Coral reefs are a natural ecosystem that depend on a wide range of nutrients and water conditions to survive. But climate change is changing these environments in a way that can be devastating for our oceans and coastal communities. Increasing sea levels and ocean acidification can lead to increased sedimentation, which can smother coral. Ocean […]

The radiant heat and light from the Sun is a renewable resource that can be harnessed through a variety of technologies. This energy can be used for everything from power generation to architecture. Solar panels harness this energy for a number of purposes. If you’re interested in learning more about the various applications of solar […]
Ammonia is a fuel that can be easily stored and transported. It can also be distributed using existing technologies and networks. Ammonia’s advantages over hydrogen include its lower cost and easy distribution. Furthermore, ammonia is a cleaner and safer alternative to other fossil fuels. Production Ammonia is an important chemical for our everyday lives, but […]
The melting of glaciers has caused sea levels to rise. This is a cause for concern because it is impacting marine life. This is especially true for coral reefs which depend on sunlight for photosynthesis. As sea levels rise, less light will reach these creatures. This will threaten their existence. But how can we prevent […]
One of the first questions that many people have is, “Are semiconductors necessary for electric cars?” The answer to this question depends on the market and the demand for the cars. For now, the electric vehicle market is niche, low volume and supply constrained. However, this situation is only temporary. It will eventually become a […]
While the climate is a complicated issue, we can still do our part to prevent the effects of climate change. It is vital to make sure that we reduce our consumption and adopt better lifestyle choices. The impact of technology, fashion and lifestyle choices can all affect the climate. For example, we often use more […]
Carbon dioxide is one of the major greenhouse gases. It is produced naturally by animals and plants. When plants do not have enough oxygen, they exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. However, if too much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it can be dangerous. If the carbon dioxide concentration becomes high enough, it can […]
Investors are starting to divest from fossil fuels, citing ethical and business reasons. A cap has been set on global greenhouse gas emissions, known as the carbon budget, with the aim of limiting global warming to 2 degC by the end of this century. But how can these changes impact companies and consumers? In this […]
