“Artificial Leaf” To Produce Green Hydrogen
An “artificial leaf” mimics the natural process of photosynthesis to produce green hydrogen from sunlight and water.
Floating “Artificial Leaves” Produce Clean Fuel
Researchers have developed floating “artificial leaves” that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and could eventually operate on a … [continued]
3D-Printed Coral Mimics Nature
Researchers have found a way to use a 3D printer to make a replica of coral to help study how to prevent the destruction of coral reefs due to global heating.
Photosynthesis Differs in Rice Varieties — Natural Diversity Could Boost Yields
Rice is a direct source of calories for more people than any other and serves as the main staple for some 560 million chronically hungry people in Asia. With over 120,000 varieties of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) across the globe, there is a wealth of natural diversity to be mined by plant scientists to increase yields. A team from the University of Illinois and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) examined how 14 diverse varieties photosynthesize—the process by which all crops convert sunlight energy into sugars that ultimately become our food.
India x Cleantech — September 2019
Welcome to the inaugural issue of our new India x Cleantech series! On a monthly basis, we will pull news from across clean technology sectors in India into a single, concise summary article. Ongoing, this series will find a home over on CleanTechnica’s “Future Trends” page. Without further ado, here are this month’s highlights from India x Cleantech.
Paris Agreement Key To Future Health Of Global Economies
A new study by researchers from the University of Cambridge has concluded that 7% of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will disappear by 2100 as a result of business-as-usual carbon emissions, reinforcing the need for countries around the world to fully commit to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.
University Of Cambridge Announces Science Based Target For Carbon Reduction
The University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom announced last week that it is the first university in the world to adopt a 1.5 degrees Science Based Target for carbon reduction which will see it reduce its energy-related carbon emissions to “absolute zero” by 2048.
23 Big EV Battery Stories — #NewsBonanza
There’s so much cleantech news to cover that we generally have hundreds of stories on our “story sheet” that we’re never able to cover. In the coming days, we’ll be rolling out a couple of strategies to help deal with our backlog. Yep, this #NewsParty format is one of those.
Semi-Artificial Photosynthesis Research Offers Hope For Hydrogen Fuel
Researchers have found a new way to make hydrogen from water using natural enzymes and synthetic dyes. The semi-artificial photosynthesis process could lead to new ways of making hydrogen without expensive and highly toxic catalysts.
