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.
Looming carbon budget deadlines pose a challenge for the UK’s flagship climate legislation.
While some countries are more likely than others to sign an international agreement to phase out fossil fuels, measures to tackle fossil fuel demand by adding a higher carbon price are essential.
Ghana has spent over 60 years trying to build an aluminium industry.
Modellers of the energy transition have tended to neglect fractious international relations in their calculations.
Cutting wealth inequality could curb the super-rich’s disproportionate share of emissions.
Gold hydrogen is naturally occurring gas trapped in pockets under the ground – in much the same way as oil and natural gas
The distinction between ‘abated’ and ‘unabated’ fossil fuels is crucial, yet remains ambiguous.
Oil and gas must be eliminated from heating systems over the coming years.
To avert climate breakdown, most of the world’s coal, oil and gas must stay underground.
Industry is a leading climate polluter: Our road map shows what’s needed to cut industrial emissions in fast-growing countries.
A flight powered by sustainable aviation fuel is making a trip across the Atlantic. But is it really a greener way to fly?
Modern mariners can harness trade winds to reduce carbon emissions.
It’s still possible for Australia to cut emissions in line with holding climate change to 1.5°C. Here’s how.
30 of the 50 economists surveyed want a carbon price of the kind introduced by Julia Gillard in 2012 and abolished by Tony Abbott in 2014. Several say there’s little “time left to act seriously”.
The use of fossil fuels carries a much heavier greenhouse gas penalty.
Four years after being made redundant, workers in coal-fired power stations made redundant make only one half of what they used to.
Big name food brands are pursuing decarbonisation – but they are squeezing farmers in the process.
Policies and funds to decarbonise high-emitting industries and electrify transport are already delivering emissions cuts. But they are at risk of being disestablished or weakened.
