The AfD has put the fight against wind turbines at the core of its election strategy. Could a win in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt slow down Germany’s energy transition?
As long as women and other equity-seeking groups are underrepresented, Canada’s clean energy workforce remains inequitable.
Three researchers take stock of different Union-wide policy approaches to removing and storing carbon emissions in the heavy industry sector.
Solar energy is associated with intermittency issues, as it only generates electricity when the sun shines. Certain PV systems can provide cost-effective power reserves for storing electricity.
Why would a young Republican back solar but reject a carbon tax? Twenty years of survey data shows climate opinion is more complex than party labels suggest.
Both major parties want to boost household solar. But new research suggests wider uptake also depends on policy certainty, design and long-term returns.
Communities have been laying the groundwork for offshore energy projects for years and counting on the jobs and energy supply.
The rapid expansion of critical mineral extraction is trading away human and ecological well-being for technological breakthroughs. There are ways to fix this.
Analysts forecast China’s clean exports would plunge. But demand has surged to new heights after the Iran war
Africa’s clean energy funding would work much better if projects could borrow on fairer terms, and have longer to pay back loans.
A recent report into the federal government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program found major problems with safety and compliance.
Electric taxis are a long-term climate solution whose immediate value lies in cleaner air, lower operating costs, lower noise and better urban health.
The oil shocks of the 1970s spurred marine energy innovation. Fifty years on, New Zealand still has vast untapped ocean power waiting to be harnessed.
A gas crisis could challenge Europe next winter if its gas reserves are not replenished. The phaseout of Russian gas and LNG by late 2027 is a major part of the EU’s gas diversification strategy but it exposes the continent to price volatility.
A just transition to a green economy with broad growth in employment will require deliberate efforts.
Even as the US steps back from Paris and New Zealand flirts with imported gas, the global energy transition is gathering speed.
Yes, climate change is worsening and action is uneven. But the shift away from fossil fuels is beginning.
To be inclusive and impactful, energy transition policies need to be co-created with the communities and workers who run Canada’s energy industries.
While wind and solar energy led in investments globally, liquefied natural gas is also booming. A former climate envoy for Germany explains what’s coming and the countries to watch.
