Materials, critical materials and clean-energy technologies
— Modern engineered materials, components and systems depend on raw materials whose properties provide essential functionality to these technologies. Some of these raw materials are subject to supply-chain risks, and such materials are known as critical materials. This paper reviews corporate, national and world perspectives on material criticality. It then narrows its focus to studies that ass...
متن کاملMesoporous materials for clean energy technologies.
Alternative energy technologies are greatly hindered by significant limitations in materials science. From low activity to poor stability, and from mineral scarcity to high cost, the current materials are not able to cope with the significant challenges of clean energy technologies. However, recent advances in the preparation of nanomaterials, porous solids, and nanostructured solids are provid...
متن کاملInexpensive, Clean, Reliable Energy Will Require Engineered Systems
While small emission reductions are easy, large reductions will demand engineered systems. Classical System Engineering (SE) development begins with ultimate goals such as big (>90%) reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The first SE phase, concept development, consists of system tradeoffs to clarify feasible concepts and focus development efforts. These system studies begin with simple conce...
متن کاملE-Waste Management & Clean Technologies
Management of e-waste is becoming a challengeable issue in today’s world. The increase of waste and the need for saving the environment are two global debates in the world. These managerial problems come as a result of technological advancements and globalization as global forces toward complexity. These global forces made e-waste management become a world’s priority issue followed by cleaning ...
متن کاملA global clean cooking fuel initiative
This article calls for engaging the public and private sectors of developing and industrialized countries in a global clean cooking fuel initiative (GCCFI) to bring about a worldwide shift to clean fluid fuels for cooking and heating in 10-15 years’ time -with an emphasis on providing clean fuel to the poorest households. This initiative is crucial to implementation of the Millennium Developmen...
