Through Innovate UK, DfT has commissioned a consortium to assess the economic and technical potential of the UK’s first ‘eHighway’. The study is part of the UK government’s plan to reach zero net emissions for heavy road freight. It aims to demonstrate the technology is ready for a national roll-out. The Department for Transport has awarded funding through Innovate UK to a consortium to lead the UK’s first ever study on the electrification of long range trucks with dynamic charging, using overhe

In the great debate over crypto mining vs. climate, there are two camps. First, the crypto enthusiasts, like Square, say things like, "Bitcoin is key to an abundant, clean energy future ". And then there are the energy wonks, who point out that, if bitcoin mining were a country, it would already be in the top 30 for total energy consumption , rivaling Ukraine.

Malaysia’s Kinabalu Park, which surrounds Mount Kinabalu, the 20-largest peak in the world, is home to a nickel mine like none other. In lieu of heavy machinery, plumes of sulfur dioxide, or rivers red with runoff , you’ll find four acres of a leafy-green shrub, tended to since 2015 by local villagers. Once or twice per year, they shave off about a foot of growth from the 20-foot-tall plants.

A group at Coventry University say they have demonstrated a process for recovering all of the metals inside, using a process called bioleaching. Bioleaching, also known as bio-mining, employs microbes to oxidise metals. The process has been widely used in the mining industry, where micro-organisms are used to extract valuable metals from ores. More recently, this technique has been used to clean up and recover materials from electronic waste, particularly the printed circuit boards of computers,

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.

But all of this stuff is made from resources of some kind, uses up energy and eventually winds up as waste.
