(image credit: Fairphone , CC BY-NC 2.0 license ) A new study appears to identify potential alternative materials to use in the positive terminals of consumer electronics batteries, replacing cobalt. The batteries used in cell phones, laptops and electric vehicles rely on cobalt, a hard-to-find metal that is largely drawn from poorly regulated African mines, and associated with considerable environmental destruction, exploitative labour practices and other problems in places like the Democratic

Stormwater from melting snow, ice, or rainfall is increasingly becoming a challenge in cities and urban centers. Naturally, stormwater should evaporate or infiltrate into the ground. The soil in natural habitats, such as forests, absorbs significant amounts of stormwater, minimizing runoff. Plants, leaves, stems, and grass also slow runoff, facilitating increased stormwater absorption.

The greatest obstacle to EV adoption may not be range anxiety, unreliable public charging, or even the high upfront costs, but rather the lack of consumer awareness about EVs. Like most electric drivers, I regularly field ridiculous questions both on the road and online, and some of the things people say to me reveal the wide reach and effectiveness of the anti-EV disinformation machine.

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 the early 1980s, America’s biggest company knew more about climate change than basically anyone else. Rising emissions posed a threat to Exxon’s business — selling fossil fuels — so the oil giant took the lead on understanding what was called the “CO2 problem.”. At the time, Exxon was pouring $900,000 a year into researching the effects of burning fossil fuels.
