Low-carbon energy sources aren’t all equally well-suited to getting us to net-zero emissions.
New bike lanes are a good idea for health and air quality, but the convenience of car travel for most journeys will remain.
It seems likely we are going to need radical reductions in future ownership of private vehicles as we transition to cleaner transport.
Energy efficiency and electrification should lead the effort to decarbonise society, not hydrogen.
Building a greener economy starts at home.
Emissions from Australia’s electricity sector have dropped markedly during the pandemic.
But a recession could cloud the renewables outlook.
Just as it did 75 years ago, the UK government has a chance to build back better from a crisis.
As lockdowns have came into effect around the world, air pollution has plummeted.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has called for fewer cars and better public transport.
The world runs on energy, so finding low-emission alternatives to fossil fuels is crucial. Wind and solar are cheap and abundant but can’t do everything. But hydrogen fuel could complete the picture.
Britain’s electricity supply is getting greener but the burning question remains over how to decarbonise heating.
The next 20 years of Britain’s electricity policy must look very different from the previous 20.
Electric trains use seven times less carbon dioxide than cars. With careful planning, railways could drastically cut emissions from a sector that now accounts for a quarter of the carbon in our air.
Long term climate targets are meaningless without concrete action. Here’s what the plans of the UK’s two biggest parties mean for the planet.
The future of zero-carbon transport starts today. First stop, Britain’s railways.
Innovation in digital technology is accelerating – it has massive untapped potential for tackling the climate crisis.
We can’t decarbonise the whole transport sector with just batteries - sustainable fuels are essential.
Tapping just 3.7% of solar potential in countries in China’s intercontinental infrastructure programme could power the entire region.
Decarbonizing the global economy would help the climate change problem – but also many others. Would putting all those additional co-benefits center stage help drum up support for climate action?
