Stanford Scientists Determine Energy Needed for Storage of Solar and Wind Power on Grid

Renewable energy holds the promise of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. But there are times when solar and wind farms generate more electricity than is needed by consumers. Storing that surplus energy in batteries for later use seems like an obvious solution, but a new study from Stanford University suggests that might not always be the case.

NPL Researchers Enhance Ocean Color Measurement Techniques Required for Ocean Health Monitoring

The Centre for Carbon Measurement at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is working to improve ocean colour measurements vital for modelling climate and monitoring the health of the oceans. Colour differences (change in spectral reflectance of sunlight) in the oceans can provide a measure of phytoplankton and algae blooms - important as their chlorophyll serves as a natural sink of CO2 and also sometimes pollution.
