It is estimated that worldwide, a staggering 2.2 billion tonnes of waste is produced per year. Much of this waste is packaging from food and beverages, a great deal of which will end up in a landfill, since certain types of packaging are non-degradable or can take hundreds of years to break down. Some plastic bottle types, for instance, may take as long as 450 years to do so.

Mattresses pose a serious problem when it comes to disposal. These large household products take up more than their fair share of space in landfills because they’re difficult to compact, clog machinery, and create large soft spaces that can turn into sinkholes after filling. The problem of mattress disposal can be confronted from two sides. The first is to recycle old mattresses, reusing their components to make new products.

Fuel cells could be the cheaper option for energy and storage. A team of researchers at the University of Applied Sciences in Germany compared an offgrid PV-electrolyzer fuel cell system with a standalone solar-plus-storage counterpart to see which one had better economic performance. The research, which was carried out in Niger, revealed that decentralized PV-driven hydrogen had lower levelized cost of energy and levelized cost of storage compared to the PV-battery system.

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.
