Inspiring Boreal, Beautiful, Sustainable Solutions

Towards sustainable living, as standard

The shape, not size, of our economies count. Circular economies effectively don’t waste. How can we measure how circular our economies are?
Reducing carbon dioxide
How much CO2 can we produce?
Can trees offset it? How much do they remove? Which trees or other plants are best? Do we overvalue forestation?
We want renewables because we don’t want pollution and unsustainable living. But think of the positives we could enjoy, e.g. health, community, democracy.

Rapid renewable energy progress

> Innovation

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are ever more efficient, e.g. through “bifacial” configuration, anti-reflection and water coatings, nanofluids, output prediction, other AI applications, greener production, ways to stay cool, and alternatives to silicon, and its base, and other photocatalysts. It can be flexible and better ways to recycle the silicon are in development. Solar can directly produce hydrogen and pure water as a by-product.
Wind power is also becoming more efficient, and circular. AI can help predict wind power, optimise layout and cost-competitive hydrogen production, identify erosion, faults with blades and floating offshore windfarms. We can estimate how they will fail with statistical analysis, and the best positions with the Grey Wolf Optimiser. Wind turbine blades can now be recycled too.
Green, blue and grey hydrogen have great potential to store and transport clean energy to balance supply for Europe to green industry and even heat homes. Research is improving its production, supply, and storage. AI can optimise hydrogen production from the sugar industry’s wastewater.
Hydroelectric Power offers a versatile battery for renewable power. It can be improved with Machine Learning. safe for fish, and other species, and with vertical axes and even using flood- and wastewater.
Biogas can generate electricity or supply a nation’s gas. It can be created with the help of levulinates. Agricultural and food waste can also be used, while making compost, and making farms more profitable.
Batteries can be made with Sodium or Zinc, as these are more plentiful than Lithium. Energy systems last longer by smart management of battery health and demand, and flow between storage and use.
Joined-up CHHP warms homes with heat and even hydrogen from electricity generation.
Sand and other heat storage, made smart, including CaCO₃/CaO as a heat pump.
AI supports the full range of renewable energy production, as well as recycling and chatbots.
