If deployed at scale, the technology behind this could make a big difference in charting a better climate future—capturing CO2 and locking it away underground before it can add to the growing greenhouse effect.
Wind-power generation in the North Atlantic would provide three times as much power as land-based systems, but costs remain a significant challenge.
The device, which was developed by a pair of Australian surfers, works by sucking in various kinds of pollution (including oil) and spitting out clean water.
The concept utilizes a building’s thermal mass to drastically reduce energy use by around 85 percent.
42 cars, in three categories, from 21 countries race for 3-7 days using mainly solar power.
Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in the direct conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) into liquid fuels and chemicals which could help industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Over 40 different Catholic institutions have announced a divestment from fossil fuels, making it the largest Catholic alliance against climate change yet.
A moratorium on fracking has been in place since January 2015 and yesterday’s announcement of an outright ban follows a four-month public consultation that received over 60,000 responses.
The Dutch province of Friesland repurposed toilet paper in a 1km stretch of bike highway.
In 2016, renewable energy accounted for two-thirds of all new power added to the world’s grid, according to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). And of the technologies, solar was implemented the most.
Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson believes man should harness the power of hurricanes for good rather than run from them.
The project grew out of a Twitter bet between Mike Cannon-Brookes and Elon Musk. Musk promised to deliver a system to South Australia “in 100 days or its free.” Last week Tesla announced the start of its 100-days countdown.
Researchers at the National Physical Laboratory in India have found a way to transform plastic waste into stylish, practical tiles.
EasyJet has entered into a partnership with an electric aircraft manufacturer. The airline said it had been working with the U.S.-based business this year and revealed a prototype electric plane with a range of 335 miles.
