According to the scientists from the University of Surrey, bulk adoption of perovskite solar cells will never be commercially feasible until several key challenges have been defeated by the technology.

BlueFloat Energy has today announced the findings of a socio-economic analysis of the Greater Gippsland Offshore Wind Project.

Flying is the most damaging mode of transportation for our climate. At least, up until now. But work is already underway to investigate technical alternatives to conventional aircraft.

Carbon dioxide - a greenhouse gas - can be converted into valuable hydrocarbons via the process of electrolysis. In this procedure, the design of the electrolysis cell is essential. The so-called zero-gap cell is especially suitable for industrial processes. However, there are still some limitations: The cathodes can clog up rather quickly.

Our modern rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, are anything but sustainable. One alternative is organic batteries with redox-organic electrode materials (OEMs), which can be synthesized from natural "green" materials.

As Corn Belt states seek ways to curb nitrogen flow from farms into the Gulf of Mexico, new University of Illinois research adds evidence for winter cover crops as an important part of the solution.

A vice president of Chevron with a petroleum engineering degree from Missouri University of Science and Technology is highly involved with her alma mater, as well as the nonprofit organization she founded, to help instill sustainable practices into daily life.

The current rechargeable batteries, like lithium-ion batteries, are far from environmentally friendly.

A group of researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil have grown microalgae under controlled conditions in a laboratory in order to use their metabolites, especially lipids, with the prime purpose of producing biofuel.

Finding ways to purchase sustainable products for the work of science has yielded another golden award. The U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has been recognized with a gold-level GreenBuy Award for its purchase of environmentally friendly products in fiscal year 2022.
