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.
South Africa’s minister of finance should have used the bailout of Eskom to fast-track its split and introduce the private sector into the electricity sector.
Deciding on the best system isn’t a simple matter. There’s a bewildering array of jargon to sift through and many elements to consider.
Texas wasn’t prepared to keep the lights on during Winter Storm Uri, and it won’t be ready for future cold weather unless it starts thinking about energy demand as well as supply.
Canada’s zero-emissions vehicle sales target will need hundreds of thousands of EV charging points to be installed in homes, workplaces, retail spaces and along highway corridors in the coming years.
Energy companies have marketed natural gas as cooks’ favorite for years because homes with gas hookups will also use it for space and water heating.
Without energy market reform, expensive gas will have few upsides.
Coffee capsules aren’t the biggest carbon culprits. It’s better to use a capsule than to waste coffee and water.
Digital activities, like sending emails, contribute marginally to the annual carbon footprint of information and communication technology users.
Thanks one of the treasurer’s most trusted confidants, we can now piece together what the government’s likely to do next about rising energy bills. Here’s what I expect to see over the next month.
