Solar-powered tower makes carbon-neutral jet fuel
Researchers have designed a fuel production system that uses water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight to produce aviation fuel. They have implemented the system in the field, and the design, published July 20 in the journal Joule, could help the aviation industry become carbon neutral. The aviation sector is responsible for about 5% of global anthropogenic
What installing EV infrastructure REALLY takes – (MD7 interview)
For electric vehicles to ultimately work – I mean really work, at scale – it’s going to take so much more than a fancy-looking new car or truck with a fancy new integrated electric powertrain parked in every driveway across the nation.
