Điện than có thể không ô nhiễm như bạn nghĩ

December 15, 2016

Với công nghệ mới, lượng phát thải CO2 của các nhà máy điện than có thể giảm ít nhất 2 tỉ tấn mỗi năm.

Công nghệ mới này tập trung vào việc nâng cao hiệu suất sử dụng của nguồn nhiệt lượng có được nhờ đốt than. Theo tính toán, tăng 1% hiệu suất của các nhà máy điện than đồng nghĩa với giảm 2% lượng CO2 các nhà máy này xả ra môi trường.

3D printing has quickly evolved from a cool way to make plastic gizmos to an increasingly mainstream method of printing machine parts from the toughest metals. In fact, you can already hitch a ride on a next-generation Airbus passenger jet that uses engines with 3D-printed fuel nozzles inside. Since last September, 3D-printed technology has helped run a large power plant near the capital of Germany, Berlin.

Here’s Why Connecting Niagara To The Internet Is A Really Good Idea

October 06, 2016
The 1953 movie “Niagara” starred Marilyn Monroe as a honeymooner with a wandering eye taking a trip to Niagara Falls. But she was hardly the only one seduced by the power of the water flowing through the Niagara River, which straddles the border between the U.S. and Canada in northwestern New York. Just a few years later, engineers built one of America’s largest hydropower plants a short drive below the falls.

September 26, 2016
The massive gas-fired Futtsu Power Station, which forms a small peninsula in Tokyo Bay, is capable of generating 5,040 megawatts of electricity for millions of Japanese homes and businesses. Made up of four combined cycle blocks, the plant is already the most efficient of the 15 power stations operated by TEPCO Fuel & Power, the utility servicing the area around Japanese capital. But in the interest of “kaizen"—the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement—TEPCO believes it can perform even better.

September 22, 2016
From Jakarta’s glittering glass towers—which seem to grow as fast as rattan—to remote fishing villages with no plumbing and electricity, Indonesia is a country of contrasts. Spread across some 18,000 islands—only half of which have been named—its megacities and lush green forests are home to some 255 million people, making it the fourth most populous country in the world after India, China and the United States. The government is now trying to make sure the vast majority of them can turn the lights on at night.
