Researchers at ICMS in Seville have developed a hybrid perovskite solar cell that generates electricity from both sunlight and raindrops, using the photovoltaic and triboelectric effects. A fluorinated CFₓ polymer layer enables water resistance, triboelectric energy harvesting, and high light transparency without reducing solar cell efficiency.

China is accelerating its efforts to clean up heavy industry, allocating money for the first time last year to help hard-to-decarbonize sectors increase the use of fuels such as green hydrogen. The push comes as the country continues building more solar panels, wind turbines, and nuclear reactors and expanding its…

Essentially everyone agrees : Americans shouldn’t pay higher electric bills to feed AI data centers’ insatiable demand for power. But what will it actually take to prevent cost spikes? Lots of states have decided the answer is a “large load tariff” — an unsexy term that basically translates to special utility rates…

Researchers from South Korea improved solar panel dust detection by using SMOTE and stable diffusion (SD) augmentation, with SD boosting detection accuracy from 76.5% to 98.9% while preserving spatial realism.

La retirada climática de Estados Unidos: negacionismo, temeridad y futuro hipotecado.

The Iraqi Customs Authority has cut customs duties on solar energy systems from 33% to 5% - covering PV panels, inverters, cables, and lithium batteries - to accelerate solar adoption, following financing support from the Central Bank of Iraq.

Trump, bajo su política de maximizar la producción de combustibles fósiles, busca que Europa reactive sus propios yacimientos también con el fin de reducir la dependencia de rutas marítimas tradicionales.

El secreto del éxito del fabricante está en que el cable HVDC aguanta temperaturas de operación de hasta 90ºC.

A siete meses de la fecha de presentación de la regulación para el transporte y distribución de gas en España, las tasas financieras de retorno europeas están bajo presión.

La caída de los precios del gas y del CO2, estos últimos con el promedio mensual más bajo desde septiembre, junto con el descenso de la demanda respecto a enero en la mayoría de los mercados, favoreció esta tendencia.

<p>Electric cars already have no tailpipe emissions, but even cleaner EVs — built with low-carbon steel, aluminium and batteries, and in a way that minimises harm to people, communities and the environment — are now within reach, according to a new ranking of the world’s largest carmakers. Crucially, this progress ...
