The United Nations begins negotiations on a global plastic pollution agreement
Today, negotiations have begun in Geneva to establish a global agreement to address the incredible and growing plastic waste and its impact on human health, marine life and the economy. Unless the international agreement is in place, plastic pollution is projected to triple by 2060, causing major damage to the planet, according to the United […]
Standard nuclear weapons selected to commence US nuclear fuel production
In a major step towards energizing America’s energy independence, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) conditionally selected Standard Nuclear Power as the first company to participate in the newly launched Nuclear Fuel Line Pilot Program. The initiative is designed to strengthen the domestic supply chain of nuclear fuel, a key component in the deployment of […]

As Hynet Cluster expands, UK carbon capture jobs will skyrocket
Thousands of new carbon capture jobs have been created across Wales and Northwest England as the UK is increasing its investment in clean energy and climate solutions. The UK’s carbon capture industry is receiving a major boost as Hynet Cluster, the leading carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub in the northwest, continues to grow. With […]
Breakthroughs in graphene oxide for PFAS-free food packaging
How sustainable and scalable nanomaterials are reconstructing the future of food-safe packaging. For decades, plastic and PFAS-based coatings have served as invisible armor in food packaging, providing important protection against moisture, oil and air. However, these materials are currently under intense global scrutiny of the connection between environmental sustainability and human health risks. Known as […]
Economic and social considerations for the future of nuclear energy in society
The ECOSENS project provides a detailed picture of Europe’s perception of nuclear energy and emerging technologies. Nuclear energy, particularly using advanced technologies and/or small modular reactors (SMRs), is receiving increasing attention worldwide as a potentially important contributor to reducing global CO2 emissions, while meeting the energy demands and ensuring energy security. The European strategic framework […]
