Ten years ago, Siemens Wind Power, as it was then known, started playing around with a concept for a thermal energy storage system. Last year, the wind turbine manufacturer now known as Siemens Gamesa plugged a 30-megawatt/130-megawatt-hour demonstration system into the grid at Hamburg harbor. By next year, it could be breathing new life into coal power plants that are currently scheduled for a date with a wrecking ball.

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.

Manmade chemicals at levels below the toxic threshold for marine animals are now linked to a rise in the number of porpoises killed by disease. Europe banned polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in 1987 because of their believed toxicity to people and wildlife. These chemicals have a history of use in electrical equipment, coatings and paints. But the chemicals, often still found in electrical products and likely to be in landfills, still enter the environment and foodchain carried in water.
