A Stanford-led study in the Bahamas predicts that hurricane damages are set to triple if protective ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangrove forests are degraded or lost. In identified at-risk areas, these natural defenses are not only more effective than engineered shoreline solutions such as seawalls and jetties but …
An interesting look at the developing carbon capture technology used by Carbon Engineering and what it can potentially do to impact climate change. In what is called Direct Air Capture, large fans suck air out of the atmosphere and use chemical solutions to trap carbon dioxide which are either stored …
Roads offer not just a means of getting from A to B, but could also be massive energy sources to power all kinds of amenities and systems. There already exist multiple kinds of “positive energy roads” in the world, which indicate the true potential of roads as renewable energy sources. …
The Rocky Mountain Institute has reported that it is now cheaper to build and operate renewable energy infrastructure - which includes a combination of wind, solar, batteries, and other forms - than it is to build most natural gas plants. By the mid 2030s, the cost of renewable energy could …
In her article “A coalition of giant brands is about to change how we shop forever, with a zero-waste platform,” Adele Peters (2019) states that a new system of reducing waste will soon be launched where the top brand name companies will work with Loop, a zero-waste platform that promotes …
10 public buses in Singapore now have green roofs as part of the “Garden on the Move” campaign, installed by GWS Living Art. It will be tested if the plants can help reduce bus temperature so that air conditioning can be used less. Green roofs are part of the innovative …
Electricity generation from solar and wind is cheaper, but storage remains a problem. Total reliance on renewable electricity would, in fact, yield higher electric bills. A new company, Energy Vault, is working to counter this problem. The invention is similar to the way dams work. Excessive energy from a wind …
