The steam then drives a turbine-generator to generate electricity in geothermal plants. In some places this heat is used directly to heat homes and greenhouses, or to provide process heat for businesses or industries. Reykjavik, Iceland, is heated by geothermal energy. Most geothermal resources ...
The direct co-conversion of CH4and CO2into valuable chemicals has been a longstanding scientific pursuit. Here, the authors present a photo-driven process that reforms these greenhouse gases together to generate CH3OH and CO over AuPd/GaN. ...
It's becoming more and more difficult to understand if this is simply electric vehicle hype or if we are witnessing an EV Revolution that is a clear and distinct paradigm shift, marking move away from gasoline powered vehicles to those powered by electricity. It's helpful at this point to p...
Jilin, which is rich in renewable energy resources, produces hydrogen using clean electricity generated by wind and photovoltaic power. The province aims to become a national-level renewable hydrogen supply base by the end of 2025. Liu Lei, a coach driver in Baicheng City, has seen firsthand ...
Also abundant in water resources, Qinghai has started building pumped-storage power stations, which use off-peak electricity to pump water to higher locations, where it is stored and then released to generate electricity when the power supply is strained. In August 2023, construction of the Warang...

Unfortunately, the volatility of the energy market and the rise in price of wholesale gas has had a knock-on effect for the price of electricity. This is because the main method of electricity generation is gas-fired, so when it costs more to use the gas, it costs more to generate the...
Electricity is generated from different energy sources, such as fossil fuels, hydroelectricity, and solar energy, among others. What are energy resources? An energy resource is anything that can generate heat, make objects move, and produce electricity. Any material that releases energy through ...
"Phantom energy," also known as "standby energy" or "vampire energy," is the electricity used by electronics when turned off or in standby mode. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), standby energy accounts for 5 to 10 percent of residential energy use and costs the average...
