Proposed reflectors would help provide clean energy when demand peaks near dawn and dusk.
Solar farms that span whole countries could change the climate – new study.
Including a positive way to think about tipping points.
There are several risks in choosing the nuclear path – the biggest being financial.
If big money is going to invest in clean energy and technology, the rules have to be clear. Australia’s launch of a green finance strategy last week was a good start but there is further to go.
When Australia’s government and opposition argue over how to get to net zero emissions, nuclear power is the flashpoint. The argument against nuclear is stronger, but not for the obvious reason.
If Alberta prepares to transition from oil and gas to solar energy, the workforce will need retraining. New research shows that this will cost less than expected.
Australia has a massive opportunity to reduce global emissions by as much as 9%, all while renewing its heavy industries and economy. But to seize the opportunity, government needs to move fast.
If Australia is to meet its net zero targets it must move fast and build massive industrial infrastructure. But those projects are provoking fierce hostility. Is there a way through the green dilemma?
Solar power generation varies greatly depending on the weather. A new study suggests in some parts of Australia, solar has a bright future.
The transition to net zero emissions is under grave threat if governments do not do more to address the potential unfairness of some climate policies.
The 1909 incident may have cost the industry decades of progress – and the planet huge amounts of damaging carbon emissions.
Rather than paying ageing power stations to stay open in the transition to renewable energy, demand flexibility is cheaper and cleaner way to ensure the system has enough capacity.
The Biden Administration’s signature climate legislation is unleashing a wave of clean energy investment, along with some opportunities and risks for countries like Australia.
Despite the meteoric rise of wind and solar, fossil energy sources have met most new demand in fast-growing economies.
Wealthier people are getting their solar panels connected first, leaving a more congested grid for everyone else.
The sunniest days also see the biggest demand for air con.
A new study shows we can maximise the benefits of green roofs and rooftop solar systems by putting them together on the one roof.
Solar panels in space could harness more of the Sun’s energy.
