An analysis of the cost, benefits and potential disadvantages of strenuous requirements for "green" hydrogen production in the EU and US.
This piece demonstrates the extent to which switching to clean electricity can create co-benefits for climate and human health. Right timing given Trump's love of coal.

This chapter aligns with SDGs 7, 11, and 10, by offering a case study on renewable energy and rural electrification in Ecuador, in the context of socioeconomic challenges and climate change, whilst also drawing on other examples from developing countries elsewhere.

This article presents a heat-pump-coupled sorbent system to simultaneously harvest water from air and regulate indoor environments, addressing global challenges related to water scarcity and energy-efficient air conditioning.
The article provides an overview of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based composite adsorbents for atmospheric water harvesting, discussing the hydrolytic stability of MOFs, recent advances in sorption-based water harvesting devices, and the challenges and prospects of MOF-based composite adsorbents. Key points include compositing MOFs with other functional materials to address limitations in water adsorption capacity and energy-intensive regeneration, and the factors affecting the hydrolytic stability of MOFs.
