Despite its low environmental impact, this energy source is most likely to provoke public opposition due to perceptions of catastrophic risk.
What is nuclear energy?
This modern electrical grid uses digital communication technology to detect and react to local changes in electricity usage.
What is a smart grid?
This emerging technology is specifically designed to maximize energy density while ensuring rapid recharging times for energy storage.
What are hybrid solid-state batteries?
This type of battery is commonly used in electric vehicles due to its high energy density and ability to recharge quickly.
What is a lithium-ion battery?
This phenomenon occurs when a household installs energy-efficient appliances but sees no change in electricity bills due to increased usage.
What is the rebound effect?
This is the process by which countries transition from fossil fuel-based energy systems to cleaner, low-carbon alternatives, often driven by climate change mitigation policies.
What is energy decarbonization?
This type of infrastructure investment is most essential for a city aiming to replace petrol-powered vehicle fleets with electric vehicles within a decade.
What is building an extensive network of fast-charging stations?
This type of next-generation nuclear reactor uses liquid metal as a coolant, enabling higher operating temperatures and more efficient electricity generation.
What is a fast breeder reactor?
For a country that relies heavily on coal but wants to reduce its carbon footprint, this energy source is the most logical first step to reduce both feasibility and environmental impact.
What is offshore wind energy?
This mathematical tool is used in the optimization of power grids to ensure that power is distributed efficiently across generation, transmission, and distribution systems.
What is Optimal Power Flow (OPF)?
