Researchers at Teesside University are working with hydrogen consultancy EnAcumen to develop a first-of-its-kind hydrogen purification process which they say will overcome the difficulties in extracting hydrogen from ammonia. Ammonia, a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, has long been acknowledged as integral to the successful implementation of hydrogen as a commonly used fuel.

Britain’s cities need urgent transformation in the next decade and beyond if the country is to meet its 2050 net zero targets and create cleaner, safer spaces for citizens, according to a study from E.ON and the UK Green Building Council. The two organisations have collaborated on a new initiative called Streets of the Future, drawing on insight from experts across energy, transport and the built environment to create a blueprint of what the UK’s cities should aspire to become.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Engineering and architectural consultancy Sweco has produced calculations seemingly showing that, with circular urban planning, future cities can save as much as 75 percent of their total energy needs and reduce carbon emissions by 97 percent compared to current levels. By applying 5 principles and 15 concrete circular actions to a future city with 90,000 inhabitants, Sweco’s experts appear to demonstrate how cities – where two-thirds of the world’s population will live – can become frontrunners

Water fleas, or Daphnia , could provide an important ‘early warning system’ for chemical pollution in our lakes and rivers and, where prevention to pollute has failed, could work as a bioremediation agent to help reduce hazards. Researchers have devised a new framework using high throughput ‘omics’ technologies to detect the effects of ambient chemical mixtures – of the type and concentration typically found in the environment – on the biology of living organisms.

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.

Individual bearings use relatively little energy, but as they are in such widespread use and are also one of the most frequently replaced components, the sustainability of the bearings you use matters.
