<p>Antibiotic resistance is often associated with hospitals and the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture. Both are genuine problems, but new research suggests another potential culprit that many people haven’t considered – droughts caused by climate change. A recent study published in the journal Nature Microbiology found that when soil dries out, it ...

<p>Abstract: Although the metal hydride CaH2 possesses a remarkably high hydrogen-based energy storage density, its application in thermal energy storage systems for next-generation concentrated solar power plants presents a challenge due to its 1100 °C decomposition temperature. These plants are expected to operate within a range of 600 to 800 °C, which makes CaH2 unsuitable [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.solarpaces.org/published-at-the-journal-for-energy-storage-improving-the-thermal-energy-storage-performance-of-calcium-hydride-via-vacancy-defects-for-next-generation-concentrating-solar-power/">Published at the Journal for Energy Storage &#8211; Improving the thermal energy storage performance of calcium hydride via vacancy defects for next-generation concentrating solar power</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.solarpaces.org">SolarPACES</a>.</p>

<p>Source: Synhelion Liquid fuels remain indispensable for long-haul transportation in aviation, shipping, and heavy-duty road freight, because of their unmatched energy density. Today, fossil fuels power global transportation, accounting for roughly 15% of worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For decades, renewable drop-in fuels remained too expensive to fundamentally replace fossil fuels.
