A pioneering California initiative, known as Project Nexus, is testing the placement of solar panels over irrigation canals to simultaneously generate clean energy and conserve vast amounts of water. With a state investment of $20 million, the project aims to address both water scarcity and renewable energy goals. Early projections suggest that if this dual-purpose […]
A pioneering carbon capture system has been commercially deployed on a cargo ship, marking a significant step in decarbonizing the maritime industry. Developed by UK-based startup Seabound, the technology is installed on the cement carrier UBC Cork. It captures CO2 emissions from the vessel’s exhaust and converts them into calcium carbonate, or limestone, a key […]
A breakthrough in battery recycling could make recovering lithium from spent devices economically feasible for the first time. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have engineered a unique electrode that acts like a sponge, selectively absorbing lithium from a solution made from dismantled batteries. This new process is highly efficient and remarkably affordable, costing […]
AutoFlight Aviation Technology has introduced a mobile, solar-powered vertiport designed to solve a key infrastructure challenge for the emerging air taxi industry.
