Exergoeconomic assessment of a high-efficiency compressed air energy storage system
Abstract Energy storage systems have a critical part in enabling greater use of intermittent energy resources. For a sustainable energy supply mix, compressed air energy storage systems offer several advantages through the integration of practical and flexible types of equipment…
The use of biofuels may reduce black smoke emissions of cars by 90%
The UMA participates in an international study with the Future Power Systems Group of the University of Birmingham (UK) that investigates how to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles without affecting engine performance.
Countries would be well advised to assist each other with regard to gas
Prior to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Europe sourced a great deal of natural gas from Russia. But as a result of EU sanctions on Russia, this supply is no longer there.
Introducing green carbon science
Carbon is an indispensable element for the formation of living organisms. At the same time, the carbon energy system, including biomass, enabled the ancestors of human beings to enter the age of carbon civilization, out of the period when they eat birds and animals raw.
Record ammonia production achieved with inexpensive cobalt catalyst at low temperatures
Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world, with a production of over 187 million tons in 2020. About 85% of it is used to produce nitrogenous fertilizers, while the rest is used for refining petroleum, manufacturing a wide range of other chemicals, and creating synthetic fibers such as nylon.
Framework helps local planners prepare for climate pressures on food, energy & water systems
As the world faces increasingly extreme and frequent weather events brought on by climate change – such as droughts, floods, heatwaves, and wildfires – critical civic resources such as food, water, and energy will be impacted.
Harnessing solar energy: new method improves readings of double-sided panels
A leading laboratory in photonics and renewable energy at the University of Ottawa has developed a new method for measuring the solar energy produced by bifacial solar panels, the double-sided solar technology which is expected to meet increased global energy demands moving forward.
Climate extremes: The energy required for adaptation calls for stronger mitigation efforts
A new study published today in Nature Communications by researchers from the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, the European Institute on Economics and the Environment and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine finds that adapting to climate change will require more energy than previously estimated, leading to higher energy investments and costs.
China’s cities leading the way on carbon reduction – Study
Thirty-eight Chinese cities have reduced their emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) despite growing economies and populations for at least five years – defined as proactively peaked cities, a new study reveals.
Novel multi-proton carrier complex as efficient proton conductor at high temperatures
As the world is moving towards more environment-friendly and sustainable sources of energy, fuel cells are receiving a lot of attention.
Ukraine War’s Supply Chain Impacts Bust Myth of US Energy Independence
The global impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have exposed vulnerabilities in U.S. energy security and undercut the myth that the United States, or any other major manufacturing economy, is truly energy independent yet, according to an analysis by researchers at the energy nonprofit RMI and Duke University.
To solve Brazil’s energy and food crisis: store more water
Storing greater amounts of water in Brazil’s reservoirs could increase precipitation and river flow, alleviating the water and energy supply crisis in Brazil.
