Asian countries have predominantly relied on coal and natural gas to meet their electricity demands, but the landscape is rapidly evolving. Many Asian countries have committed to ambitious net-zero and decarbonisation goals. Indeed, there has been significant growth over the last few years in developing "traditional" renewable energy projects such as onshore wind, offshore wind, solar, and hybrid wind-and-solar.

Most of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, which are teeming with a wide variety of life. Interestingly, these vast bodies of water also contain a dilute distribution of uranium ions. Extracting these ions could potentially offer a renewable source of fuel for nuclear power generation. A recent study in ACS Central Science introduces a new material designed for electrochemical extraction.

Saudi Arabia's pledge of reducing its crude output by 1 million bpd in July, has so far been nothing short of a fiasco. Saudi Arabia set the trend earlier this month by hiking OSPs to Asia. Declining refinery margins prompted Asian refiners to cut runs in May and June, lowering demand for oil. One of the most drastic production cuts of the past years, Saudi Arabia's pledge of reducing its crude output by 1 million b/d in July, has so far been nothing short of a fiasco.

Rather than being solely detrimental, cracks in the positive electrode of lithium-ion batteries reduce battery charge time, research done at the University of Michigan shows. This runs counter to the view of many electric vehicle manufacturers, who try to minimize cracking because it decreases battery longevity.
