Renewables & Electric Cars Helped Limit Increases Of Carbon Emissions In 2023
The 2023 report from the IEA shows that carbon emissions were reduced below what they might have been by renewables and EVs.
New Study Projects Geothermal Heat Pumps’ Impact On Carbon Emissions & Electrical Grid by 2050
A modeling analysis led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory gives the first detailed look at how geothermal energy can relieve the electric power system and reduce carbon emissions if widely implemented across the United States within the next few decades. Researchers created a simulation model of the … [continued]
The AI Boom Is Boosting Carbon Emissions — Should Companies Acknowledge Their Climate Share?
As companies hurry to create competitive AI models, it becomes increasingly difficult to get them to factor in electricity consumption. Yet the next generation of AI hardware and software absolutely needs environmental sustainability reporting metrics.
Sublime Systems Can Help Clean Up Carbon Emissions From Cement
Cement is one of the biggest sources of carbon emissions worldwide. Companies like Holcim and Sublime are changing that.
Penn State’s New LionGlass Is 10X Tougher & Has Half The Carbon Emissions
Researchers at Penn State have created LionGlass, which is much stronger than conventional glass and has lower carbon emissions.
Perovskites Can Reduce Carbon Emissions From Blast Furnaces
To most CleanTechnica readers, perovskites are something used in solar panels to make electricity. Now it appears they may have other uses as well. Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the UK have recently published a report in the Journal of Cleaner Production with this catchy title: Cost effective … [continued]
Steel’s Outsized Carbon Emissions Will Shrink Rapidly In Coming Decades Even As Demand Rises
With more scrapping and more direct reduction using lower carbon technologies such as Midrex’ DRI and HYBRIT every decade, and the likely creation of those facilities closer to iron ore mines, high-emissions furnaces will go out of business over the coming decades, unable to decarbonize.
Seco Seals Vs. Uncontrolled Carbon Emissions
Last week, I sat down with SECO SEALS’ president and senior engineer, Jim Scott, to talk about the importance of proper, permanent, 100% leak-free seals in automotive and aerospace applications. It was a conversation which, if we’re being honest, I did not expect to turn into a high-tech, planet-saving thriller … [continued]
Notre Dame Solar Power Plant To Cut Campus Carbon Emissions 600–700 Tons A Year
The University of Notre Dame will install a 46,000-square-foot solar array on the west side of campus, along Indiana 933, as part of an ongoing effort to diversify its energy supply and achieve net zero campus carbon emissions by 2050. The county council voted in favor of the project on … [continued]
