SDG 9: Industry & Innovation
SDG 9 aims to build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.
An in-use comparative analysis of diesel, CNG, and electric buses for a small island developing state
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean face distinctive challenges due to their small size and vulnerability to climate change. SIDS also exhibit high transportation costs and car dependencies, impacting their sustainable development.
Behind BASEPROD: Collecting a dataset for planetary exploration
The semi-desert of Bardenas Reales, Spain, offers a diverse array of terrain features ranging from rocky outcrops to sandy slopes. This is ideal for robotics researchers working on planetary exploration. We have recorded a dataset with nearly two kilometers of traverses, maps, and spectroscopy data.
Engineered yeast good at straw-sugar conversion
Lignocellulosic ethanol has been thoroughly explored, but its use has not matured due to economic and technological constraints. With the increased attention to climate change, the industrial utilization of lignocellulose, especially lignocellulosic ethanol, has regained attention.
Selected social impact indicators influenced by materials for green energy technologies
The global shift to green energy is essential. Governments, businesses, and communities are adopting renewable technologies to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability. However, one important question often gets overlooked: What are the social risks of the green energy transition?
