Brexit-induced spatial restrictions reveal alarming increase of fishing fleet’s carbon footprint
In a study published today in Marine Policy, researchers have unveiled striking evidence that fisheries management decisions such as spatial fisheries restrictions can increase greenhouse gas emissions.
Decarbonizing the world’s industries
Harmful emissions from the industrial sector could be reduced by up to 85% across the world, according to new research.
Non-powered dams offer opportunity for clean energy
Ninety-seven percent of U.S. dams don’t make electricity. A new tool could help tap that resource.
A FORCE to be reckoned with: Computer modeling for optimal energy partnerships
Integrating nuclear power into broader energy systems, including renewable energy sources and heat-intensive industries, could improve flexibility and unlock revenue streams for nuclear power producers.
A bright future in eco-friendly light devices, just add dendrimers, cellulose, and graphene
In research that could lead to a new age in illumination, researchers from Japan and Germany have developed an eco-friendly light-emitting electrochemical cells using new molecules called dendrimers combined with biomass derived electrolytes and graphene-based electrodes.
Radar measurements can vastly improve a key technology for the energy and process industries
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a high-frequency radar technique that can measure exactly what is happening inside a fluidized bed with unrivalled precision.
Researchers in Japan develop a new ultra-high-density sulfonic acid polymer electrolyte membrane for fuel cells
In a project commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have developed poly(styrenesulfonic acid)-based PEMs with a high density of sulfonic acid groups.
Biogas produced with waste from apple juice making can minimize use of fossil fuels in industry
Scientists at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Federal University of the ABC (UFABC) in São Paulo state, Brazil, have successfully produced biogas from apple pomace, the pulpy residue remaining after the fruit has been crushed to extract its juice.
Dirty laundry: How much microfiber do we emit with our washing?
The UK’s laundry releases microfibres weighing the equivalent of up to 1,500 double-decker buses in microfibres every year, according to new research.
Researchers: Energy-efficient construction materials work better in colder climates
The researchers from Lithuania and Cyprus claim that the energy payback period of using phase change materials, new technology in the construction industry, is the shortest in a colder climate.
Beans IN toast could revolutionise British diet
Researchers and chefs at the University of Reading aim to encourage British consumers and food producers to switch to bread containing faba beans (commonly known as broad beans), making it healthier and less damaging to the environment.
Using fungi, researchers convert ocean plastic into ingredients for drug industry
Research on fungi underway at the University of Kansas has helped transform tough-to-recycle plastic waste from the Pacific Ocean into key components for making pharmaceuticals.
Leveraging machine learning to help predict ship exhaust gas emissions
Ships are a major means of commercial transport, contributing to 80% of global goods and energy trade. However, they emit exhaust gases—from the engines when they are sailing, and from the engines and boiler when they dock in ports.
Study finds anger over COVID-19 layoffs keeping hospitality workers from returning to jobs
Researchers at the University of Houston Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership say many skilled hospitality workers who were furloughed or laid off during the COVID-19 pandemic are angry and unlikely to return to the industry.
