(Natural News) Many different types of energy sources are available in the world right now. But at the same time, these energy sources also tend to produce a lot of by-products, such as waste heat. Waste heat, which also comes from electronics, can be beneficial if harvested correctly. Now a team of researchers has developed […]

(Natural News) Saudi Arabia, in partnership with Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, is planning to create the largest solar project in the world, as the kingdom tries to move away from its dependence on oil, according to a report by Bloomberg. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son revealed the $200 billion solar project on […]

(Natural News) Data centers, which are typically used to handle data when people access online services or the internet in general, can generate a lot of heat in their operations. All the excess heat from them usually just gets wasted, but now a Swedish firm has a plan to finally put them to good use. […]

(Natural News) As the saying goes: “All good things come to an end.” Solar panel technology is certainly no exception – this doesn’t mean that solar power technology is about to go away soon, but that solar cell technologies currently offer limited lifespans that can still be greatly improved. Now, new research shows exactly how it […]

(Natural News) China has big plans concerning renewable energy in the future. After all, increased adoption of renewable energy sources can help in China’s plan to clean up its skies and minimize the levels of pollution. But while everything seems to be on the right track domestically, quite the opposite appears to be going on […]

(Natural News) What if you could turn carbon dioxide (CO2) – a common air pollutant produced by burning fossil fuel – into an alternative source of energy? Austrian researchers have reported creating a new form of CO2 with the use of lasers, according to an article on ScienceDaily. Chemists have long dreamed of converting CO2 in […]

(Natural News) An energy storage concept from the Radical ’60s could solve the biggest problem of the wind energy sector. In an article published in ScienceDaily, Kansas researchers have developed a viable hydrogen-bromine flow battery that could store excess electricity during the night. Anyone who has been in the Midwest is bound to run across a wind […]

(Natural News) We may finally be on the verge of a true alternative to costly lithium-ion batteries that rely on rare earth metals. Australian researchers recently debuted the first working example of a carbon-based rechargeable proton battery, according to an article on ScienceDaily. According to the RMIT University (RMIT) research team, their proton battery works […]

(Natural News) Nature emits carbon dioxide (CO2) as part of many different natural processes. Plants are known to take them in as a necessary ingredient in photosynthesis, and it benefits the Earth in a lot of different ways, such as accelerating plant growth and food production. Although the planet’s CO2 levels are currently near record […]

(Natural News) According to a report from EcoWatch.com, more than 100 cities around the world now rely on renewable energy for 70 percent of their electricity needs. Data from research by the non-profit group CDP has confirmed that over 100 cities worldwide receive about 70 percent of their electricity from renewable sources like geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind. This is a […]
