Carbon dioxide released from burning coal and methane are known as two of the most damaging greenhouse gases contributing to climate change. Yet coal bed methane (CBM) is on the march, with a sizable market growth forecast for the next decade. While many countries signed up...
The energy use of cryptocurrencies— or crypto—is increasingly under the microscope as these decentralized, digital payment systems become more widespread. Crypto energy consumption and crypto energy require computing power to exist. However, some fear crypto's electricity...
Natural gas liquids, or NGLs, are a set of hydrocarbons with multiple uses, from making plastics to rubber tires to heating our homes. But their very name provokes questions, such as how can something be both gas and liquid? A slew of acronyms like LPG and LNG add confusion to...
Biological energy and biological energy conversion are vital power sources that drive many energy-requiring cellular processes. Produced through metabolic reactions within cells, this energy form involves the conversion of chemical compounds into usable energy, allowing...
The energy transition is not just about how we generate power; it’s about how we store it. And there are millions of tiny power stations driving around on four or more wheels that will be key to meeting our rising energy demands. Electric vehicle (EV) batteries can form part...
Imagine long lines at the gas station, soaring fuel prices, or sporadic power outages. Or imagine there’s no water coming from the faucet. Each of these scenarios could be a sign of a fuel availability crisis. Yet fuel availability is much more than point-of-use. Fuels are a...
There’s no doubt that electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain popularity. Not only do they help EV drivers lower their carbon footprint, but they also help folks save money on gas. However, one issue that makes some people think twice about becoming EV owners is how to charge...
No matter where we live, the urgency to reduce global warming and climate change is growing. As such, many of us are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint affordably. Actions like carpooling, public transit, and even diet changes (like eating less red meat) can all...
Power-to-X, or PtX, is the process of turning renewable electricity into energy storage. PtX allows us to capture excess renewable energy in various forms for later use. PtX comes as the world is undergoing an energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources,...
Electric vehicle (EV) batteries play a critical role in powering electric vehicles. As we strive for sustainability and lower carbon emissions, it’s worth understanding EV batteries and what sets them apart from traditional automotive batteries. However, we also must understand...
