Solar energy is available in abundance. The non-renewable sources of energy will deplete one day or the other if not utilized cautiously. With solar energy and its abundant availability, the challenge is to store it and utilize in the future.
Chalmers study: ban on sales of fossil-fuel cars greatly reduces lifecycle GHG mainly due to tailpipe emissions; risk of carbon leakage in manufacturing
2 emissions, according to a new lifecycle study by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.
However, the full effect of a ban is delayed due to fleet inertia. Further, risks of carbon leakage over the full vehicle lifecycle may need to be addressed by extending current regulations of vehicle-specific tailpipe emissions to also cover carbon footprints for new cars, the researchers said.

The researchers considered emissions from the entire lifecycle from the manufacture of electric cars and batteries, to electricity used for operation. The total effect of a phasing out of fossil-fueled cars will not be felt until the middle of the century and how the batteries are manufactured will affect the extent of the benefit.
Snøhetta has announced details of their partnership with Norwegian startup Saferock to develop net-zero concrete for the future of construction. To develop the product, the team has looked to exploit the vase residues and waste streams created by the world’s industrial processes. The result.
