The UK needs to make better electrical machines and make its manufacturing processes more efficient if it is to reach net zero by 2050, according to a world leading group of engineers.

Researchers at Rice University have now discovered a cost-effective, low-emission method for harnessing hydrogen from plastic waste, accelerating the growth of versatile, clean hydrogen and allowing it to fulfill its long-term potential as a clean energy resource.

Hydrogen is seen as a possible replacement for fossil fuels, but the technologies utilized to produce it either emit too much CO2 or are too expensive.

What happens to orchards when they've reached the end of their lifespan and are no longer producing crops? Conventionally, orchards are burned.

A research group headed by Professor Minrui Gao from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has come up with a nickel (Ni)-based anion-exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC) anode catalyst that showcases high resistance to ammonia (NH3) toxicity.

In a significant stride towards net-zero, automotive leader Volvo has forged a strategic partnership with Connected Energy, a renowned provider of second-life battery energy storage systems (BESS), to harness the untapped potential of used electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

A ray of hope might be on the horizon for substantial areas of the world suffering from water scarcity: the capacity to efficiently convert heated air into drinkable water.

In a report released today by the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE), experts have presented options for driving Australia’s progress towards a zero emission electricity system.

Researchers at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Northrop Grumman, a multinational aerospace and defense technology company, have found a way to maintain valley polarization at room temperature using novel materials and techniques.

SEA-KIT International has won funding from the Zero Emissions Vessels and Infrastructure (ZEVI) competition to design and manufacture a hydrogen-fuelled Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV).
