Steel’s Declining Demand Sharpens Focus On Molten Oxide Electrolysis

8 min read

In my recent reassessment of global steel demand trajectories, particularly in light of declining cement consumption driven by a slowing Chinese construction sector, I’m revisiting several zero-carbon steel production pathways. One that stands out for its unique electrochemical elegance and considerable engineering complexity is molten oxide electrolysis (MOE). It’s an … [continued]

How Michigan is trying to stop the box tree moth

3 min read

Michigan boxwood trees are in danger this season because of the invasive box tree moth, which can completely defoliate a plant in just a few weeks. The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has issued a quarantine for 13 districts in southeast Michigan to try to prevent the moths from spreading. To reduce the spread of the moths, people should dispose of the plants safely by double-bagging infested plants and bringing them to municipal waste sites.

Berlin on Verge of Creating Gigantic Car-Free Zone

4 min read

We love electric vehicles here on CleanTechnica because they are cleantech that cut emissions from the transportation sector — to a tremendous degree. They are also cool tech and fun. However, there’s something they don’t beat — human-powered transport. Biking and walking are much preferred for transportation needs. Unfortunately, most … [continued]
