Ghana looks in the direction of nuclear power for help in achieving its industrial ambitions while contributing to the fight against climate change.
Computer data centres produce vast amounts of heat that often gets wasted - now that’s being harnessed to warm swimming pools and improve overall energy efficiency.
Solar thermal technology has the potential to provide both long-duration storage and industrial heat, yet it has been largely overlooked in the Australian context. That is about to change.
Energy modeling software provides insight into whether letting your A/C relax while you’re gone all day will save you energy – and money.
The 2012-2015 power crisis was the most intense, protracted and severe in the history of Ghana.
Fossil fuels are heating the atmosphere – but the fact that we’re burning them may not be the only reason.
Any traveller on the London Underground during the summer will know how hot and stifling it can get. That the Tube can be hotter than Bali or Barcelona is a fact of life for commuters. Running trains in…
A new, carbon-neutral thermocell could harvest waste heat from power stations and convert it into electricity. Researchers…
