. EURACTIV’s media partner, The…
Experts say the blast of heat is "the definition of unusual.”
Alaska could experience record high temperatures in the coming days as a massive heat dome parks over the region, sending temperatures…
When the Mozambican capital of Maputo gets hit by heavy storms, some parts of the city experience flash floods. This leads to a build-up of stagnant water and swampy conditions that are ideal for…
