Innovation was in abundance across the month of May , with pioneering breakthroughs in CCS , solar energy storage and emissions reductions to name a few
CCS TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTIONISED THANKS TO AI
Traditionally , the process of simulating the feasibility and effectiveness of CCS has been a laborious task , often requiring up to three months of research and analysis . But , thanks to AI and researchers from Heriot-Watt University , a significant breakthrough has whittled that time down to a mere 24 hours .
IS VOLCANIC ASH AN ANSWER TO EFFICIENT SOLAR ENERGY STORAGE ?
Typically seen as a disruptive force , volcanic ash is now hailed by University of Barcelona researchers as a valuable energy storage medium . The institution ’ s bright minds say volcanic ash has a rare combination of useful properties which can revolutionise efficient solar energy storage .
RADAR PREVENTS OFFSHORE WIND FARM BIRD AND BAT CRASHES
Netherlands technology leader Robin Radar Systems has pioneered a floating radar that prevents birds and bats from colliding with the turbine blades of offshore wind farms . This is revolutionising the maintenance and environmental consciousness of these facilities in the North Sea and beyond .
