Technologies like biomass gasification can help tackle the growing global problem of food waste.
Lithium is essential for batteries that power electric vehicles and store energy from solar and wind farms. A new U.S. source could provide 10 times more lithium than the country uses today.
A new geochemical discovery could lead to a cleaner way to extract the rare earth elements needed for the transition to renewable energy.
Electricity, not what the EU calls ‘renewable gases’, offer the fastest route to decarbonising heating.
Australia could use about 7,000 terawatt-hours of solar and wind generation per annum to make a sizeable contribution to cutting global emissions – about 27 times its current electricity output.
Conflict in Eastern Europe must not cause global climate action to falter. We must ensure the renewables industry can withstand such global shocks.
Electric vehicle batteries, wind turbine generators and hydrogen fuel cells are among technologies likely to be affected by the conflict.
Australia has finally opened the regulatory doors to offshore wind farms. What do we need to do to make the roll out fast and build supply chains?
New relationships between energy, geopolitical security and climate change policy flowing from the invasion of Ukraine are beginning to emerge, and the implications could be enormous.
Their underwater foundations cause different layers of the ocean to mix together.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has used his country’s massive energy reserves effectively for political influence. But with war in Ukraine, nations are looking for ways to cut those ties.
Fusion seems nearer than ever - but it won’t be the silver bullet to stop climate change.
New developments in microalgae cultivation are helping to propel the potential of renewable biofuels to combat climate change.
Human behaviors shift. Policies change. New technology arrives and evolves. All those changes and more are hard to predict, and they affect tomorrow’s costs.
Low-income households are disproportionately affected by rising energy prices. A new report compares approaches to energy affordability in the EU and Australia.
Covering the state’s canals with solar panels would reduce evaporation of precious water and help meet renewable energy goals – all while saving money.
AGL’s board has knocked back a billionaire-led bid to shut its coal generators. Serious negotiations will now begin – and Mike Cannon-Brookes has form on transforming Australian power generation.
South Africa’s biggest successes in the last year in relation to energy have been in regulatory matters.
Eraring is the latest in a string of announcements for early coal plant closures. The fundamental reason is the brutal impact of renewables on coal’s profitability.
