Following on from the Contamination & Geotech Expo, AZoCleantech speaks with Barnaby Hayward from P&D Marine Services about his involvement in the clean technology sector and the company’s innovative water management solution - the Jellyfishbot.
Marine pollution includes chemicals and garbage. Most pollutants are dumped or blown into the ocean from land-based sources, harming the ecology and well-being of every organism and global economic institution.

Green hydrogen is expected to play a significant role in the global transition toward clean energy, but its environment-friendly production requires enormous quantities of fresh water. However, scientists have devised a novel method for synthesizing green hydrogen fuel from thin air, even in the driest conditions.
The tipping point in the Earth's system is a threshold that, if surpassed, can result in significant changes to the climate system. While the precise thresholds of climate change that will set off tipping points remain unknown, the likelihood of crossing these points increases with an rise in global temperatures.

A Harvard startup has designed a novel multi-layered solid-state electric vehicle battery that completely recharges in three minutes and lasts over twice as long as current electric vehicle batteries. Estimates suggest that the global transition toward electric vehicles would reduce carbon emissions by 16%, and this new battery design would be crucial to attaining this objective.
Fog is an overlooked source of fresh water. Harvesting fog water requires a low maintenance system, low cost, and a passive way of attaining clean drinking water in areas with higher fog concentrations. Fog water in regions where fog is common can also be used for reforestation and irrigation.

Researchers in Taiwan have conducted a study delivering promising results that could open doors to a circular economy for waste batteries.
Research suggests that 80% of the world’s population lives under ‘skyglow’, and it is becoming increasingly rare to view a natural night sky unhindered by light pollution. This article will look at light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and their consequences on the environment and animal health.
