The global transition to renewable energy received significant attention this past week, with global leaders debating how to rapidly lower emissions. There is no shadow of a doubt that we urgently need to switch to renewable energy to secure our future – but this is only half the story. We need a radical change in how we design, manufacture and use materials. These are plastics, metals, fibers, chemicals, food and construction materials that are produced, bought and sold every day to serve a global population of just over 8 billion. And we need to embrace circular engineering. A new concept…

Nimbyism – not in my backyard – is not a new phenomenon and is always politically sensitive, of course. But this is more pronounced in an era where the “social license to operate” is considered the basis for any business case.Local community or environmental opposition – often sharpened by legal challenges or legislation – can also keep projects going indefinitely. And while the main target is coal or gas development, the imminent arrival of large new transmission lines or mass scale wind turbines across the landscape has become another source of community concern.This is why the NSW government, for example,…

Swell’s solution a that”two-way transactive retail offer” that separates the contractual and financing terms for the part of the solar-battery system tied to the net-metering value of customers from the part of the battery dedicated to serving the needs of VPP. For example, in exchange for a rooftop-solar and battery system that allows a homeowner to save money and sell electricity to the grid, a Swell customer can make a monthly lease or payment. in debt, he said. But in a separate financial agreement, Swell may agree to pay the customer monthly for VPP value provided by that battery, he…

First, the bad news: Nothing is free. The transition of the world’s energy system away from fossil fuels and towards renewable sources will generate carbon emissions in itself, as the construction of wind turbines, solar panels and other new infrastructure uses of energy – some of which must come from the fossil fuels we are trying to get rid of. eliminate the. The good news: If this infrastructure can be brought online quickly, those emissions will decrease dramatically, because more renewable energy sooner means less fossil fuel is needed to operate. the change. This is the conclusion of a study…

The Wheatridge Renewable Energy Facility uses a combination of wind, solar and battery storage technology. Portland General Electric Why you can trust us Founded in 2005 as an Ohio-based environmental newspaper, EcoWatch is a digital platform dedicated to publishing quality, science-based content on environmental issues, causes, and solutions. A first project, the Wheatridge Renewable Energy Facility in Morrow County, Oregon is the first utility-scale power plant in North America to combine wind and solar energy and battery storage in one location. The project is an important milestone for the utility company Portland General Electric, which must reduce the emissions of…

A new purification process, based on a previously developed three-stage AMD treatment process, is designed to recover high-grade aluminum, REE, cobalt and manganese products from materials of sludge by processing water with several cleaner steps and precise control of process parameters. , according to the researchers. “Obtaining REEs and CMs directly from AMD eliminates the need for sludge dissolution and associated costs of reagents and processing, resulting in more sustainable waste disposal methods with lower costs,” said Mohammad Rezaee, assistant professor of mining engineering at Penn State and co-author of the study. “We’ve shown that we can turn these waste…
