Sector Research: Ocean Energy

14 October 2020 admin 0

Introduction Oceans cover 70% of the earth's surface which points out to the huge potential of Ocean Energy. Driven by earth's rotation and interaction with the sun and moon, this immense mass of water is constantly on the move. This motion, together with the thermal and chemical properties of seawater, provide a vast and almost entirely untapped source of renewable energy. In this report, we provide a brief introduction to the entertaining topic of capturing energy from the oceans as well as related statistics. In fact, estimates suggest this could cover the entire global electricity demand. Click here to read the full [...]

Click here to read the full report: Tyre Recycling Report Introduction: End-of-life tyres, henceforth ELTs, are a significant waste problem. Billions ELTs are generated worldwide each year, with billions more currently stockpiled. ELTs have a complex construction which means they do not naturally decompose. It is also not easy to recycle ELTs. In the first part of this report, we examine what is currently done with ELTs. Typically, they are combusted to reclaim their energy content. That's to say, physically broken up for reuse in rubber products, or dumped in landfill. In the second part, we look at how how to deal with ELTs [...]
