One of the best developments that have come out of the past few decades is that people are becoming a lot more environmentally friendly. Many of us are becoming more eco-conscious about the different decisions we make allowing us to become friendlier towards the environment. This life can be pretty hard considering it takes a lot of unlearning everything we have been taught in the past.

In response to the spiralling cost of fixing potholes across the UK road network, ACO Water Management has stressed the key role of effective surface water management in addressing the issue at source. A recent survey has found that almost 1.7 million potholes were filled in by councils in England and Wales last year, amounting to a spend of £93.6 million.

In 2015, then-Secretary of State John Kerry called the Paris climate treaty a “tremendous victory.” In the years since, $3.8 trillion has flowed into fossil fuels globally. Now Kerry and other White House officials are focusing on banks and insurers that are still offering a lifeline to new fossil fuel projects. Can they slow the flow of cash?

here are few areas harder to decarbonize than heavy industry. But the stakes are high. Altogether, industry represents over 30% of global GHG emissions, when counting both direct process emissions and industrial energy use. It’s also a huge opportunity for innovation. This week, Shayle talks with Rebecca Dell , the Director of the Industry Program at The Climateworks Foundation, about the technologies that might transform cement, steel and petrochemicals.

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.

In our personal lives, many of us typically give little thought to the selection of batteries in home devices. A television remote — assuming that we haven't switched to a smartphone-controlled smart TV — requires little more than a primary AA or AAA battery. However, as domestic devices become smarter and responsible for increasingly complex or important tasks, the performance of the underlying battery becomes more crucial for design engineers to consider.

There are 2,600 megawatts of solar power capacity installed in the U.S. today that can be considered community solar, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). That is a little less than 5% of all solar capacity in the country, and it is also not very widespread—only three states, Minnesota, Florida and Massachusetts, account for over half of that community solar capacity.

Solar energy sounds great on paper, with a lot of benefits for the environment. When they were first introduced, the panels themselves were so costly to make that they were only used for specialized industries, rather than being available for everyone to use. The good news is that the solar industry has been aiming to maximize how efficient the process is for all, and with smaller and thinner solar power cells, costs were reduced and there was a focus on that, rather than just high performance s
