Romanian environmental economist, Dr Monica Ardeleanu, is on a mission to make the world’s housing and living solutions greener, with the help of EU funding and 17 partner organisations from all over…
EU-funded researchers are looking to hot air to overcome the supply and demand issues faced by solar energy…
From solar energy beamed from space to genetic brain maps and live self-repairing bridges, research in 2025…
Researchers are developing textiles that could be used for large-scale seaweed farms off Europe’s coast.
The ability to store electricity using hydrogen could make wind and solar power a secure energy source, freeing Europe from its dependency on imported fossil fuels, according to Bert De Colvenaer,…
Researchers have made a glassful of jet fuel by combining carbon dioxide and water in a reactor powered by concentrated sunlight.
The Nordic Orion became the first cargo ship to take the treacherous Northwest Passage from the Pacific Ocean to Europe last year, and now its Danish operators are planning more trips…
Researchers are working on ways to place radioactive waste some four to eight hundred metres underground and seal it off with specialised plugs. If they succeed, the first permanent disposal…
Automated coal mining equipment is helping cut down on wastage in Europe's coal mines, and make the process cleaner and safer.
Tidal power has significant potential for electricity generation due to the fact that tides are more predictable than wind and solar power.
As the moon spins around the earth, its gravity creates a bulge in the oceans that causes tides. Researchers are working out ways to tap into this immense power, and smart sensors could help them do…
Techniques are being devised to capture greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane from the burning or extracting of fossil fuels - before they cause damage to the atmosphere.
Dr Suchitra Sebastian is looking for materials that are so conductive they do not lose any energy at all, and if she succeeds it would be a step towards reducing the amount of electricity required to…
