Thinking about getting your home off gas, but don’t know where to begin? Here’s a few handy tips to get you on your way.
As the drive towards electrification advances, one fact seems clear: it is far easier to reuse waste heat for our homes and businesses than it is to generate it anew.
20 years ago, solar and wind were expensive enough to make nuclear seem like an option for Australia. With cheap renewables a reality, there’s simply no point to domestic nuclear.
One in 4 American households are at risk of losing power because of the high cost of energy. Over 30% of those disconnections are in summer, when heat gets dangerous.
Illinois passed the latest law requiring new apartment buildings to be wired for EV chargers. Now apartment communities are figuring out the best ways to make shared charging work for everyone.
A new report from the Grattan Institute shows most households can save thousands of dollars by getting off gas and switching to electric appliances.
The likely El Niño is bad timing for the electricity sector, and means Australians may face supply disruptions and volatile prices.
British electricity generators saw their revenues increase by £29 billion in 2022 – here’s why that happened.
Any remedies to the South African power crisis initiated now – or under development – are not going to have a significant impact this year.
Coca-Cola has made ambitions climate and sustainability pledges, but marketing its products worldwide will always be a top priority.
Fossil fuel power plants can avoid most emissions by capturing carbon dioxide and pumping it underground. But to be a climate solution, that carbon has to stay stored for thousands of years.
Hydrogen is getting a lot of attention as the EPA prepares to propose new emissions rules for power plants. But it has a problem: almost all of it used today is made from fossil fuels.
A new generation of flexible solar cells has been pioneered using a material known as perovskite.
Liddell’s closure is an historic moment in the Australian energy landscape. Now, let’s get to net-zero.
Superconductors make highly efficient electronics, but the ultralow temperatures and ultrahigh pressures make them costly and difficult to use. Room-temperature superconductors promise to change that.
Superconductors are materials that can transmit electricity without any resistance. Researchers are getting closer to creating superconducting materials that can function in everyday life.
Reducing gas use in our homes will help avoid energy price hikes. But where is the best place to start?
Households and businesses are set for more hip-pocket pain after regulators flagged hefty electricity price rises in four Australian states.
The Huc enzyme can split hydrogen molecules to make electricity, raising the possibility of small devices that run on air.
