You won’t like this idea – but we may well need oil and gas companies to make green hydrogen and green chemicals a reality
Developing countries are expected to quit coal faster than any energy transition in history.
The cost of sustainability is no longer a deal breaker for some business owners, but more can be done to encourage decarbonisation efforts.
Known as parallel importing, importing goods directly from overseas suppliers lowers costs and increases supply, which is what Australia’s electric vehicle market needs to catch up with the world.
The UK is focusing on carbon capture and storage technologies but the future is uncertain.
Has climate action bogged down? Hardly. Nations are redoubling their efforts in visible and less visible ways.
Already lacking the means to decarbonise their industry or turn to greener alternatives, poor countries could also be deprived of revenues from exports to Europe.
We’ll need to almost double our electricity sector workforce to build renewables as quickly as we need to. Where will the workers come from amid a skills shortage and infrastructure boom?
Existing decarbonisation measures are often unsuitable for the least efficient homes – failing to improve their performance will trap vulnerable people in fuel poverty.
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
A fusion of public and private investment appears to herald a new push towards developing the ultimate clean, limitless energy source.
Steelmaking with green hydrogen is now a less expensive prospect relative to alternatives.
Two of the largest financial institutions are not doing enough to scale up funding for climate action.
Smaller international deals and fossil free zones point a way forward.
Software billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes failed to take over AGL, but he has succeeded in getting a friendlier board of directors.
Constructing and running buildings accounts for roughly a third of global energy use and emissions. So it’s alarming that a report to COP27 shows the sector is veering off course for net zero by 2050.
Decarbonisation is not impossible, but it will be difficult to achieve through capitalism.
Privatising electricity assets was thought to be good for taxpayers. But it has made the transition to renewables much harder.
The answer? By closing a highly polluting power station - and ramping up renewables.
