The solar power industry hit a remarkable achievement in 2020. According to the International Energy Agency (IAE), solar photovoltaics are now the cheapest way to produce energy in most countries. Solar energy prices have been falling since the technology’s inception, but this is a substantial accomplishment. Ten years ago, solar was the most expensive energy option, but its cost has …

Electric vehicles are, in all likelihood, the future of commercial and private transportation. Nations like China, India, Britain, and France have all declared their intentions to phase out the production of traditional vehicles in favor of electric alternatives. But with many economies relying on the production of gas-powered cars for success, is political change the best answer to innovating the …

Hybrid vehicles have been around for over 100 years. The first hybrid vehicle was developed in 1898, and after being presented at the 1900 world’s fair, broke multiple Austrian speed records. As technology has advanced, so have the designs of consumer and industrial vehicles, and today’s innovations have shifted toward electric cars. These vehicles are only one of the environmentally-conscious …

Austin, Texas: At the ripe age of 98, Dr. John Goodenough, professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin (UT) and inventor of the lithium-ion battery, is looking towards future energy storage solutions through a newly launched partnership with Energy Exploration Technologies (EnergyX). Earlier this year, Goodenough, along with several members of his lab …

There’s a silver lining to the pandemic: the worldwide quarantine measures that have shut or slowed down production, travel, and the way people commuted daily have helped the environment recover. The change in the daily habits of companies and individuals means that air quality has improved and wildlife has started roaming freely in places they never dared to venture before.  …

The rise of green energy inventions like solar thermal, wind turbine, and biobattery are shaping the way we think and live in a carbon-dependent industry. Furthermore, the cheap and clean energy generators enabled a paradigm shift towards adopting modern structural designs in energy independence.  These green alternative energy inventions have gained global fascination. For instance, Toyota plans on continuing the …

Climate change activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Greta Thunberg has made headlines for eschewing flying in jets to help reduce her carbon footprint. In 2019, she sailed across the Atlantic from New York rather than fly home to Sweden. Like many forms of transportation, airplanes emit the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide as they wing overhead. Airplanes emitted nearly 1 …

Few of us can deny the negative environmental impact of single-use plastics and disposable products in general. After all, an estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste ends up in our oceans every year, to say nothing for the myriad plastics sitting in landfills. Consumers are increasingly prompted to do our part to reduce the effects of climate change, and …

Rensselaer team develops effective solar power plant using affordable, accessible resources  TROY, N.Y. — Partha Dutta, a professor of electrical, computer, and systems engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, envisions a not-so-distant future where even the most remote parts of the world would have access to clean and renewable energy. His vision wouldn’t require a large power grid or expensive technology. …

When most of us think about geothermal energy, we probably conjure images of Old Faithful and bubbling geysers, creating the heat necessary to create energy. But geothermal energy is now a reliable and growing source of renewable energy as the U.S. weans itself off fossil fuels.  According to the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA), “In 2016, there were 3,567 Megawatts (MW) …

Traveling is one of the greatest experiences someone can have.
