Berlin gets creative with renewable energy and energy storage in race against Russian gas cutoff this winter.
The new Northvolt factory will use recycled wastewater for cooling.
Back in January, I wrote an article about how Steel Dynamics had plans to dump E. coli and more toxins into Texas freshwater*. In a nutshell, Steel Dynamics is constructing a steel mill in south Texas and wanted to dump industrial wastewater into the river system there. It was noted … [continued]
Hawaii has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and yet there are serious water quality issues to content with, primarily due to the large quantity of cesspools in the State. This is a huge issue for all of the islands, and impacts the health of humans, animals, and our ocean ecology. Here’s the story of a local non-profit that’s working to fix this crappy situation.
Many cities are looking for a new future after the decline of traditional manufacturing industries. From the American Rust Belt to Europe’s industrial heartlands, mayors are striving to reinvigorate and reinvent, while cleaning up the pollution left by heavy industry.
Vienna Textile Labs is tackling the hyge ecological issues of the textile industry with bacteria-based textile dyes. We got to interview the Vienna Textile Lab team after they won the Audience Choice Winner and 3rd Place Winner at Climate Launchpad event this month.
We understand what’s involved in recovering renewable heat from the Earth by deploying geothermal recovery technologies. Now it’s time to become familiar with another untapped renewable energy resource: wastewater thermal energy. Sewage happens to be an energy source flowing beneath the surface of almost all modern cities. Not only is it … [continued]
Central California, already painfully stressed by the worst drought in 50 years (which the US Drought Monitor designates as “extreme or exceptional drought,” the most serious category on the agency’s five-level scale), has another problem with its water supply. Aquifers that supply drinking and irrigation water have recently had to … [continued]
MIT scientists and engineers have a new twist on phase-changing renewable technology. It combines the most efficient generation of solar steam to date by our favorite energy machine, the sun, and a new graphite-based collection system. This method puts out the lowest optical concentration reported thus far: steam generation at an … [continued]
