Environmentalists say the new film has caused untold damage at a time when change has never been more urgent. So why is it so controversial?
A new nuclear plant called Barakah is nearing completion in the UAE. But it risks further stabilising the volatile Gulf region.
Sun Cable could provide Australia an alternative to the export business of coal and gas, and even reduce our export dependence on China.
The transformation of the national electricity market has “progressed at a remarkable pace and scale” over the last year as it moves towards renewables, but security remains a critical issue.
Drought-driven humanitarian emergencies can be prevented if groundwater is reliably made available at strategic locations.
Unpacking what South Africa’s new energy plan says about nuclear energy.
Australia’s renewables revolution proves that there’s cause for hope in our emissions reduction goals. But we cannot rest on our laurels.
Tapping just 3.7% of solar potential in countries in China’s intercontinental infrastructure programme could power the entire region.
Scientists spend years preparing for the two-minute window of a total solar eclipse.
Solar and wind can’t deliver power on demand. But overbuilding solar and wind, and simply dumping unneeded energy, would go a long way to smoothing out those bumps, study finds.
The Trump administration’s Affordable Clean Energy Plan would help the declining coal industry, but a study shows many coal workers could transition to a new industry – solar – and earn more money.
Blockchains and AI could play a key role in the decentralised energy systems of the future.
Large-scale solar and wind tend to push energy prices down, which sounds great as a consumer. But that makes keeping the grid in constant balance harder.
Solar photovoltaics and wind power are on track to supplant fossil-fuel-based electricity generation by the 2030s. The only thing holding back the renewable revolution is politics.
South Africa’s power utility would do well to consider swapping out expensive new coal-powered capability for renewables.
Innovation in small-scale solar systems and mobile money systems is giving people in sub-Saharan Africa access to electricity at a lower cost than diesel or kerosene.
Lowering your carbon footprint by living off-grid is a sustainability dream. But how possible is it using current technology?
A massive rural on-grid electrification programme in Rwanda has delivered considerable benefits. But is it the most sensible way to deliver power to remote areas?
The European Investment Bank’s funding of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline will harm the climate and makes little financial sense.
