Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were flat for a third straight year in 2016 even as the global economy grew, according to the International Energy Agency. The decline was driven by a surge in shale gas supplies and more attractive renewable power that displaced coal. Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive director.

Sand is emerging as a key ingredient in the race to develop a viable electricity storage system for renewable energies. Renewable energy sources generally spill energy due to supply and demand mismatches, so we’ve designed the TESS device to capture this ‘spilt’ energy for later use or release to the grid. by Andrew Spence.
