At the Leader’s Climate Summit in April, Xi Jinping pledged that China will “strictly control coal-fired power generation projects” and strictly limit the increase in coal consumption during the current 14th Five-Year-Plan period (2021-2025)
Plant materials that lie to rot in soil makes good compost and play a key role in sequestering carbon, research finds.
How do you safely store spent nuclear waste? No-one knows. It’ll be a costly headache for our descendants.
While aviation accounts for 2.4% of all emissions from fossil fuel use globally, two-thirds of the sector’s warming effect depends on something other than its CO₂ emissions. And one of the most significant ways aviation contributes to global warming is through the clouds aeroplanes create in the upper atmosphere.
Britain, host of November’s UN talks, COP-26, is pilloried by its own advisers for the UK’s “really shocking” climate record.
New York needs a gas utility planning process that can deliver on the equitable clean energy transition promised by its landmark climate and clean energy law—The New York Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA).
We must not forget our dependence on the biodiversity that makes this planet livable. After all, these fish grow the forests.
The California Senate approved by a vote of 31 to 9 groundbreaking legislation to eliminate carbon pollution from California’s cement plants. Senate Bill 596 by Senator Josh Becker directs the Air Resources Board to develop a comprehensive strategy to achieve carbon neutrality in the cement industry no later than 2045 and to establish interim targets for reducing cement’s greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity.
New research shows that when a power system combines energy storage and solar power generation, the end result is greater than the sum of its parts in terms of its ability to handle peak energy demand.
Fancy maggot burgers for dinner? Eating animals and plants which revolt many of us could cut hunger caused by climate change.
As countries explore ways of decarbonising their economies, the mantra of “green growth” risks trapping us in a spiral of failures.
During the G7 summit in Cornwall, the group of nations unveiled a global initiative to help low and middle-income countries to cover the vast cost of green infrastructure.
The hurdle is no longer economic nor technical; our biggest challenges are political. A cleaner future is within reach.
A new report from leading biodiversity and climate experts details how humanity must tackle the climate and biodiversity crises together if we want to effectively address either.
Sink or swim as one, says science. Solve nature and climate together, or neither of the twin crises will be soluble.
Ships carry more than 80% of world trade, and they rely heavily on some of the least environmentally friendly transportation fuels available.
Researchers have figured out a way to overcome a key hurdle in making efficient perovskite solar cells, one that also sequesters CO2.
Replacing just one of concrete’s main ingredients with volcanic rock could slash carbon emissions from manufacturing the material by nearly two-thirds, according to a new study.
Researchers have identified more than 1,700 large sources of methane in an oil field that spans Texas and New Mexico, with about half of them likely being malfunctioning equipment.
Chair Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) along with 25 original cosponsors has reintroduced the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act on World Oceans Day, June 8th. This is the type of visionary bill we need for this moment, recognizing that the ocean is a powerful source of solutions to the climate crisis.
Bacteria found in brackish sediments can “eat” electricity and, in the process, absorb and lock away climate-warming carbon dioxide, research finds.
