EV battery enclosure thermal runaway evaluation method
The test method supports performance assessment of various materials to enhance electric vehicle (EV) battery safety.
Marine electric motors – engineering solutions together with Arnold Magnetic Technologies
Today’s boat engines, gallon-for-gallon, emit more pollutants than vehicles on the road do. Many manufacturers of personal watercraft initially switched to outboard propulsion and are now looking to electric motors as the next step.
The first SMR to receive NRC design approval
This marks the first approval for a first generation-IV nuclear reactor design by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Catalyst cuts fuel cell cost, boosts durability
A new electrocatalyst can lead to an 80% reduction in the amount of platinum consumed and extended hydrogen fuel cell service life.
First industrial scale carbon capture plant in the UK
The Tata Chemicals Europe facility is expected to capture 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually and reduce the company’s carbon emissions by over 10%.
New tech to supplant gas-based district heating
A new district heating technology charged by surplus grid power has been engineered to store electricity from nuclear, solar or wind sources.
CERN looks to boost energy efficiency of critical cooling systems
Digital twins will be developed to support online diagnostics and maximize cooling system efficiency.
FPT Industrial exhibits the sustainable future of powertrains at the BEYOND — IVECO Group Days event
At the event, FPT Industrial stressed the key role that powertrain manufacturers play in developing the powertrain of the future in order to achieve carbon neutrality.
Smart grid integration of EVs
A smart grid integration project launched in Germany seeks to increase the share of green power and relieve local grids.
Passive cooling beats summer heat
Opening windows at night and pulling down shades during the sunniest part of the afternoon can be effective in preventing dangerous heat buildup in homes.
Weighing the resource life cycle of nuclear power
How do the material resource requirements of nuclear power compare with those of renewable energy and fossil fuel-based power generation?
Video: Preparing to roll the world’s longest passenger train
The world’s longest passenger train is being assembled as part of the celebrations for the 175th anniversary of Switzerland’s railway system.
Cracking down on solar cell performance
The implications of crack formation for crystalline silicon-based solar cell performance were explored.
A single fiber-optic cable for OSP direct burial, drop and aerial scenarios
The outside plant (OSP) cable simplifies outdoor fiber-optic cable runs with a single cable rated for direct burial, fiber-to-the-home/fiber-to-the-business drops and aerial scenarios.
Hyzon Motors, Schlumberger Limited to reduce emissions in upstream oil and gas operations
Hyzon Motors will team up with Schlumberger Limited to reduce emissions in upstream oil and gas operations with power generated by its heavy duty fuel cell systems.
Video: Clean energy investment to rise in 2022, but not enough
While global energy investment is set to increase by 8% in 2022, this is far from sufficient to tackle the energy and climate crises.
Podcast: The current and future state of renewable energy
Review the current and future state of renewable energy, barriers to adopting renewable energy sources and much more.
Where renewables recently supplied 100% of energy needs
Over 100% of this state’s power needs were met by renewables for a few hours on May 8, 2022.
Tandem solar cell design breaks 30% efficiency barrier
The 30% efficiency milestone has been achieved, and even surpassed, for perovskite-on-silicon-tandem solar cells.
Planning for the grid of the future
The PJM Interconnection has developed a roadmap for handling the various changes affecting its system.
