Tremendous amounts of hydrogen and methane can be stored in nanoscopic pores.

Resilience in pandemic situations needs alternatives to public transportation and shared moblity The present Corona pandemic has clearly revealed a shortcoming of public transportation and most shared mobility solutions: they come with poor possibilities for social distancing.

With the growing population of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs), the charging infrastructure industry is also progressing quickly to meet the ever-increasing demand for recharging the EV batteries.

Sharing the Green Deal vision of sustainable transport and a carbon neutral Europe by 2050, two leading companies in the commercial vehicle industry, Daimler Truck AG and the Volvo Group, have signed a preliminary non-binding agreement to establish a new joint venture.

While the eyes of the world are on the novel coronavirus, East Africa continues to struggle with another crisis of biblical proportions: growing swarms of ravenous locusts. Both crises are extraordinary in scale, and both foes multiply so quickly that governments are struggling to contain them.

The pan-European arrangement will see SNAM collect and recycle batteries from Honda's increasing number of hybrid and electric vehicles and either potentially prepare them for 'second-life' renewable energy storage uses or extract valuable materials for recycling if they are not suitable for that purpose.

From a commercial point of view, this article appraises the latest research in active materials for supercapacitors SC and their derivatives. Opportunities include; graphene, CNT, MOF, CNF, ionic electrolytes, structural, flexible, wearable.

Electric, digital and connected solutions provide a direction of travel for dry cargo vessels towards greater efficiency and lower emissions using proven technology. In this, it is the ship's electrical propulsion system that acts as the key enabler for the integrated automation and control systems that can deliver transformative operations.

Lithium batteries hold a lot of promise for the future of many applications, including electric vehicles, but tend to be prohibitively expensive. A research team has developed a new electrode material to make lithium batteries not only cheaper, but longer lasting with higher energy density.

The solar modules on the car cover provide supplementary power to the vehicle and increase its range up to an additional 15km per day with a target of 30km per day within 3 years, based on 8 hours' outside exposure of the vehicle per day.

IDTechEx forecasts exponential growth to a huge $350 billion in 2040 for clean microgrids. It will be driven by legislation, cost, increasing problems with national grids and many new applications. Electrifying mines to farms and transport helps too.
