Wider introduction of renewable energy is possible also in Finland
The dismantling of obstacles to decentralised energy should continue.
Small Finland is a big player in the circular economy of metals
Finland was chosen to lead the strategic planning for battery recycling in Europe. Two key reasons for this achievement are the high-level research carried out in Finland and the close cooperation within the sector.
Put the brakes on climate change – producing high-grade chemicals from carbon dioxide
A study aiming to use CO2 as, for example, transport fuel have received significant funding from the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation.
Slow cycle
In its present form, the clothing industry is a polluter of water systems and a climate baddy. Materials recycling is not a sufficient answer, the whole system must change instead, says an expert on the circular fashion economy.
New materials for fuel cells
Researchers from Aalto University and Northeastern University (China) have demonstrated a solid oxide fuel cell based on a single-oxide SrTiO2 electrolyte. A high power density of 620 mW per cm2 with hydrogen as fuel was obtained. The electrolyte forms a mixed proton and oxygen ion conductor with a core-shell structure
Solar power seen as expensive without reason – already a viable option for one in three residential buildings
According to researchers, legal reform could spur a majority of properties to become energy producers.
Europe and Finland have the potential to become world leaders in battery recycling
Batteries are needed for energy storage and electric transport – both play a significant role in climate control. In addition, the continuous growth in consumer electronics usage further increases the demand for batteries.
District heating can be produced without fossil fuels in Finland – even in Helsinki
The change is possible through the use of heat pumps, wind power, heat storage and demand response.
New professor of practice to promote circular economy in wastewater treatment
Anna Mikola, DSc (Tech.), has been appointed Professor of Practice at the School of Engineering in the field of municipal wastewater treatment starting 1 November 2018.
Bacterial bandages and recycled fibres: Aalto brings a materials revolution to Slush
New materials play an important role in sustainable development and combatting climate change. New uses for old materials can also be a major industrial opportunity: for example, the value of biomass from forests in Finland can be doubled if used for manufacturing products of higher added value.
Creating a unique professional profile by combining different fields of science
Professor Daniel Lindberg, a geologist and a chemist, encourages his students to study combinations of different subjects and fields of science.
