How Greylag Geese Could Help Farmers Harness Solar Power More Efficiently

Researchers have developed a reactor that pulls carbon dioxide directly from the air and converts it into sustainable fuel, using sunlight as the power source.

Sun-Powered Device Turns Air into Fuel, No Fossil Fuels Required

Concrete could store considerable amounts of CO2 if conventional aggregates were replaced by pellets made from, say, biochar.

Could Concrete Be the Key to Removing Excess Carbon from Our Atmosphere?

For the first time, researchers have utilized detailed factors such as water depth and temperature to better estimate the capacity for floating solar panels on U.S. reservoirs. Even under conservative projections, these reservoirs present enormous potential, with the ability to support projects generating up to 77,000 megawatts. (Photo: Getty Images)

Power grids supplied largely by renewable sources experience lower intensity blackouts

Jon Bessette sits atop a trailer housing the electrodialysis desalination system at the Brackish Groundwater National Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The system is connected to real groundwater, water tanks, and solar panels.

Solar-powered desalination system requires no extra batteries

The map displays all electricity generation and transmission assets in Ukraine as of February 2022, along with military attacks through 6 June 2023. In February 2022, Ukraine's mainland power system included over 1,500 generation plants across seven regional power systems, with a total capacity of 59 GW. Of this capacity, 49% came from fossil fuels (coal and/or gas), 23% from nuclear power, and the rest from solar (13%), hydropower (11%), wind (3%), and biomass/biogas (
