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.
The likely El Niño is bad timing for the electricity sector, and means Australians may face supply disruptions and volatile prices.
Do environmental reviews improve projects or delay them and drive up costs? Two legal scholars explain how the law works and how it could influence the ongoing transition to renewable energy.
British electricity generators saw their revenues increase by £29 billion in 2022 – here’s why that happened.
A heater with a 300-litre tank can store as much energy as a home battery at a fraction of the cost. Being able to store surplus solar energy at the right times helps grid stability and cuts emissions.
The need to limit output to the grid costs solar panel owners up to $4.5 million a year in South Australia alone. A bill of rights and responsibilities can make connecting to the grid fairer for all.
If we put green hydrogen plants next to green iron and steelmaking, we can clean up steelmaking and boost the hydrogen industry.
Energy firms are likely to lie about their corporate social responsibility to the environment. Their deception can be turned around for good if they are held accountable.
The book shows how parts of South Africa now fester with organised crime.
The enhanced partnership could accelerate Australia’s transition from fossil fuel exporter to clean energy powerhouse. But success is far from assured.
Domestic use of natural gas is a minimal contributor to overall greenhouse emissions. There should be no rush to ban it before better, cheaper options are in place.
Offshore wind turbines are getting bigger and bigger – and many of them now float – here’s how we stop them drifting away.
Community batteries are popular. But that doesn’t mean they’re always the right tool for the job. We have to make sure they do what we want them to do
Look for hidden trade-offs, political contributions and what businesses are not telling you.
Solar power is growing at 20% a year. That simple fact could change the world for the better in under a decade
Two billion to subsidise green hydrogen sounds like a lot. But the world is racing ahead and we’re still at the starting line.
