A team of researchers led by ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ has used data from 60 million individual American households to look into how carbon emissions caused by household energy use vary by race and ethnicity across the country. Paradoxically, this first national level analysis found that even though energy-efficient homes are more often found in Caucasian neighbourhoods, carbon emissions from these neighbourhoods are higher than in African American neighbourhoods.</p> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 14:43:54 +0000 frederique.mazerolle@mcgill.ca 283649 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/zero-carbon-energy-sea-water-step-closer-331215 <p>Researchers at ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ have demonstrated a technique that could enable the production of robust, high-performance membranes to harness an abundant source of renewable energy.</p> <p>Blue energy, also known as osmotic energy, capitalizes on the energy naturally released when two solutions of different salinities mix – conditions that occur in countless locations around the world where fresh and salt water meet.</p> Wed, 26 May 2021 18:16:33 +0000 frederique.mazerolle@mcgill.ca 267609 at /newsroom /newsroom/susan-j-gaskin Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:59:44 +0000 Anonymous 23946 at /newsroom
