The BlackRock climate fund is a start, but New Zealand needs a comprehensive approach to tackling its various environmental and economic vulnerabilities to the climate crisis.
The ban on gas connections to new homes in Victoria reflects global trends and will ultimately save households money and cut their emissions.
Australia has a lot of wind and sun, but will we actually become a world leader in renewable energy generation?
Victoria has a plan for the state to electrify, but how do we make the transition fair and equitable for everyone? New research suggests a way forward.
China is a major investor in Latin America’s renewable energy and critical minerals like lithium, but countries like Chile are also taking steps to secure their own clean energy future.
Nearly 400 new mines could open by 2035 to meet demand for the minerals used in global electrification. Better recycling can help with supply, but mining’s impacts will have to be better managed.
Indigenous economic development corporations can generate income for communities and support the transition to clean energy.
Australia’s former chief scientist argues that the transition to clean energy is economically manageable and will ultimately yield benefits.
Currently, most hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels but the falling cost of renewables and growing demand for energy have added momentum for clean hydrogen.
Temperature rise of more than 1°C pushes us towards irreversible climate tipping points, yet Earth is 1.2°C warmer than in pre-industrial times.
LPG meets household needs, is easy to store and transport, and - crucially - is available now in the quantities needed.
Nigeria’s new President Bola Ahmed Tinubu faces a number of challenges. But climate change cannot be ignored.
The likely El Niño is bad timing for the electricity sector, and means Australians may face supply disruptions and volatile prices.
Do environmental reviews improve projects or delay them and drive up costs? Two legal scholars explain how the law works and how it could influence the ongoing transition to renewable energy.
British electricity generators saw their revenues increase by £29 billion in 2022 – here’s why that happened.
A heater with a 300-litre tank can store as much energy as a home battery at a fraction of the cost. Being able to store surplus solar energy at the right times helps grid stability and cuts emissions.
The need to limit output to the grid costs solar panel owners up to $4.5 million a year in South Australia alone. A bill of rights and responsibilities can make connecting to the grid fairer for all.
If we put green hydrogen plants next to green iron and steelmaking, we can clean up steelmaking and boost the hydrogen industry.
Energy firms are likely to lie about their corporate social responsibility to the environment. Their deception can be turned around for good if they are held accountable.
