An update to the Energy Zones Mapping Tool, the Geospatial Energy Mapper is an online tool with an extensive catalog of mapping data for energy planning. It can help identify areas that are suitable for clean energy infrastructure projects.
After extensive analyses, Empa researchers found the cause of the concrete scandal in County Donegal, Ireland, where structural damage has been causing red faces and protests for years: Concrete walls of thousands of houses are riddled with cracks, necessitating expensive repairs or even demolition.
Improving urban spaces by making them safer from crime and traffic and improving perceptions of neighborhood walkability can help with depression.
An ICTA-UAB project establishes the direct relationship between green spaces and green gentrification processes in 28 cities in North America and Europe.
An almost limitless supply of fresh water exists in the form of water vapor above Earth’s oceans, yet remains untapped, researchers said.
Only 3% of the research staff at Argonne National Laboratory are named Argonne Distinguished Fellows. The 2022 honorees are Amgad Elgowainy, Zein-Eddine Meziani and Rajeev Thakur.
University of Pittsburgh, Wexford Science & Technology partner to breathe new life of environmental sustainability into 100-year-old-plus Ford plant.
University of Oklahoma assistant professor OU engineer Jie Cai and a team of researchers were awarded funding to study thermal energy storage in commercial and residential buildings to promote renewable energy utilization.
One natural disaster can knock out electric service to millions. A new study suggests that back-to-back disasters could cause catastrophic damage, but the research also identifies new ways to monitor and maintain power grids.
Argonne publishes new report assessing the potential for recovering resources including energy and nutrients from U.S. wastewater facilities.
A sustainable energy supply requires the expansion of power grids. However, new transmission lines can also lead to grids becoming more unstable rather than more stable, as would be expected. This phenomenon is referred to as the Braess paradox. For the first time, an international team, including researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), has now simulated this phenomenon in detail for power grids, demonstrated it on a larger scale, and developed a prediction tool, which is to support grid operators in decision-making. The researchers report in the journal Nature Communications. (DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-32917-6)
Economists from HSE University and the Vienna University of Economics and Business have figured out why, all else equal, trading goods across borders can be more expensive than trading the same goods within state borders.
In a report released today, UC Berkeley researchers analyze the impact of a hidden electricity "tax” on Californians. They recommend two significant policy reforms to ease the burden on low-income households and spur consumer interest in the adoption of electric vehicles, heat pumps, and other electric technology.
Despite severe drought, a new report shows that hydropower remains a strong and steadfast contributor of renewable energy in the West.
As the world gets warmer, the use of power-hungry air conditioning systems is projected to increase significantly, putting a strain on existing power grids and bypassing many locations with little or no reliable electric power.
Packetized Energy and Argonne partnered to advance a software platform that can aggregate millions of power devices, like solar panels and batteries, and uses them to deliver a wide range of grid services, including reducing peak loads, supporting grid stability, responding to extreme blackout events.
