The rise of global carbon emissions over the last decade has been contrasted by the decline in pricing for photovoltaics (PV). This article elaborates on how PV can become a major tool in the battle against climate change.
The decrease in price for electricity from renewable sources causes the investment in more renewables to stagnate. This article explains the mechanism behind it and how this issue could possibly be solved.
This is the second instalment of our investigation into the possibilities for a low-carbon future, where Vincent Diringer focuses on technology. The biggest fallacy is as follows: there is a need for continuous power generation, and the intermittency of renewables would make it impossible for it to be a viable option. The solution needed isn’t one-size-fits-all, and the sheer amount of projects being undertaken are certain to help find the best available option for any sector, issue, or entity.
In this first article introducing a new article series breaking down how we can reach a low-carbon future, we briefly explore the energy sources that are at the heart of the low-carbon debate.
This article investigates the role of technology in meeting the climate goals set out in the Paris Agreement.
This article examines the concept of a 15-minute city, where the design is focused around accessibility rather than mobility. The consequences of such construction reduce pollution, commuting and extortionate travel costs.
Lithium-ion batteries - the way to a cleaner future? This article examines the implications of LIB recycling, and current policies around battery recycling.
Paula Struthoff takes a look at the fossil fuel industry as one of the pivotal actors at the intersection of energy production and climate change mitigation.
Paula Struthoff assesses the value of supply-side policies as an effective way to reduce fossil fuel emissions.
This article is the second of a two-part series, focusing on the basics of energy demand.
