The world runs on energy, so finding low-emission alternatives to fossil fuels is crucial. Wind and solar are cheap and abundant but can’t do everything. But hydrogen fuel could complete the picture.

Britain’s electricity supply is getting greener but the burning question remains over how to decarbonise heating.
The next 20 years of Britain’s electricity policy must look very different from the previous 20.
Electric trains use seven times less carbon dioxide than cars. With careful planning, railways could drastically cut emissions from a sector that now accounts for a quarter of the carbon in our air.
Long term climate targets are meaningless without concrete action. Here’s what the plans of the UK’s two biggest parties mean for the planet.
The future of zero-carbon transport starts today. First stop, Britain’s railways.
Innovation in digital technology is accelerating – it has massive untapped potential for tackling the climate crisis.
We can’t decarbonise the whole transport sector with just batteries - sustainable fuels are essential.
Tapping just 3.7% of solar potential in countries in China’s intercontinental infrastructure programme could power the entire region.
Decarbonizing the global economy would help the climate change problem – but also many others. Would putting all those additional co-benefits center stage help drum up support for climate action?
Labour’s next manifesto could be defined by a radical proposal for tackling climate change.
By enacting a legislative framework to achieve carbon neutrality, France and the United Kingdom are making a difference in the fight against climate change.
As well as polluting our seas, plastics are warming the planet too. Urgent changes are needed to eliminate plastic’s contribution to climate breakdown.
Investors are increasingly concerned about climate change, but for the markets to deploy their full capacities, the dominant principles that guide them need to be revised.
The UK has made huge progress in decarbonising its energy mix, but the hard work has just begun.
The climate issue cannot be considered less urgent than the social or economic crisis.
The Drax biomass plant in Yorkshire is the first in the world to pioneer carbon capture and some specialists see it as it has a bright future. But hold the rosy headlines.
The world needs to be carbon-neutral by mid-century to give ourselves a chance of holding global warming to 1.5C. With around 1% of the global carbon budget, Australia needs to rapidly do its share.
Digitalisation and better energy storage are reshaping the electricity market.
We think of decarbonisation as a “cost”. But what about the opportunity?
