A new energy centre that will provide heat to thousands of homes across Midlothian has opened today (26 November). The project is part of a partnership between Midlothian Council and Vattenfall, called Midlothian Energy Limited (MEL), and will supply low carbon heat to new homes in Midlothian. The heat will be supplied via the MEL heat network that is planned to expand into existing buildings and other areas in Midlothian and north into Edinburgh.

Inside this reaction vial, spotlit by concentrated sunlight, a piece of black polystyrene from a foam tray breaks down into a recyclable material (image credit: Hanning Jiang). Black foam and black coffee lids, which are often made of polystyrene, usually end up in landfills because colour additives lead to ineffective sorting. Now, a US group has shown that the use of an additive in black plastics can allow sunlight or white LEDs to break down black and colored polystyrene waste into reusable m
It’s not uncommon to see blazing headlines in newspapers and magazines, not to mention on the local evening news, reporting yet another electric vehicle fire. With so many reports, one might think that EVs self-immolate on a regular basis at a far higher rate than automobiles powered by internal combustion engines (ICEs). In actuality, it turns out that the reverse is true: the risk of an internal-combustion-engine vehicle fire is between 20 and 80 times greater.

An oil-spill-eating product from A&S International has been used at a facility of SUEZ recycling and recovery UK to reduce Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) levels to non-hazardous status. The high levels of TPH were present in the by-products of a street-sweepings washing process. Specifically, TPH levels were high in the filter cake outputs of the washing process, which meant that the output was classified as hazardous waste, and therefore could not be used to supply material for other pro

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
By providing flexibility services to renewable energy systems, consumers can both help in balancing power grids and receive financial benefits. Hosna Khajeh's doctoral dissertation from the University of Vaasa, Finland, introduces new methods that enable the efficient utilization of energy users' flexibility resources in distribution and transmission networks.
SolarEdge Technologies , as a part of its focus on its core solar activities, will cease all activities of its energy storage division. The decision will result in a 500-employee reduction, most of whom are in South Korea. The expected quarterly operating expenses savings due to the closure are approximately $7.5 million, with the full run rate expected to be achieved by the second half of next year.
