The team at FeTu (with founder Jon Fenton, centre). An Elland-based firm whose turbine-based device has global potential to slash CO2 emissions by converting waste heat into electricity, has been awarded the Institute of Physics (IOP) Business Start-up Award. Established in 2016 by engineering entrepreneur Jon Fenton, FeTu’s seemingly “simple but revolutionary” device is a two-stage turbine designed to “reduce both energy consumption and emissions by unprecedented levels”

Within the span of a week, major utilities Iberdrola, Uniper and NextEra all made moves into the hydrogen market, in a reminder that the miracle molecule is not the sole domain of the oil and gas sector. But whether utilities will have the ability — or need — to compete with oil companies in the emerging hydrogen market remains an open question.

In these troubled days, the world is divided into two hostile camps—each faction demonizes the other, and refuses even to listen to the other side’s arguments. Families have been torn apart, and sometimes it seems people are about to come to physical violence, or even block former Facebook friends. But what if the batteries-vs-hydrogen debate is based on a false choice?

Read time: 10 mins With the recent focus on systemic racism in America, the oil and gas industry is depicting itself as leading on the issue of diversity in the workforce. However, its public relations efforts and slick advertisements do not reflect the industry's actual behavior.

Tesla’s mission has always been to advance the transition to electromobility, and Elon Musk has said many times that he’s open to licensing deals that would allow other automakers to use the company’s technology. As far as we know, only two major brands have ever taken Tesla up on the offer: back in the 2010s, Tesla briefly provided batteries for Daimler’s electric smart and B-Class Electric Drive, and for Toyota’s RAV4 EV.

If the government is serious about the utilising nature-based solutions, we need to turbocharge the market for urban greening, argues the UK Green Building Council's Philip Box. It should be not too outlandish to hear mention of a 'green recovery' or 'building back greener' and feel that there should be some actual greenery involved. Over the past few months, green spaces have provided a vital lifeline for many, and this has, understandably, led to a surge in their popularity.

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.

For millennia, bricks have been a cornerstone of pretty much any major building project. The use of bricks allows us to build strong, secure, and safe foundations and shapes for buildings. They are one of the most important forms of construction tool that we have ever come up with as a species. But did you know that we’re still using the same kind of bricks as we were thousands of years ago?
