Think Greener is always amazed and proud of new technology breakthroughs such as the residential AC battery invented by a German start-up company. The AC battery does not require an inverter also has 50% more capacity and service life than conventional batteries.
Wow… that is a game changer!
For further details about this new residential battery solution, check out the article titled: German start-up offers 5.2 kwh AC battery that works without inverter.
Why not research and invent new products than can replace the carbon intensive process of making cement? Well, that is exactly what is happening amongst some forward-thinking people! As I mentioned before, a tremendous amount of CO2 is emitted during the process of producing cement. The manufacturing of one ton of portland cement produces one ton of CO2 emissions. This is not an option moving forward! Portland cement accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions.
Let’s talk about the ingredients of cement that makes it’s CO2 emissions so high. Portland cement is a mixture of sand, gravel, water, and lime. High CO2 emissions are produced during the making of lime which acts as the glue to the cement. First you must extract the raw material… Continue reading
Some of my recent posts have been focusing on new solutions lowering cements carbon footprint while increasing the strength! This post focuses on incorporating nanomaterials into traditional cement which improves water and fracture resistance. You may ask yourself; how does this help reverse climate change?
Well; Almighty Mother Nature is the strongest force on earth and breaks down almost everything man has made. Increasing the fracture resistance to concrete and resistance to water penetration will extend the life cycle of cement. Cement is the #1 material consumed globally and this technology can be applied to roads and cities, overtime the concrete will produce less waste and have a reduction in repairs.

The buses from Lubin attracted the attention of the Americans
Think Greener preparing for Interview with PKS
For three months, they traveled around Europe in search of solutions to help reverse the effects of climate change, and finally they also visited Lubin. Robert and Ewa Schmitz, who flew to the Old Continent from the USA, liked the compressed gas buses that passengers do not have to pay for, green parks and street lighting in LED technology.
This is the first phase of our trip around the world. It started with a passion for traveling, but also with the expertise that my husband has in ecology. We wanted to see and illuminate the strategies that different countries are implementing to reverse climate change.… Continue reading
