Discovering new materials could drive forward areas such as green technology and advanced electronics.
Offshore wind power brings more than local, clean energy. It provides jobs, encourages innovation and boosts economic growth as supply chains develop.
Evidence suggests burning more coal and gas will damage many industries. So why are food distributors lobbying for more fossil fuels?
Despite the challenges a second Trump administration will bring, Canada can continue to address climate change by working with sub-national leadership in the U.S.
Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is humanity’s only hope of achieving climate security. It’s time to think deeply about our chances of getting there.
Environmental assessment methods involve trade-offs. Lean towards efficiency and risk missing crucial impacts. Wade too deep into fact finding and assessments become unfeasible.
AI is disturbing the push to electrify vehicles, heating and other sectors running on fossil fuels.
The Energy Department has a dual mission with a heavy science focus and manages large, expensive programs, many of which are behind schedule and over budget.
The Interior Department manages about one-fifth of all US land. Its secretary mediates among many competing uses for it, from recreation to energy production.
Even once researchers can reliably get more power out of a fusion reaction than they put in, they’ll still need to overcome engineering challenges to scale up fusion energy.
Flow batteries can feed energy back to the grid for up to 12 hours – much longer than lithium-ion batteries, which only last four to six hours.
Increasing temperatures puts a strain on electricity supplies, while bushfire smoke can limit the electricity produced by solar panels. So, what can we do about it?
Nuclear is far from a reality in Australia. In the interim, Dutton’s plan would prop up coal and gas
A successful transition to clean energy is vital to Australia’s prosperity. But the Coalition’s latest nuclear salvo leaves many unanswered questions.
Even small actions, such as choosing the right rooftop solar set-up or changing when we use energy, can make a big difference.
Utilities have options for addressing surging power demand from AI data centers, but there’s no silver bullet.
A new federal government strategy outlines how to elevate the rights of Indigenous Australians
Getting this right is important. It could secure jobs, lower bills, shore up industries, and help Australia unlock its full potential.
The annual UN climate conference ended with a weaker deal than many countries hoped for, and with calls to overhaul the climate talks for the future.
