While solar energy is becoming increasingly available and widely used as a clean source of electricity generation, its supply can be intermittent and unreliable. This inconsistency poses challenges to the efficiency and reliability of the power and energy grids.
The battle against climate change and its impending consequences could not be fiercer. Little wonder why the urgent call and campaigns to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately solar and wind as two of the renewable energy sources are growing by the hour. But the world can at least brace itself with some of the…
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, there is an ongoing debate about whether engineers can use it responsibly. Some experts believe that AI presents a danger to society. Others argue that it can be used safely if handled correctly. So, who is right? And what does this mean for the future? Can engineers be…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most transformative technologies of our time. Its potential to solve the world’s most pressing problems is why AI has become a central focus for sustainable engineering. We will now explore how AI is being used in sustainable engineering. We will also give consider some of the ethical concerns…
As the effects of climate change become increasingly visible, both environmentally and psychologically, there has been a recent rise in climate anxiety (eco-anxiety of eco-grief). This is an ecological version of anxiety disorder stemming from being confronted with the long-term impacts of global warming. This experience is becoming all too common among individuals living in…
It’s no secret that the climate crisis has reached a tipping point and urgently needs to be addressed. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) forecasts a potential global average temperature increase by 1.5 to 4.5 °C (2.7 to 8.1 °F) by the end of the 21st century. This trend will continue if nothing is…
