Unconventional Solar Panel Siting Saves Agricultural Land While Providing Plenty Of Power
Researchers in California have identified new siting strategies for solar panels and CSP facilities that could meet all the state’s energy needs without taking up valuable agricultural land or affecting conservation areas.
Utility-Scale Solar’s Impact On The Land
Originally published on the ECOreport The joint study from Stanford University and UC Riverside reads like a report card. The authors recognized that “solar energy has one of the greatest climate change mitigation potentials” of all renewable energy sources. It can play a leading role in helping the United States … [continued]
New Vehicle Navigation Tool Can Cut EV Energy Use By As Much As 51%
A new vehicle navigation tool that can cut EV energy use by as much as 51% has been created by researchers at the University of California – Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering. The new tool — an “eco-routing” navigation system — works by taking into account a variety of different … [continued]
Faster Acceleration In EVs With New Supercapacitor Improvement? New Research From UC Riverside Tantalizes
Could electric vehicles (EVs) soon get a big boost to their acceleration thanks to new, improved supercapacitors? The researchers behind an interesting new development in the field think so — thanks to the development of a novel nanometer scale ruthenium oxide anchored nanocarbon graphene foam architecture that improves the performance … [continued]
