Sweden's been stealthily using hydrogen to forge green steel. Now it's ready to industrialise

HYBRIT project in Sweden explores hydrogen-based steel production, significantly reducing carbon emissions in the steel industry.

Open Compute Project seeks green datacenter concrete wisdom

The OCP aims to test low-carbon concrete as a solution to reduce emissions in data centers.

Agreements Lead to Less Telecom Energy Consumption, Consumer Savings: Report

The telecom industry has made remarkable energy consumption reductions due to voluntary agreements, significantly impacting both savings and environmental sustainability.

Heat from sewers, tube and Thames could soon warm London buildings

The project aims to heat 1,000 London buildings with decarbonised heat, significantly cutting CO2 emissions and enhancing energy security.

Heat from tube tunnels could warm city offices in 1 billion network

The London Underground's heat will be harnessed to create a £1 billion heat network for central London, promoting energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.

NNormal Shares a Look at the Durability of Its Kjerag Trail Running Shoe

The brand NNormal values sustainability and has conducted an internal study on the lifespan of its shoes.
The company believes that consuming fewer shoes has a greater impact on reducing CO2 emissions than focusing on the individual shoe's CO2 consumption.
