Five simple (and cheap) things to make your house use less energy Penn In the News NPR Five simple (and cheap) things to make your house use less energy Dorit Aviv of the Weitzman School of Design offers five simple solutions to reduce a home’s climate pollution, make it more resilient to global warming, and reduce energy bills. EPA head urges Trump to reconsider scientific finding that underpins climate action, AP sources say Penn In the News Associated Press EPA head urges Trump to reconsider scientific finding that underpins climate action, AP sources say Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences says that the latest form of climate denial is to pretend climate change isn’t a threat rather than denying that it’s happening. Fifth Energy Week to bring Penn community together around solutions As part of Energy Week in 2024, Kleinman Center for Energy Policy Research Director Angela Pachon moderated a discussion with Kleinman Center Senior Fellow Danny Cullenward on decarbonizing the industrial sector.(Image: T. Kevin Birch) Fifth Energy Week to bring Penn community together around solutions More than two dozen events held Feb. 10-14 will give students, faculty, and staff an opportunity to learn about energy-related research and work at Penn and beyond. An illuminating celebration to a brighter, greener future nocred An illuminating celebration to a brighter, greener future Members of the Penn community celebrated an energy research milestone: the unveiling of the new Vagelos Laboratory for Energy Science and Technology. Mapping molecular arrangements to pave the way for better catalytic systems Eric Stach of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and colleagues used neural networks to better identify the characteristics of catalysts that drive the creation of liquid fuels from sunlight. Shown here: The arrangement of a catalyst molecule, as observed under cryogenic conditions. The bright spots represent individual or small groups of molecules immobilized on a surface and the cryogenic temperature helps minimize clustering caused by the electron beam during imaging, allowing scientists to study the molecule’s distribution more accurately.(Image: Sungho Jeon) Mapping molecular arrangements to pave the way for better catalytic systems The Stach Group in Penn Engineering led a collaborative team identifying how chemical catalysts drive the creation of liquid fuels from sunlight, paving the way for more efficient removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. A greener, cleaner way to extract cobalt (Image: Alfio Manciagli) A greener, cleaner way to extract cobalt Penn researchers led a collaborative effort pioneering safer, more sustainable technique to extract elements critical to battery-powered technologies. Findings pave the way for getting value from materials that would otherwise be considered waste. Exxon CEO wants Trump to stay in Paris climate accord Penn In the News Salon.com Exxon CEO wants Trump to stay in Paris climate accord Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences voices his concern about the possibility that the U.S. could become a petrostate. Amid Earth’s heat records, scientists report another bump upward in annual carbon emissions Penn In the News Associated Press Amid Earth’s heat records, scientists report another bump upward in annual carbon emissions Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences says that total carbon emissions including fossil fuel pollution and land use changes such as deforestation are basically flat because land emissions are declining. New report accuses Citibank of funding fossil fuel projects amounting to environmental racism Penn In the News Salon.com New report accuses Citibank of funding fossil fuel projects amounting to environmental racism Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences says that from an ethical standpoint banks and investment firms should no longer be financing new fossil fuel infrastructure. Demand for rare elements used in clean energy could help clean up abandoned coal mines in Appalachia Penn In the News Associated Press Demand for rare elements used in clean energy could help clean up abandoned coal mines in Appalachia John Quigley of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy at the Weitzman School of Design says that the things that have created climate change can be a solution for it if handled smartly.
