Global Warming: Batteries

Global Warming: Batteries

  • Improving the energy density of lithium-ion batteries enables applications in electric vehicles and energy storage at an affordable cost
  • Quantum computing could allow breakthroughs by providing a better understanding of electrolyte complex formation, by helping to find a replacement material for cathode/anode with the same properties, and/or by eliminating the battery separator
  • Higher-density energy batteries can serve as a grid-scale storage solution

Reforming Food and Forestry

Reforming Food and Forestry

Twenty percent of annual greenhouse-gas emissions come from agriculture-and methane emitted by cattle and dairy is the primary contributor (7.9 gigatons of CO2e, based on 20-year global-warming potential).

Research has established that low-methane feed additives could effectively stop up to...

Harnessing The Sun: Solar Cells

Harnessing The Sun: Solar Cells

Currently, solar cells rely on crystalline silicon and have an efficiency on the order of 20 percent

Perovskite crystal structures, which have a theoretical efficiency of up to 40 percent, could be a better alternative

They present challenges, however, because they lack long-term stab...

Global Warming: Cement

Global Warming: Cement

During calcination in the kiln for making clinker, a powder used to make cement, CO2 is released from raw materials.

Alternative cement-binding materials (or "clinkers") can eliminate these emissions, but there's currently no mature alternative clinker that can significantly reduce emission...
