Renewable energy

Dr Sam Cobb works at the flow electrolysis station, courtesy Department of Chemistry photography Monday, February 28, 2022 Researchers here have developed an efficient concept to turn carbon dioxide into clean, sustainable fuels, without any unwanted by-products or waste. Most methods for converting carbon dioxide, or CO2, into fuel also produce unwanted by-products such as…

Over the past 15 years we have been introducing renewable energy to buildings across the station in the form of solar thermal and solar photovoltaics (PV). The post Renewable Energy at Rothera Research Station appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
Date: Wed, 11/17/2021 A Littleport business centre could become “a shining light” in the district after being singled out as the ideal location for Council-funded solar panels. At an East Cambridgeshire District Council Operational Services Committee meeting, it was unanimously agreed that, in principle, ESpace North provided the best opportunity for the Council to kickstart…
