A material that has been heralded as the key to producing more efficient next-generation solar panels could soon be ready for mass production, thanks to a new method developed by researchers.

The silicon-based computer chips that power our modern devices require vast amounts of energy to operate. Despite ever-improving computing efficiency, information technology is projected to consume around 25% of all primary energy produced by 2030. Researchers in the microelectronics and materials sciences communities are seeking ways to sustainably manage the global need for computing power.

This premium article explores ocean-based carbon dioxide removal, looking into abiotic and biotic CDR methods including ocean alkalinity enhancement, direct ocean capture, artificial downwelling, coastal blue carbon, and more. It will also delve into the key current players in the market and their technology.

Africa's first project financing facility for mini-grids, CrossBoundary Energy Access, announced $25 million in new funding commitments from ARCH Emerging Markets Partners Limited, Bank of America, and Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund. This investment will leverage an additional $25 million to deploy $50 million of capital into CBEA's near-term pipeline of solar powered mini-grids.

Terrasmart has supplied its racking system for Chicago's largest commercial solar installation. The rooftop and carport solar installations combined yield 213-kilowatt dc of solar generating capacity.

Regional aircraft manufacturer ATR, Swedish airline Braathens Regional Airlines and sustainable aviation fuel supplier Neste collaborated to enable the first ever 100% sustainable aviation fuel-powered test flight on a commercial regional aircraft.

AFC Energy is pleased to announce its partnership with Kier Group plc for the initial lease of its new Power Tower clean Hydrogen power generator units for deployment to a UK construction site.

To decarbonize transport, Volvo Trucks already today offers battery electric trucks and trucks that run on renewable fuels, such as biogas. In the second half of this decade, a third CO2-neutral option will be added to its product portfolio - fuel cell electric trucks powered by hydrogen.

Oranje Nassau, a 20-meter, 55-passenger sightseeing boat and water taxi operating on Berlin's urban waterways was recently put back into service after replacing its diesel engine with a fully integrated all-electric propulsion system by Torqeedo.

SuperTrack includes a Smart Tracking algorithm that increases energy production by up to 3% to 8% compared with the conventional algorithms. It combines Smart Tracking and Smart Backtracking algorithms to enhance energy yield, particularly during periods of overcast weather, highly diffuse irradiance and complex, uneven terrains.
