Researchers at the Fraunhofer ISE have calculated that silicon photovoltaic modules manufactured in the EU produce 40 per cent less CO2 emissions than modules manufactured in China. See here why that…
Deep sea mining firms claim their rare metals are necessary to power clean tech – but with even major electric car firms now backing a moratorium, critics say there is an alternative.
As demand for chips surges, the semicondutor industry is trying to grapple with its huge carbon foot print.
The semiconductor industry has a problem. Demand is booming for silicon chips, which are…
Offshore energy boom in China will grow world’s windfarm capacity by more than 12GW in 2021.
