To address the climate crisis, governments need to limit new fossil fuel developments. But foreign investors are often protected under trade and investment agreements.
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 gradual drawdown of gold mining is a critical step towards sustainability.
As we modernise Australia’s power grid, we should look to superconducting cables to save energy, cut emissions and future-proof the system
Proponents of mining in space often point to the potential benefits for Earth and its people. But this research casts doubt on many of them.
Now that diplomatic relations are out of the deep freeze, business and cultural ties between China and Australia are set for a major rebound.
Green jobs go beyond solar panel installation and wind turbine maintenance. They’re found in fields from design to economics and in many types of management.
The promise of abundant, clean energy powered by nuclear fusion is one big step closer thanks to a new experiment. The results are a historic scientific milestone, but energy production remains a ways off.
Some of the most powerful offshore wind is over water too deep for a standard wind turbine. Engineers found a way around the problem.
After a decade of climate wars, Australia is suddenly united – with state, territory and federal goverments aiming for net zero by 2050 for the first time
Start high, drop fast and avoid the free-riders: How to design subsidies that can boost clean energy in the US and elsewhere.
The current energy crisis is an opportunity to accelerate the transition towards clean energy – but some countries are better than others at pursuing major energy reform.
Saying that the climate problem is complex is false, and a distraction from what we know needs to be done.
Natural gas projects in Africa might help reduce supply shortages temporarily, but they could soon become stranded assets.
A managed fossil fuel phasing-out offers a chance for producers – including governments, corporations and unions – to negotiate the terms of a ‘just transition’ to renewable energy.
COP27 is Australia’s chance to join the global climate effort, but we’ll need to bring more to the table to be taken seriously.
The answer? By closing a highly polluting power station - and ramping up renewables.
By 2025, factories are on track to churn out enough silicon to produce the equivalent of all installed solar – every year.
If mining workplaces are anything to go by, the clean energy sector will have their work cut out for them to retain women in the workforce.
