Building decarbonization: How electric heat pumps could help reduce emissions today and going forward – EQ Mag Pro
The electrification of heating systems could play a significant role in the transition to net zero—and heat pumps are emerging as a solution. Buildings are a significant contributor of carbon emissions. As the broader economy transitions to net zero, various stakeholders are pushing for building decarbonization—whether it’s real-estate investors who have made net-zero commitments, policy […]
Perovskite-silicon solar cells break 30% efficiency barrier – EQ Mag Pro
Scientists have broken the efficiency record for tandem silicon-perovskite solar cells, surpassing the milestone of 30 percent for the first time. The new record takes the technology beyond the upper limits of silicon alone, using low-cost and scalable materials. Silicon has long dominated the solar cell industry, thanks to a solid combination of efficiency, durability, […]
Decarbonizing grocery – EQ Mag Pro
Here’s how the grocery sector can protect the planet and position itself for green growth. Thinking about cutting back on carbs? Some people swear by it; others see it as just another food fad. By contrast, cutting back on carbon emissions is a universal mission that everyone in the global food system can rally behind. […]
Toward manufacturing semitransparent solar cells the size of windows – EQ Mag Pro
A peel-off patterning technique could enable more fragile organic semiconductors to be manufactured into semitransparent solar panels at scale. In an important step toward bringing transparent solar cells to home windows, researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a way to manufacture their highly efficient and semitransparent solar cells. “In principle, we can now […]
