Compared to an office space, an average lab consumes 10x energy & 4x water, along with producing lab waste which is often single use disposables.🤯

We are working towards making our labs sustainable through the My Green Lab certification. Learn how: translate-energy.eu/the-cork-profe…

Exploring water-based electrolytes for sodium-ion batteries:
Na2FeP2O7 exhibits promising stability in Na2SO4 electrolyte. Optimised cell architecture enhances gravimetric capacity with excellent cyclability over 100 cycles.

Can everything be explained to everyone in terms they can understand?🤔
🔎📢We took up WIRED's 5 Level Challenge to explain the concept of our project to a child, a teenager, an undergrad student, a grad student and a colleague.
👉📽️How did we fare?:

🎉 Congratulations to Inara Nestrova, PhD student at TRANSLATE from Latvijas Universitāte, for winning the Best Student Poster award at #BEChem2024 held at University of Tartu!🏆
Her experience? 'Mind-breaking💪- gained an
insight into the future perspectives in the field of electrochemistry!'👏

Are you researcher who works everyday towards #EnvironmentalSustainability but worry about the sustainability performance of your own #lab ?🙄

What if there was ‘gold standard’ for best practice in laboratory sustainability?🤔

🔎Watch this space next week for the solution!😎

'What makes it even trickier, is that Ireland doesn't have a very clean electricity system.'
Data centres also give off a lot of heat, which can be turned into the same electricity that places so much demand on the grid.
Exactly TRANSLATE's.
