The dilemma of nuclear energy
One of the greatest advantages of nuclear energy — which accounts for approximately 10% of global electricity production — is that it does not directly release CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere. Even when analyzing its life cycle, considering emissions linked to uranium extraction or the concrete used in plants, it produces very few greenhouse […]
Is Bitcoin mining with renewable energy enough?
Cryptocurrency mining, essentially the Bitcoin industry, consumes more electricity annually than countries like Switzerland, Argentina, or Finland. This is according to a recent analysis conducted by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) and reported by the BBC. The cryptocurrency mining process consumes a lot of electricity. The machines and servers responsible for mining or […]
Discover the possibilities offered by blue energy
For centuries, the idea of harnessing freshwater from rivers before it reaches the sea has been prevalent. Even today, despite our greater environmental awareness, we understand that there is no waste, as everything has its purpose in conserving natural cycles, maintaining environmental balance, and preserving ecosystems. Blue energy represents a milestone in humanity’s long-standing […]
Carbon capture and storage technologies
The CO2 problem remains one of the main environmental challenges to address in order to ensure the planet’s sustainability. For years, the focus has been on reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to an energy generation model based on renewables and other non-polluting sources. However, despite the growing relevance of clean energy in the […]
5 Uncommon Clean Energy Sources That Have Not Been Exploited
International organizations such as the IEA (International Energy Agency) and the oil industry BP estimate that by 2040, global energy demand will increase by 35% to 40%. Most of this consumption will come from developed countries. It is also expected that around 37% of electricity generation will come from renewable sources, particularly wind and solar. […]
