Bradford Council has worked with waste plastic road company MacRebur to become the first local authority in the region to specify road surfacing material that contains recycled plastic. Based in Lockerbie, MacRebur has been processing waste plastics otherwise destined for landfill or incineration since 2016. The resulting granules or flakes reduce the volume of bitumen (fossil fuel) in the asphalt mix, whilst enhancing the bitumen as an aggregate binder.

An innovative new project is ‘distilling’ residues from Scotland’s famous whisky industry into sustainable, green energy. The successful trial involving Scottish Water, SEPA and major distiller Chivas Brothers saw distillery residue brought into Aberdeen’s Nigg Waste Water Treatment Works for the first time, with promising results. The CAMBI thermal hyrolosis plant breaks down the organic matter before it is used in the anaerobic digester.

Many in the EV industry see solid-state batteries as the future, and one of the reasons is that the more stable solid electrolyte is expected to be safer than current liquid electrolytes. However, new research indicates that the picture may be more complex. A recent study led by the DOE’s Sandia National Laboratories, published in the scientific journal Joule , found that a solid electrolyte can still fail under certain circumstances, such as when the battery is crushed, punctured, or when built

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

We know that EVs produce much less pollution over their lifetimes than fossil-powered vehicles (regardless of the thousands of daily Facebook posts claiming the opposite). However, generating the electricity to charge them is not emission-free, and as millions more EVs get hooked up to the grid, smart charging to maximize efficiency will be an important part of the picture.
