Beazley - Prevent Australia Being Lost

4 December 2022 by Michael Sharpe

AUKUS innovations. When it comes to energy, the situation that Australia finds itself in seems absurd. The fact that we are blessed with more natural resources than most other countries on earth and yet, we need diesel. Surely we need to build Australia’s refining capabilities and we certainly need more fuel storage. Australia currently has less than 20 days of diesel in reserve and I’ve heard it said that “we are yet to see a solar powered armoured tank that is effective”.

Good to see that UOW Facility for Intelligent Fabrication is helping to supply the 70,000 new welders needed in Australia by 2030 to power up the renewable energy shift.

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
