Analysis of EV charging in Ireland suggests public fast-charging infrastructure may become commercially viable in short- to medium term

Green Car Congress

In their study, published in the journal Energy Policy, they also found that. The study was based on an extensive analysis of public charge event data for the entire island of Ireland since the rollout of the public charging infrastructure began. The analysis of household charging was based on a more limited quantity of household data.

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.

EEA report finds most Europeans in cities still exposed to levels of air pollution exceeding WHO guidelines

Green Car Congress

The long-term WHO AQG for PM 10 was exceeded at 51% of the stations and in all of the reporting countries, except Estonia, Finland and Ireland. For example, fine particulate matter caused about 17,000 fewer premature deaths in the EU in 2016, compared with 2015. The long-term WHO AQG for PM 2.5 17 % of the EU?28
