35 h. ago Advanced steelmaking technologies could substantially reduce carbon emissions

The long-term aspirational goal of the Paris Agreement on climate change is to cap global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, and thereby reduce the frequency and severity of floods, droughts, wildfires, and other extreme weather events. Achieving that goal will require a massive reduction in global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across all economic sectors. A major roadblock, however, could be the industrial sector, which accounts for roughly 25% of global energy- and process-related CO2 emissions—particularly within the iron and steel sector, industry's largest emitter of CO2.

Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda has raised concerns about the environmental benefits of battery electric vehicles (EVs), suggesting that hybrids offer a more practical path to reducing carbon emissions in certain regions. He argues that Toyota's 27 million hybrid vehicles have the same carbon footprint as only nine million when the entire lifecycle of emissions is taken into account. The post Toyota Chairman: A Single EV Produces as Much Pollution as 3 Hybrids over Its Total Lifecycle appeared first on Breitbart.

1 week ago Fruit peels could help power your smartphone's camera flash. Here's how

Imagine turning fruit waste into technology that stores electricity. This would reduce food waste and promote clean energy storage. Postdoctoral researcher Vianney Ngoyi Kitenge transformed mangosteen peels into specialized carbon materials that he used to make supercapacitor energy storage cells. He came up with a simplified way to do this, hugely reducing the cost. This breakthrough converts agricultural waste into valuable components for energy storage technology. He sets out how it works and what's needed to make it happen.
