"Although the principles of international climate diplomacy suggest that poorer countries, being less responsible for climate change, have less duty to go green, many face strong economic incentives to do so anyway."

How the coupling of green finance and green technology innovation affect synergistic effect of pollution and emission carbon reduction: evidence from China
Amid China's dual-carbon transition, the synergistic alignment of green finance with green-technology innovation is pivotal for co-controlling pollution and CO2 emissions. Using panel data for 266 Chinese prefecture-level cities over 2007-2023, We construct the coupling coordination index system of green finance and green technology innovation via a coupling-coordination model and systematically analyzes influencing mechanism of synergistic effect of pollution and carbon reduction. Four finding…

"Weakening net zero policy 'will spook investors' warns UK's climate adviser"

Checking on the Ceres FPGA board sims for @… that I had running while I was away. We're looking at a PCIe differential pair layer transition plus AC coupling capacitor.
With no cutout (green trace) response is awful: -3 dB insertion loss at 9.1 GHz, and -10 dB return loss at only 2.8 GHz.
Adding the cutout in the gerbers (blue trace) ma…

The greenwashing of fracked gas is getting in the way of winning important climate policies that would help us transition to a green economy. But we can make a big difference by exposing corporate lies.
If we can dispel the myth that gas is safe and clean, then we can get it out of our homes.

Experts urge rethink on renewable energy and its environmental impact
Renewable energy has become a key part of the global energy transition, presenting itself as the clean alternative to fossil fuels. But green or renewable does not mean zero impact. Let's take a look at the fine print.

In-situ characterisation and data-driven crystal plasticity analysis of short-to-long crack transition in a ductile aluminium alloy
Crack arrest in ductile alloys plays a critical role in damage-tolerant design for aerospace and structural applications, yet the transition from microstructure-sensitive short cracks to load-controlled long cracks remains poorly understood. Here, we present an in-situ, high-resolution experimental study of crack propagation in cold-worked 5052 aluminium alloy using scanning electron microscopy digital image correlation (SEM-DIC), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and novel data-driven c…

Technology innovation in evolutionary green transition: environmental quality and economic sustainability
We propose an evolutionary model to study the transition toward green technology under the influence of innovation. Clean and dirty technologies are selected according to their profitability under an environmental tax, which depends on the overall pollution level. Pollution itself evolves dynamically: it results from the emissions of the two types of producers, naturally decays, and is reduced through the implementation of the current abatement technology. The regulator collects tax revenues an…

It is fascinating to see how Poland 🇵🇱, once an unlikely leader in the energy transition, is increasingly giving the green light to smart use of renewable energy.
Dynamic energy contracts make smart energy use attractive to consumers. Supportive optional network tariffs offer an additional boost.

What makes developments in Poland 🇵🇱 around dynamic tariffs interesting for other European countries to consider is the innovation that has also been set in motion in distribution network tariffs. Today marks exactly one year since dynamic energy tariffs became available from all major energy suppliers in Poland. This obligation stems from the EU Electricity Directive 2019, which gives consumers throughout the European Union the right to choose such a tariff (and also applies to other Eu…

Interactions in Rare Earth Doped Nanoparticles: A Multi-Transition, Concentration, and Excitation Path Analysis
Understanding and modeling energy transfer mechanisms in rare-earth-doped nanomaterials is essential for advancing luminescent technologies used in bioimaging, optical thermometry, and solid-state lasers. In this work, we investigate the photoluminescence dynamics of Yb3+ and Er3+ ions in Y2O3 nanoparticles over a wide concentration range (0.5-17%), using both direct and upconversion excitation. Luminescence decays of green, red, and near-infrared transitions were measured and analyzed using a …

A rounding off in favour of the EU automotive industry's whingeing plea – it's at 17% so far this year. If you round it up (to 20%), however, the targets have already been met.

Wind farms important to achieving net zero, says researcher
Few energy technologies divide public opinion quite like wind turbines. To some, they are elegant icons of the green transition, while others proclaim them to be monstrous eyesores that ruin the landscape. Whether you love them or hate them, one thing is clear: if the UK is to meet its net zero target by 2050, then wind power will have to play a dominant role in getting us there. Policy makers have signaled their commitment, having recently approved one of the largest wind farms in the world to…
