Stanford team increases power of corrosion-resistant solar cells; advance for solar fuels

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford, with colleagues at University College Cork in Ireland, have shown how to increase the power of corrosion-resistant solar cells, setting a record for solar energy output under water. We have now achieved the corrosion resistance and the energy output required for viable systems. —Andrew Scheuermann.

Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row

Green Car Congress

The report provides updated results on the continuous monitoring of the three main greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Since 2015, the EU’s CO 2 emissions have stabilized, representing 9.6% Also in Eurasia emissions grew in Turkey (5%) and Ukraine (8%). below the levels in 1990 and 17.9%

ICCT study finds noise and climate impacts of a new generation of supersonic aircraft could be significant

Green Car Congress

Canada, Germany, Iraq, Ireland, Romania, Turkey, and parts of the United States would experience frequent sonic booms; the most heavily impacted regions could be exposed to between 150 and 200 incidents per day, or up to one boom every five minutes over a 16 hour flight day. The fleet of SSTs would emit an additional 1.6
