Tandem solar cells promise to revolutionise the clean energy transition – but a shortage of materials means they must urgently be redesigned.
Our research has found 30,000 farm dams which could be used as energy storage. Solar by day, hydro by night.
Using agricultural land for both solar and food production presents huge opportunities for Canadian farmers, especially in Alberta.
Our carbon budget is shrinking fast. We crunched the data to find pathways for G20 nations to act faster
There’s a consensus that extreme hydrological events will increase throughout the continent. This will lead to growing issues with power system reliability.
In some cases, adding a battery to your rooftop solar system will pay off. But to be sure of this, households need information about many factors – and there’s no single reliable place to find it.
New research has found that bats avoid solar farms – but the findings should not hinder the transition to renewable energy.
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.
