Converting the existing U.S. car fleet to electric vehicles would require more lithium than the world currently produces, showing the need to move away from private cars as a primary means of travel...
Department of Energy researchers are partnering with battery manufacturers to help them find new ways to make cheap batteries that can store a lot of energy
Sensors installed on clients’ buildings detect water levels and immediately trigger the claims process
Temperatures in north-central Greenland are the highest in at least a millennium, contributing to ice melt that is raising global sea levels
Carbon removal is an “unavoidable” part of global climate action, but a new report finds that current efforts aren’t enough to meet the warming limits set by the Paris climate agreement...
Mineral deposits called “lime clasts” found in ancient Roman concrete give the material self-healing capabilities that could help engineers develop more resilient modern concrete and reduce its associated emissions...
Oil and gas facilities will soon be charged for releasing methane, but technologies to capture the potent greenhouse gas are still relatively new and untested
Scientists working for the oil giant Exxon in the 1970s and 1980s estimated temperature increases with remarkable accuracy. Those findings could now be used as evidence in climate litigation...
The world’s oceans hit their warmest levels on record for the fourth consecutive year in 2022, fueling sea-level rise and contributing to climate disasters
Though renewable energy surpassed coal generation for the first time in 60 years, causing U.S. power emissions to decline, emissions from buildings and transportation went up in 2022
Even if the world meets its most ambitious climate targets, about half of all mountain glaciers will melt away by the end of the century
A slow economy, clean energy spending, electric vehicles and heat pumps could offset coal combustion to level carbon emissions
Extreme heat has provided some relief from Europe’s punishing energy crunch. Trouble looms, though, as it continues to seek alternative energy sources
The U.S. Department of the Treasury makes an unprecedented move to find out if home insurers are abandoning communities vulnerable to climate change
If regulators finalize proposed rules, financial firms may have to reveal their climate-related risks, and public companies may have to disclose greenhouse gas emissions
Iron-air batteries have a “reversible rust” cycle that could store and discharge energy for far longer and at less cost than lithium-ion technology
A mile-long ice sample extracted by the U.S. military while it was studying whether to arm Greenland with nuclear missiles during the cold war is yielding insights into the Greenland ice sheet’s future in a warming world...
Increasing demand for natural gas and oil has offset emissions reductions associated with coal and pushed U.S. energy emissions higher for a second consecutive year
Sustainable aviation fuel is poised for exponential growth thanks to increased investment and policy support, according to industry officials
The Biden administration launched a historic effort on Tuesday to commercialize direct air capture technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
