India is at an energy crossroads: if it chooses fossil fuels, it could undermine global climate targets

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

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

Extreme heat has provided some relief from Europe’s punishing energy crunch. Trouble looms, though, as it continues to seek alternative energy sources

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

Higher fossil energy prices and concerns about energy supply disruptions are driving the acceleration of wind, solar and other renewables, the International Energy Agency says

Wind, solar and hydropower will generate more than 20 percent of the power supply

New funding programs announced at COP27 are helping poor countries transition away from fossil fuels, but the money isn’t going to places without energy

Updates to an EPA draft rule would allow third parties to report large methane leaks, requiring oil and gas operators to promptly fix equipment that emits plumes of the potent planet-warming gas

Fresh data released at the COP27 climate summit show global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are soaring despite an energy crisis
