South Africa’s roadmap to renewable energy has to make sure that electricity will be durable and equitable for all its residents.
Insisting nuclear power is the only way for Australia to achieve net zero by 2050 is a classic move from the playbook of those who oppose urgent action on climate change.
Science philosopher Sam Baron explains where energy comes from on The Conversation’s Curious Kids podcast.
How long will it take for electric vehicles to cut emissions and improve air in our cities? Longer than we think – because petrol and diesel make up almost all of the fleet.
Biogas systems that generate cooking gas from plant waste can be relatively low-cost to set up. They come with environmental and health benefits for rural people who have only firewood to cook with.
Producing energy from harvested trees and other plants – bioenergy – might sound like a greener option, but it’s not a simple issue.
Yes we need land for solar panels, wind farms, batteries, pumped hydro, transmission lines and so on. But the amount of land is surprisingly small, when you do the sums. Here’s why.
After 30 years of democracy, South Africa is in a deep electricity crisis which can only be solved if the government moves speedily to set up solar and wind plants.
Made in Australia could be set for a comeback, if federal government promises materialise. But these localisation plans must work for the regional communities hosting new projects.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recently ruled that it won’t approve energy projects on Native lands without tribal consent. But many more applications are pending.
For two years, Australia had a carbon price. Now we have a shadow price which won’t be paid by any emitter.
Heat is surging in the world’s oceans. Climate change and El Niño explain part of it – but not all.
In 1898, a pioneering Antarctic expedition was stuck in sea ice for over a year. In 2024, that area is open water.
El Niño can direct more warm water to the base of West Antarctic ice shelves, accelerating melting and increasing global sea level.
The reason batteries come in so many types has as much to do with history as innovation.
The energy transition could be scuppered by community scepticism. Communities have to see the benefits.
AI needs careful monitoring and the right policies to ensure it can benefit the fight against climate change.
Bushwalkers with smartphones could help scientists track a fungus lethal to many of Australia’s most loved trees.
Carbon capture is turning the oil and gas industry into a critical player for mitigating climate change – while its products continue to heat up the planet.
