Around 80% of the volume of international trade in goods is carried by sea, and the percentage is even higher for most developing countries. The cargo ships that transport these goods are a massive source of pollution, and we have seenย some interesting ideas to reduce their emissions, such asย massive sailsย andย hydrogen powertrains. Now, a Netherlands-based company, Zero Emission Services (ZES), has put the Alphenaar, the first Dutch inland ship, into operation that uses interchangeable energy containers as batteries. Zero Emission Services (ZES) has started operations on 6 September 2021 with the Alphenaar, the first Dutch inland vessel to use interchangeable energy...

ย Converting seawater into safe drinking water at a large scale takes an enormous amount of energy, which makes it a costly and polluting process. Now, a Dutch-based blended finance manager Climate Fund Managers (CFM), and Solar Water Solutions are working together to develop the installation of up to 200ย desalinationย units in Kitui County, Kenya. The project eventually aims to provide clean water made of brackish groundwater for 400,000 Kenyans by 2023. The new solar-powered desalination system works without connecting to a grid, without any batteries or chemicals, ever. This means the system will need zero battery investments, zero running costs,...

Singapore unveiled one of the world's largest floating solar panel farms, spanning an area equivalent to 45 football fields and producing enough electricity to power the island's five water treatment plants. ย In order to help reduce emissions, Singapore has unveiled one of the world's largest floating solar panel farms. This project is part of a goal to quadruple solar energy production by 2025 and make its water system entirely powered by renewable energy. Some experts believe that the solar farm's reduction of carbon emissions could be equivalent to taking 7,000 cars off the road. PUB, Singapore's national water agency,...

New researchย from Harvard University, in collaboration with the University of Birmingham, the University of Leicester and University College London, found that more than 8 million people died in 2018 from fossil fuel pollution, significantly higher than previous research suggestedโmeaning that air pollution from burning fossil fuels like coal and diesel was responsible for about 1 in 5 deaths worldwide. The study, โGlobal Mortality From Outdoor Fine Particle Pollution Generated by Fossil Fuel Combustion,โย published inย Environmental Research, is based on a groundbreaking analysis that enabled the researchers to directly attribute premature deaths from fine particulate pollution (PM 2.5) to fossil fuel combustion....
