The Detechtor Podcast - Solar Glass, Generating Energy in Cities
play

02/09/21 • 6 min

Solar Panels have been around for a while, allowing us to use sunlight as a source of energy. The issue with solar panels is that they need sufficient space on rooftops or on the ground to produce enough energy for them to be worth it, space that is limited in big cities. In recent years, companies have been working on a solution to this problem: Solar Glass (often referred to as "Solar Windows"), which can turn windows into power-generating panels...

With the climate crisis continuously getting worse, businesses and governments need to find solutions to reduce the amount of carbon going into the atmosphere. To beat the crisis, the world can't simply rely on renewable energy, governments will need to include carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) into the mix if they want to hit their climate targets. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), CCUS could reduce carbon emissions by almost a fifth, but can this technology deliver on its promises or is it too good to be true?

The Detechtor Podcast - Bioenergy Facade That Produces Micro-algae and Heat
play

03/09/21 • 5 min

Strategic Science Consult has developed a bioenergy facade that leverages sunlight to produce heat and micro-algae biomass. With the number of people living in cities rising, space is becoming increasingly scarce, so utilising building facades could be one of the best ways to produce energy, whether it be thermal or electric (like solar glass). In this episode, I’ll discuss how this technology work, what it’s benefits are, and where it’s currently in place.
