Reduce, reuse, responsibility.The Paris 2024 Olympics is nearly over, and aside from being a spectacular and exciting Summer Games so far, France’s capital has successfully hosted the most sustainable Olympics to date. It’s achieved this goal largely by reducing its carbon footprint, including lowering the use of resources, reusing existing infrastructure, and powering all venues with renewable...

The history of a homegrown solar giant Founded by Richard Swanson in Silicon Valley in 1985, SunPower first distinguished itself with world-record solar cell performance — a technical edge that Maxeon maintains today. When the firm faced financial problems in 2001, Rodgers, a Silicon Valley semiconductor legend and former classmate of Swanson’s, rescued the company with a check for $750,000. It...

Photo: Yuldong-With-U The Yuldong-With-U complex in Ulsan, South Korea, has achieved a significant milestone as the world’s first apartment block to derive all its heat and power from hydrogen fuel cells. The complex accommodates 437 households and features multiple fuel cell generators supplied with hydrogen from a nearby refinery via a pipeline. Three container-sized fuel cells installed on the...

Fuel cells are not some novel new technology. In fact, most history books credit the invention of the fuel cell to Welsh chemist and physicist William Grove, who, in the late 1830s and early 1840s, conducted experiments proving that electric current could be produced from an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen over a platinum catalyst. Yet, fuel cells never really took off as a...

Tree Energy Solutions (TES) and Saibu Gas will promote using electric natural gas from green hydrogen (e-NG) as a clean energy source across Japan.Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the two companies have agreed to explore opportunities including a long-term e-NG offtake contract by Saibu gas from TES production projects.Under this contract, CO2 is captured and combined with green hydrogen to...

The Future of Car Explosions with Electric and Hydrogen VehiclesCar chase scenes are a Hollywood blockbuster staple. We’re all familiar with high-speed pursuits culminating in spectacular explosions, with cars flying through the air and fires blazing from fuel tanks. These thrilling actions keep us on the edge of our seats, but how much of this is grounded in reality? More importantly, with the rise of...

Demand is rebounding this year, rising by 0.7 percent over the first six months — and yet fossil fuel generation has continued to fall: Coal generation dropped by 24 percent and gas by 14 percent compared to the same period last year. It’s the first time gas and coal generation have declined in the EU without energy demand also trending downward, the report notes. The EU’s shift toward solar and...

These...

Transitioning the world towards cleaner and greener energy is proving to be more challenging than we once all hoped. There are real concerns about what impact the slower speed of uptake is having on our collective ability to control climate change impacts, though the effort continues pushing forward. Indeed, we now have our first operating trains and trucks that run on hydrogen, we are close to very...
