Energy storage enables America’s abundant domestic renewable energy resources to come together into an efficient power grid that’s reliable, cost-effective and built for the future. Storage technology can be found throughout the electricity grid, including transmission networks and distribution networks (where electricity is delivered directly to homes and businesses), generators co-located with solar or wind…

Urban mobility refers to the movement of both people and goods within cities using transportation systems, whether for work purposes, leisure pursuits, accessing services or home deliveries. It encompasses individual movements related to work, leisure or services accessed as well as distribution movements allowing home deliveries. Contemporary approaches to sustainable mobility offer an abundance of…

With increasing scrutiny on public-purpose organisations, digital governance is crucial in maintaining trust. This article will outline…

Carbon capture and storage (CCS), is one of the key tools we have available for combatting global warming. CCS involves collecting CO2 emissions from energy intensive processes before they enter the atmosphere, then injecting them underground for permanent storage. Renewable technologies such as wind and solar complement each other by continuing to produce low-carbon electricity…

Electric vehicles (EVs) have quickly gained in popularity throughout many nations. While they provide environmental, health, and financial benefits for consumers and businesses alike, EVs may also present several unique challenges – range anxiety, charging infrastructure restrictions and battery performance may all pose issues that must be overcome before being considered a feasible choice. Initial…

Energy policies shape how nations develop and use energy sources, with significant effects on public health from reduction in air pollution from fossil fuels as well as promotion of renewable energy technologies that are less damaging to the environment. Fossil fuels have a limited supply and are harmful to the environment, so in order to…

Everything we buy comes at a carbon cost – from extracting raw materials and manufacturing goods, through shipping them worldwide.
