For every tonne of copper used in renewable energy systems, carbon emissions are reduced by between 100 and 7,500 tonnes over the system’s lifecycle, according to the International Copper Association (ICA). As India transitions to renewable energy, copper has emerged as a key material in the generation, transmission, and storage of clean energy, thanks to...
READ MOREAmerican chemists have developed a plasmonic photocatalyst based on rhodium and copper, enabling the extraction of hydrogen from methane at a relatively low temperature of 450 degrees Celsius. This innovation is expected to lower energy and fuel costs for hydrogen production, making the process more sustainable, as detailed in a paper published in Nature Catalysis....
READ MOREIn mid-July, metallurgist Constellium successfully cast its first aluminum plate using hydrogen combustion at its research center in Voreppe, Isère, France. This marks a significant milestone for the company as it explores sustainable production methods aimed at reducing carbon emissions. The multinational company plans to deploy the hydrogen combustion system, still in the development phase,...
READ MOREResearchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have introduced a new method for converting carbon dioxide (CO₂) into ethanol, a sustainable raw material for chemical applications. This development could significantly contribute to reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. “We can remove the greenhouse gas CO₂ from the environment and reintroduce it into a sustainable...
