And if the SMR were located closer to populated areas with no offsite emergency planning, more people could be exposed to dangerously high levels of radiation. Reactors that use uranium inefficiently have disproportionate impacts on the environment from polluting uranium mining and processing activities.

Solar power has a major role to play in cutting carbon emissions, but producing photovoltaic cells from silicon – the long-time market leader – is an energy-intensive process. Cells made from perovskites offer a promising alternative, and recent advances have pushed their efficiencies beyond 25.5%, just shy of silicon’s record.

Lo first became interested in this area while studying physics and astronomy at Durham University , UK, where her final-year project looked at how to calibrate telescopes to correct for atmospheric effects on the radiation they detect. Eunice Lo is a researcher at the University of Bristol and frequently contributes to climate reports.

What’s harder is knowing the carbon footprint of building materials throughout their lifecycle, which requires reams of data about supply chains and logistics that either don’t exist or have never been tracked. Overall, cement accounts for 3% of the world’s carbon emissions. Wood you believe?

green-roofs can cut the urban global warming contributions in half and could reduce urban carbon emissions dramatically. Green-roofs buffer some stormwater, sequester carbon, and improve water quality. in the largest metropolitan areas in the US also confirm the links between mortality, the UHIE, and climate change.
