It is no secret that society’s reliance on nonrenewable fossil fuels has resulted in the current global energy and climate crisis. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum-based fuel emissions are significant contributors to air pollution and, as a result, global warming.
Renewable energy is a key technology in the 21st Century that is addressing resource shortages and climate change. Now, a new paper in the journal IET Renewable Power Generation has considered the reliability of sustainable energy microgrids which utilize renewable energy technologies.

Spectrometers are widely used throughout industry and research to detect and analyse light. Spectrometers measure the spectrum of light – its strength at different wavelengths, like the colours in a rainbow – and are an essential tool for identifying and analysing specimens and materials.
The Haber-Bosch process, which is widely used to produce ammonia (NH3)—the basis for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers—by blending hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2) over catalysts at high pressures and temperatures—is among the most significant scientific discoveries that have helped to improve crop yields and boost global food production.
The substitution of petrochemical materials with those obtained from renewable raw materials is an important step towards increasing sustainability. Materials derived from plant cellulose are promising candidates for this application area.
A new high-profile scientific review article in Nature Reviews Chemistry discusses how carbon dioxide (CO2) converts from a gas to a solid in ultrathin films of water on underground rock surfaces. These solid minerals, known as carbonates, are both stable and common.
Imagine a typical recycling plant. Now imagine that the plant is a chemistry lab, and the crushed soda cans and waist-high stacks of junk mail have been replaced by microscopic structures worth tens of thousands of dollars per gram.
Hydrogen gas could someday replace fossil fuels as a "clean" energy source, producing only water and energy.
