Technologies to combat climate change.
Technologies to combat climate change Modular floating wind • Floating wind arrays could be cheaper than onshore wind farms within ten years. • Innovations are going to come in floating wind systems, which is still in its infancy Image source: Google image Broad-spectrum solar • The cost of solar energy may have by fallen by almost 90% over the past decade • Systems can utilize the largest spectrum of light give much higher efficiency. Image source: Google image New battery chemistries • Lithium-ion (Li-ion) technology has cornered the battery market. • This account for 90% of all utility-scale and electric-vehicle (EV) batteries, and seeing cost reductions of 85%. Image source: Google image Clean hydrogen — blue, then green • About 95% of the hydrogen used industrially resulting in the emissions CO2 for every tonne of H2 produced. • It canbe produced in huge quantities at low prices with virtually zero emissions. Image source: Google image Carbon-negative technologies • Biomass such as wood, grass or other organic material, captures CO2 as it grows. • Direct-air capture technology, which scrubs CO2 from the air such carbon-negative technologies may be needed in the long-term. Image source: Google image Ocean biomass • The ocean space, which we can explore in terms of solutions to climate change and the biodiversity issue. • We can harvest from the oceans in a sustainable way Image source: Google image 5G-based smart grids • The fifth generation of wireless mobile phone technology, known as 5G, offers super-fast broadband communication. • It allow remote locations to communicate vast amounts of data quickly. Image source: Google image Cement-Free Concrete by Carbicrete • We have a plastics problem, but fewer people realize that concrete has a large environmental footprint. • Instead of filling concrete with cement, Carbicrete fills it with steel slag, a by product of the steel-making process. Image source: Google image Improved Battery Efficiency • lithium ion battery is the industry standard for electronics and electric vehicle (EV) batteries, but lithium metal batteries have the potential to deliver twice the energy density.
