Eco Innovation

Crystalline silicon solar cells dominate the global photovoltaic market with module efficiencies of around 20-22%. However, the field of solar energy is wanting for innovative materials and approaches that yield even higher efficiencies in support of global renewable energy goals.

Vianode, a Norwegian producer of advanced battery materials with a greener footprint, has assumed formal ownership of the building which will house the company’s first industrial-scale plant at Herøya, Norway.

 RS Group says its DesignSpark Environmental Sensor Development Kit (ESDK) has been certified by the Open-Source Hardware Association (OSHWA).

By 2040, all new heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) sold in the UK must be zero-emission.

ABT e-Line has developed solar modules for the roof of the ID. Buzz. Due to the limited roof area and the complex shapes of the solar modules, the effort required for this was previously too high and too cost-intensive. The ID. Buzz, especially the one with a long wheelbase, offers the best conditions for this.

Arrow Electronics will exhibit at PCIM Europe with a 105m2 booth alongside the company’s presence in the Sensor + Test show, which is co-located with PCIM.

Horizon Aircraft, an innovator in hybrid electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) aerial vehicles, has announced that it has successfully completed initial transition flight testing of its ‘Cavorite X5’ 50% scale eVTOL prototype in the world class ACE Climatic Wind Tunnel.

Pickering Interfaces, the specialist provider of modular signal switching and simulation products for electronic test and verification, will showcase its Battery Management System (BMS) test demo in Hall 2 at Battery Tech Expo 2023 at The Silverstone Wing International Conference & Exhibition Centre at Silverstone Circuit, UK on 20th April 2023.

As the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market continues to flourish, and impending fossil fuel bans creep closer and closer, it’s crucial for manufacturers at every stage of the chain consider how best to ensure the correct functioning of their components.

If nuclear waste were recycled and repurposed as fuel for advanced nuclear reactors, it could generate up to a millennia of zero carbon electricity for Europe, says a new report released by the international environmental campaign group RePlanet.
