A New Dawn for CCUS After Five Decades of Ups and Downs

The world is on a quest for solutions to decarbonize its economy. More than 70 countries and over 1,200 companies have set a net-zero target, according to the United Nations. To limit warming to less than 2°C, emissions of hundreds of gigatonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) would need to be prevented and removed from the atmosphere.

Electric Construction Machines Vital for Greener Construction

Construction machines are estimated to generate around 400 Mt of CO2 emission per year, which is around 1.1% of global CO2 emission. Decarbonization of non-road mobile machines will therefore be an important factor in efforts to limit global climate change. With an increasing number of countries around the world committing to a net-zero carbon future, the construction industry is facing growing scrutiny of its' greenhouse gas emissions.

Introduction to Battery Swapping for Electric Cars

As the EV population is booming, quicker recharging needs have been the need of the hour. Battery swapping (which has taken off in China for the car segment) allows an EV user to drive into a battery swapping station (BSS) and replace a depleted battery for a fully charged one in under 5 minutes. While conventional cable based charging has had years of development, battery swapping is in its nascent stages and has major hurdles to cross before being offered as a widespread complementary solution to conductive charging. This article provides an overview into the market, the enabling technology and players.

Academia, Industry and Consumers Tackle Challenges for Wearable Tech

Wearable fitness technologies, like smart watches and fitness trackers, are becoming increasingly common. These devices can allow people to track fitness metrics like physical activity, heart rate, calories burned, and even sleep quality. However, given how new these inventions are and how rapidly they are changing, it has been difficult to establish global standards for evaluating their reliability and accuracy.
