In my work, especially in the northern regions, I often face power supply issues. And the main issue is always not so much how to generate electricity, but how to save it. It seems that the staff at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found the answer to this question. They have developed a new way to store energy inside concrete. The authors turned a mixture of water, cement and technical fluids into a supercapacitor. They can be used as a complement to conventional batteries due to their fast charging and discharging properties. As an example, scientists cite roads built using an unusual carbon-cement supercapacitor. Such surfaces are suitable for fast charging of cars without the need for wires. And building components created using such material can accumulate energy within themselves. The prototype is currently capable of storing enough energy to power a 10-watt LED for 30 hours. But in the long term, there is a chance that the new material will help solve the looming problem of energy conservation. #roadtechnology #greenenergy #powergeneration

🌪️ Turbulent + Turblent = Laminar = Energy Saved 🔋 Pipes and pipelines are crucial for fluid distribution from domestic tubes to industrial plants.🏭 A significant portion of global energy consumption comes from frictional losses in turbulent flows. However, pipe flow can be stabilized to remain laminar, drastically reducing energy usage.⚡ Research shows that a simple, steady perturbation can eliminate turbulence, achieving complete relaminarization. This breakthrough promises massive energy savings and efficiency improvements in fluid transport systems. 🔋 🔗 Paper: https://lnkd.in/gBrFedjR 💳 video: American Physical Society #EnergyEfficiency #FluidDynamics #Innovation #SustainableTechnology #Engineering #Sustainability #Energy #GreenTech #Sustainable #GlobalWarming #Pipeline #Pipe #PipeFlow

🌊 Eco Wave Power harnesses the power of ocean waves to generate clean electricity. ⚡ By connecting specially designed floaters to existing marine structures, the system captures the energy of wave movement. As the floaters rise and fall, they drive hydraulic pistons that pump biodegradable hydraulic fluid into onshore accumulators. This builds pressure, turning a hydraulic motor that powers the generator, converting wave energy into electricity sent to the grid. The fluid is then recycled in a closed-loop system.

We are excited to announce that our latest research paper, titled "Design Optimisation of a Variable Flow CO2 Pipeline – A Statistical Approach," has just been published in the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control. A special congratulations to our former PhD student, Dr Maryam A., on this achievement, and a big thanks to our co-author Prof Dianne Wiley for her contributions and directions in guiding this research. In this paper, we present a novel methodology for optimizing CO2 pipeline designs that operate under variable flow conditions. Our research demonstrates that pipelines designed for optimal performance under variable flow rates often require a higher level of overdesign compared to those intended for steady-state conditions. This work underscores the importance of balancing trade-offs between pipeline oversizing and installing multiple pressure boosting stations, especially for large transportation distances and long-duration projects. We invite you to explore our findings and the implications for cost-effective and efficient CO2 transport solutions. The paper is available in open access form, and you can read it here: https://lnkd.in/ghAxGJm9 #CCS #CO2Transport #PipelineDesign #Research #OpenAccess #GreenEnergy #Sustainability #ClimateAction

For years, the consensus was that variable speed drives had little to offer for Archimedes screw applications. However, recent trials by ABB have shown significant energy savings and operational benefits. By rethinking how drives are used, we can achieve greater efficiency and reliability in wastewater treatment. 💧 #ABB #WaterIndustry #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #Innovation

9moIn DAC, land depends on the energy source (renewable) way more than on the surface occupied by the DAC device. The renewable energy input (ultimately the land) is correlated with the technology efficiency, which in turns depends on the purity of the co2 produced. Any analysis decoupling these three factors (energy-dependent surface, efficiency, co2 purity) leaves the analysis ambiguous. The analysis mixes up heat and electrical energy, incorrectly. Heat should be converted in primary energy for a fair comparison.
