When I first read about the work of the University of Queensland research team claiming to create electricity from CO2, my initial thought was that this was a cross between a fossil fuel funded beatup and a fairytale. But, digging deeper, and talking with Dr Zhuyuan Wang of UQ’s ARC … [continued]
Even though university is closed for the summer in Australia and students are dividing their time between catching some rays to patch their tans and working to pay their fees, there is plenty of good news. Scientists and researchers are holding true to their calling and looking for solutions to … [continued]
In a paper to be presented at the Australian Transport Research Forum by University of Queensland researchers Thara Philip, Dr Kai Li Lim, and Jake Whitehead, empirical data on real-world driving and charging patterns of 239 electric vehicles across Australia is analysed. As Tesla is the only car manufacturer that … [continued]
From an interview with UQR’s Team Principal, Brayden Klimmer. Students at the University of Queensland (UQ) have access to world class facilities and cutting-edge equipment. A project at UQ called University of Queensland Racing is just one of the ways students can gain industry experience before they graduate. Each year, … [continued]
I recently wrote about Stanford University’s commitment to go 100% renewable when it comes to electricity. The university claimed to be the “first research university to use 100% renewable electricity.” Being a research university, I assumed that Stanford had done its research. Also, I figured it was well aware of … [continued]
An Australian company says it is testing an aluminum-ion battery that charges faster and stores more energy than any lithium-ion battery. But is that true?
Three new research breakthroughs are bring the advent of “electricity too cheap to meter” closer and closer.
A new study based on new modeling has shown that the average global temperature could rise by 1.5 degrees as early as 2020. According to a new study published by researchers from the University of Queensland and Griffith University in Australia, global warming could occur much more quickly than previously … [continued]
Originally published on RenewEconomy by Giles Parkinson. Wind energy has a significant impact on wholesale prices, particularly in those peak demand events when fossil fuel generators used to make most money. New research from the University of Queensland has added more understanding about why fossil fuel generators hate wind energy, and … [continued]
