Hydrogen makes it possible to store renewable energy for longer – but has its limitations.
China dominates the wind turbine market, but it wants to expand further.
Creating energy corridors is in the national interest, and the Canadian government should prioritize funding clean energy supply solutions.
The new federal law favors energy technologies that are already profitable and increase global warming over cleaner approaches that could use the investment support.
Some technologies could rapidly cut emissions, while others do little to fight climate change. The House bill favors the latter while nixing support for the former.
South Africa has secured pledges of R218 billion to fund its transition away from coal-fired power and bring in renewable energy.
Emotions help shape opinion on energy sources. Understanding this can allow us to design better zero-carbon policies.
Including a positive way to think about tipping points.
Australia has a lot of wind and sun, but will we actually become a world leader in renewable energy generation?
People are starting to notice the weather and climate, and to understand climate change better than ever before.
Jobs in the clean energy industry are expected to grow thanks to a historic federal investment in fighting climate change. Many of the jobs have low barriers to entry, an expert says.
While a US transition to renewable energy by 2030 is possible, streamlined policies with clear goals and incentives are necessary to get there, says an industrial engineering professor.
Simple economic modelling shows the mining industry would benefit from a carbon tax.
Western democracies need to create a financing program to support the energy transition in the Indo-Pacific — and to achieve both regional security and climate goals.
Subsidies could help kickstart cost cutting and innovation in this prohibitively expensive industry.
How governments can ensure phasing out oil and gas won’t do more damage.
Offshore renewable energy installations could provide so much more than just clean electricity.
More than ten offshore wind farms are currently proposed for Australia. If built, their combined capacity would be greater than all coal-fired power plants in the nation.
How much energy does the internet use, and - given recent technological advances - could it ever run on renewable energy alone?
