Improving efficiency and enriching customer experience are vital outcomes that businesses are looking for from Digital Transformation. Data privacy and talent upskilling were identified as areas of improvement for scalable implementation. India : DBS and Financial Times (FT) Longitude surveyed over 1,225 senior executives from Commercial and Finance/Treasury teams of organisations across 22 markets on […]
Renewable transition still lagging in fuel, heating sectors: research – EQ Mag
With heat and fuel included, renewable sources accounted for only 12.7% of the world’s total energy supply SINGAPORE : The share of renewable energy in global power generation hit 30% last year after record growth in solar, but little progress has been made when it comes to decarbonising the heat and fuel sectors, according to […]
Research shows how electric vehicles’ impact on grid can be minimized – EQ Mag
Massachusetts: According to some projections, the widespread use of electric vehicles may need the construction of costly new power facilities to satisfy nighttime peak demands According to new research, strategically locating EV charging stations and implementing mechanisms to commence charging at later time might reduce or eliminate the need for new power plants. National and […]
Why It’s Time to Officially Get Over Your EV Range Anxiety – EQ Mag
New research looks at driving patterns, EV range and charging times, and comes to some surprising conclusions that should put consumers’ minds at ease. Electric vehicle batteries keep getting larger, and the typical driving range between charges keeps growing. The shift is partly a response to “range anxiety”—the fear of being stranded because EV batteries […]
Research: Solar panels on agricultural land are suitable for wildlife habitat – EQ Mag
Melbourne : Australia’s renewable energy transition has fuelled the construction of dozens of large-scale solar power projects (PLTS). Although this trend reduces the dependence of Kangaroo Country on fossil fuels, the construction of PLTS also increases the need for land to install solar panels. The same trend has also occurred in Indonesia, which has begun […]
Research: Exploring ways to harness plant molecules for solar energy – EQ Mag
Washington [US] : The current solar panels aren’t very efficient as they are only able to convert up to about 20 per cent of the sun’s energy into electricity. As a result, to generate a lot of electricity, the panels require a lot of space–sometimes leading forests to be cut down or farms being replaced. […]
New research shows porpoises not harmed by offshore windfarms – EQ Mag
Paris (France) : Researchers in Scotland have developed a tool to help ensure porpoises are not being harmed by the construction of offshore wind farms, which are crucial for scaling up renewable energy globally. The pile driving required to build offshore turbines can harm or even kill noise-sensitive marine mammals like porpoises, sparking concern among […]
Research extends the lifetime of molecules in organic flow batteries to practical values: Harvard School of Engineering – EQ Mag Pro
Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Cambridge, have developed a new method to dramatically extend the lifetime of organic aqueous flow batteries, improving the commercial viability of a technology that has the potential to safely and inexpensively store energy […]
Climate action on CO2 emissions alone won’t prevent extreme warming: study – EQ Mag Pro
To control climate change, the world must go beyond cutting carbon dioxide emissions and curb lesser-known pollutants such as nitrous oxide playing a key role in warming the planet, new research suggests. Decades of global climate discussions have focused on CO2 emissions, which are most abundant in the atmosphere. The common goal of reaching “net-zero” […]
New Electric Vehicle Charging Research Could Allow Drivers to Power Their Cars as They Drive on the Highway
Researchers at Cornell University are developing technology that can charge an electric car while its in motion. US highways could embed the roads with metal plates that charge the cars as they drive over them. The project is about five years away from a roll out, but can already power most electric vehicles.What if you […]
