Given recent warnings of forthcoming supply constraints in the wind sector, Aggreko has updated its offshore equipment offering with oil-free air compressors.

Researchers have found a faster and more efficient method of producing CoSn(OH)6, a potent catalyst necessary for high-energy lithium-air batteries.

As more of Africa's power is generated via renewable energy, the need for reliable energy storage has become increasingly important for grid resilience and flexibility.

Perovskite solar cells designed by a team of scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have attained a world record efficiency of 24.35% with an active area of 1 cm2. This achievement paves the way for cheaper, more efficient and durable solar cells.

According to researchers, tidal range schemes are economically feasible and have the potential to minimize energy bills.

To increase the capacity and quicken the charging of lithium-ion batteries, Professor Won Bae Kim and his group at POSTECH use the electron spin of the anode material.

Orkney-based Neil Kermode has been awarded an OBE for services to renewable energy and to the community in Orkney.

A study team headed by Prof. Zhiyi Lu from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has suggested a facile and affordable strategy to synthesize a hybrid cathode to acquire high-performance seawater electrolysis for the generation of hydrogen.

With the huge ocean regions needing to remove around 2.5 to 13 gigatonnes of atmospheric carbon every year to fulfill climate goals, the likelihood of global seaweed farming to aid in capturing considerable carbon does not seem practical, as per the research published in Communications Earth & Environment.

For many technology enthusiasts, the metaverse has the potential to transform almost every facet of human life, from work to education to entertainment. Now, new Cornell University research shows it could have environmental benefits, too.
