Shifting South Africa's coal-heavy economy to a greener structure will require at least $250bn over the next 30 years, according to a report published by the World Economic Forum. It said about half of the total investment ($125 billion) would be needed to increase wind and solar projects as the country mothballed coal-fired plants that …
Researchers at Tokyo State University have developed a new compound called isophorone diamine (IPDA) that can reportedly remove carbon dioxide from ambient air with 99 percent efficiency, at least twice as fast as existing systems. This process also happens much faster than other carbon capture technologies. The researchers behind the new study are now working …
Tesla hosted a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) workshop for the Texas Electric Reliability Commission (ERCOT). Tesla designed a demonstration test that 64 Tesla Powerwall battery owners took to power the grid as a whole. The demonstration demonstrated that there were no technical obstacles for the owner to supply power to the Texas grid. The core …

Wireless lapel microphone, a type of wireless microphone, has become popular recently. It is a small, small and portable microphone, usually worn in the location of the user's clothing lapel. It can be freed from the cable, and the user can do whatever he or she wants without worrying about the sound. It is generally …
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Germany achieved a record conversion efficiency of 26.0 percent for double-sided silicon solar cells. Designing the rear cell surface for full area charge carrier collection passivation contact is key to success. The recording unit is based on TOPCon technology (Tunnel oxide passivation contact). The technology, …

The automobile industry has come from the era of fuel to the era of new energy, in the past few years, the sales of new energy vehicles continue to explode, is the suppression of fuel vehicles in all aspects, according to the passenger association estimates, by 2022 China's new energy vehicle sales will increase to …
A joint Dutch and Chinese research team has developed a double-sided heterojunction photovoltaic cell. Using a thin transparent conductive oxide (TCO), the cell uses 67 percent less indium and achieves a conversion efficiency of more than 22 percent. Image credit: TU Delft The TCO used in the battery is based on indium oxide (III) oxide …
