Korea’s clean energy shift: Drivers, obstacles, and outcomes

Written by
Dr Elizabeth Thurbon and collaborators highlights the various initiatives that Korea has implemented which means that it is now a leading example of green technologies and development in green industry, as well as highlighting the current obstacles and impetus regarding this change to low-carbon technologies

In the wake of the UN’s COP 26 Climate Change Conference, the devastating economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the global energy crisis, governments of varying political persuasions are hoping for a green-led economic recovery – investment in renewable and clean technologies to both create jobs and address climate change. For a case study they should consider South Korea. […]

High entropy to power a high energy world

Written by
A home energy storage system based on a lithium ion battery pack.

Scientists are continuously searching for new materials whose properties may solve the toughest challenges of our heavily technological society. To tackle the need for longer-lasting energy storage, for example, Dr Ben Breitung, Dr Torsten Brezesinski and their teams at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are developing high-entropy materials by diversifying the composition of crystal structures. The properties of these […]
