United Nations Global Goals Set In 2015 Prompted High Hopes For Sustainable Progression However, recent reports indicate that most will not be achieved by 2030. Governmental Role Governments play an essential role in…

Smart grid is a hybrid electrical distribution network which integrates information and communication technologies. It is more energy-efficient than traditional power systems due to this integration. Smart grid technology enables improved energy efficiency, higher grid reliability and enhanced customer service. Furthermore, it facilitates systematic communication between suppliers and consumers. Improved efficiency Smart grids use real-time…

Smart cities leverage technology to improve city services and lower carbon emissions while simultaneously engaging their citizens through surveys and social media to ensure projects reflect the needs of its inhabitants.

Urban mobility is a central concern in cities worldwide. Accessible and sustainable public transport must provide people with access to locations within cities as well as across cities. Studies confirm that human travel patterns abide by a two-parameter power-law distribution, yet few investigate the factors responsible for this distribution and their implications for urban resilience.…

Energy storage refers to any method that allows one to save energy for later use, from chemical energy stored during photosynthesis in plants to pumping water behind hydroelectric dams back behind to lithium-ion battery storage on an entire grid level. ESS can assist in balancing electricity supply and demand on multiple timescales, including second-by-second basis,…

Land use planning seeks to ensure the sustainable and responsible development of land areas, which includes determining where people will reside, work and play. Before any plan is put into action, it is vital to consult the people affected by it in order to prevent conflict and ensure its success. This step will also help…

CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at their source, such as power plants, industrial facilities or saline aquifers. CO2 can be compressed into a supercritical fluid form and injected into porous rock formations for structural trapping purposes, with rock layers acting as seals to stop it migrating outward. Capturing CO2…
