Another milestone in battery-powered, zero-emission transport for ships
It has not been very many years since batteries were identified as a way to reverse the trend of rising emissions in the waterborne transport sector.
Methane at Sea: Finding the Invisible Climate Killer
T&E’s investigation into so-called ‘green’ liquid natural gas (LNG) ships uncovers significant amounts of invisible methane being released into the atmosphere. On a crisp Monday morning in the port of Rotterdam, the Ecodelta, a dredger boat, gets to work scraping the seabed, clearing the way for…
Study provides first statistical characterisation of methane ultra-emitters from oil and gas
For the first time ever on a global scale, using satellite imagery, scientists have quantified volumes of massive methane emissions due to fossil-fuel extraction activities and their impact on the climate. Their findings partly explain why official inventories generally underestimate the volume of these emissions….
BMW Group invests in innovative method for efficient and sustainable lithium extraction
New process from Lilac Solutions focuses on sustainable extraction, efficiency and costs Munich. The BMW Group is stepping up its expansion of electromobility and will be releasing about ten million fully-electric vehicles onto the roads over the next ten years or so. By 2030, at least…
Global Ice Melt Matches Worst-Case Climate Scenario, Study Says
The first global ice-loss survey using satellite data showed ice is disappearing faster in Antarctica and Greenland Melting on the ice sheets has accelerated so much over the past three decades that it’s now in line with the worst-case climate warming scenarios outlined by scientists. A total of…
Ocean 100: The 100 Companies That Dominate the Ocean Economy and can save the Earth
Just 100 companies account for most of the profits from the world’s seas, researchers said on Wednesday, calling on them to help save the oceans from over-fishing, rising temperatures and pollution. Together, the companies generated $1.1 trillion in revenues in 2018, or about 60% of…

Recovering lithium from natural salt pools–purity up to 99.9 per cent
New methods for lithium recovery from natural brine have been studied at Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT). The methods enabled increasingly effective recovery of lithium and the purity of the lithium solution increased from 95 per cent to 99.9 per cent, which is difficult and…
