Nearly 20% of intact tropical forest landscapes overlap with extractive industries

Green Car Congress

A new study from WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) and WWF finds that nearly 20% of tropical Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) overlap with concessions for extractive industries such as mining, oil and gas. The total area of overlap is 376,449 square miles (975,000 square kilometers), about the size of Egypt. Grantham et al.

Study finds the wettability of porous electrode surfaces is key to making efficient water-splitting or carbon-capturing systems

Green Car Congress

Bubble growth and departure are ubiquitous phenomena in gas-evolving reactions, which govern the overall energy and mass transport. However, an in-depth understanding of the relationship between bubble dynamics and the electrochemical processes, in particular, the wettability effect on a gas-evolving porous electrode remains elusive.

Fusion Fuel Green partners with CCC to develop green hydrogen demonstrator plants in Middle East

Green Car Congress

It has been specifically designed to be small, lightweight and possible to be mass produced. It can be combined with a high-efficiency solar cell and attached to a specifically designed concentrated photovoltaic solar panel. HEVO is Fusion-Fuel’s proprietary miniaturized PEM electrolyzer. Many more will follow.
