Turning Down the Heat on Solar Fuels – Chimie Douce
Musings on “solar fuels machines” for an efficient, scalable and cost-effective way to convert water and carbon dioxide into value added molecular energy carriers.
Power to Ammonia
ISPT and its partners in the Power to Ammonia project have recently concluded a feasibility study into the storage of renewable energy in ammonia.
Co-Production in Climate Change Research: Reviewing Different Perspectives
Global environmental challenges like climate change are likewise challenging our conceptions of science, and the role of science in society. Climate science is having a growing influence on our lives – in the media, government policy, our schools or corporate...
Slicing the Pie: How Big Could Carbon Dioxide Removal Be?
If 2°C warming by 2100 is to be prevented, it will become important to adopt strategies that not only avoid CO2 emissions, but also allow for the direct removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Global Challenges: Editors’ Choice
The editors of Global Challenges share their favorite articles.
Criticality of Materials: “The Great Transition” Symposium in Darmstadt, Germany
The symposium “The Great Transition” brought together leading scientists to address the criticality of materials as key to sustainable technologies.
How Degradable are Biodegradable Polymers in Water?
The stability of biodegradable polymers in both fresh water and sea water is investigated to determine how degradable they really are.
Never Say Never
The argument for making synthetic fuel from CO2 using renewable electricity in an increasingly electrified world is by now a familiar one. It hinges on the unlikely scenario that lithium ion batteries will never power the massive fleet of large-volume transportation...
