Solar energy stored in the form of fuel is something scientists hope could partially replace fossil fuels in the future. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden may have solved a long-standing problem that has hindered the development of sustainable solar fuels. If solar energy can be used more efficiently using iron-based systems, this could pave the way for cheaper solar fuels. “We can now see

Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS, technologies have been identified as key to reduce harmful emissions and to mitigate the effects of climate change. A new study, focusing on leading CCS countries, Norway and Brazil, identifies how these technologies should be implemented equitably, applied to hard-to -abate industrial sectors, and not used to justify continued fossil fuel dependency.

För första gången har forskare räknat ut den totala landarealen som jordens länder har tecknat in i sina enskilda klimatplaner. Resultaten visar på en djup klyfta mellan länders förväntade markanvändning och markens faktiska potential att begränsa klimatförändringarna. – Genom att sammanställa den totala mängden mark som länder vill ta i anspråk för att nå nettonollutsläpp visar vår studie hur ore

Tourism’s impact on local communities and their ecosystems is a continuous challenge. This applies when we travel, but also when we eat, stay overnight and the activities we take part in at the destination. In a new project funded by the European Union, 15 partners from 10 European countries will try to find solutions for integrating circular economy principles in the hopes of minimising waste, re

Michael Molavi and Isabel Schoultz have received a major research grant from the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Programme. Together with newly hired post-doctoral researcher, Elin Jönsson, they will study how ongoing de-democratisation processes affect protest cultures and how these effects comparatively vary across Europe. Europe is experiencing a steady democratic decline. The trend is dis

Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Sverige satsar lite på biometanol som biobränsle, trots att flera studier visat att metanol från skogsråvara och annan biomassa ger högst energiutbyte och på sätt kan klassas som miljövänligast. Nu tyder nya forskningsresultat från motorlabbet vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola på att något justerade förbränningsmotorer ka
