DECEMBER 22, 2014

The past five years have seen an average of $266 billion per year invested in clean energy worldwide. There could be a question mark over Saudi Arabia’s plan, announced in 2012, to invest $109bn in 41GW of solar power by 2032. Saudi Arabia burns up to 900,000 barrels of oil per day to generate over 50% of its electricity.

MARCH 17, 2011

The method is also capable of cleaning oil spills from beaches and separating oil from drill cuttings, the solid particles that must be removed from drilling fluids in oil and gas wells. A small amount of water was used to clean the remaining ionic liquids from the sand, but that water was also recoverable.
