Bad farming and forestry practices, climate change and increasing fires are turning huge swaths of land into desert in a vicious cycle that may not stop until much of our global ecosystems is gone forever. And we won’t get them back.

Your website is the online portal for your audience, and your website’s homepage is the cyber front door. How you welcome your viewers will be the first impression of your brand and is critical to move them through the sales funnel to become your brand advocates. As the old saying goes, “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression,” so no matter how important your invention or novel your product, you better write a homepage that entices them to learn more.

As the world responds to the challenges of climate change, energy systems are evolving, and evolving fast. The past 10 years have seen the rise (and dramatic cost reduction) of renewable energy such as wind and solar, to the extent that they are no longer considered alternative energy. They have become mainstream energy sources. Now, what will be the “next big thing” as the world shifts to a low carbon future?
Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
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.

A common misconception is that solar panels are fragile (they’re glass, after all) and require lots of maintenance. All of this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, modern solar panels have come a long way in almost every respect – from performance to durability and longevity. Today, most brands offer warranties in the 25-year range, with peak performance measured in decades rather than years.

Products that are Safe for All Species Through Time : The materials we use within construction, the products we use within our buildings, are as vital as the food we eat, the water we drink and the air that we breathe if we are to maintain and improve the health of those who live work and play within our facilities. Key to understanding the material and products we use is the transparency that enables us to make the correct specification, choice and procurement.

In the first quarter of this year, China added 5.2 gigawatts (GW) of installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity, according to the National Energy Administration. The figure is a drop from the 9.65 GW in the same period of 2018, due to the new policy on the construction of PV facilities for 2019 having been issued later in the year than similar policies issued in earlier years.

In November 2017, a magnitude 5.5 earthquake shook Pohang, South Korea, and the researchers blamed the development of enhanced geothermal project for it. The main working principle of enhanced geothermal revolves around creating a network of fractures in hot rock that is otherwise too impermeable for water to flow through.You pump cold water down one, the Earth warms it up, and you extract hot water at the other end.

It is not unusual for California to be first and unique. Just one year after the 1973 oil embargo exposed this country’s reliance on foreign oil, California was the first state to implement a minimum energy standard for buildings, in an attempt to reduce this energy dependency. At the same time, the California Energy Commission was created to maintain and enforce the new California Building Energy Efficiency standards (see “What Is Title 24?

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.
