Scientists in Switzerland have designed transparent solar panels that could make windows generate electricity.

New research has found that more than half of gamers asked (52%) are now sharing new gaming purchases with friends and 62% say they are not buying new games at all - instead focusing on secondhand purchases or freebies.

Removing CO2 directly from the air requires almost as many joules as those produced by burning the fossil fuel in the first place, writes Leigh Collins

World leaders are once again preparing to meet next month to discuss how they’ll address climate change. Known as COP27, the two-week conference in Egypt will gather governments, large corporations, and nonprofit groups, representing billions of people and billions of dollars, all aiming to hash out how best to keep the planet from warming up too much.

Europe has more natural gas than it knows what to do with. So much, in fact, that spot prices briefly went negative earlier this week.

It gets almost three-quarters of its electricity from coal, and has 39 new coal-fired power plants under construction. It digs up and burns more of the stuff than any other country except China. And it is coal’s loudest advocate internationally: at last year’s climate conference in Glasgow, it was the skunk at the garden party, blocking efforts to phase out the fuel most responsible for global warming.

As the UN steps up calls to make the switch to renewable energy to fight the global climate emergency, Portugal is among the first European Union countries to abandon coal.

The humble heat pump has finally found its moment in the spotlight. The appliance can potentially save you money on your energy bills, fight climate change, and reduce Europe’s dependency on Russian gas, proponents say. One day, heat pumps might even replace air conditioning and heating systems across the world.

Legislation with the backing of nine Senators will be introduced today to remove Australia’s nuclear energy ban. Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says he’s calling for the country to “open the window” to consider nuclear as an energy option.

"There is a permanent emergency of injustice and inequality, but the suffering of the majority world has been normalized, and climate change is quickly joining the long list of things that are tolerated."

A new Harvard University investigation commissioned by Greenpeace Netherlands, reveals rampant use of greenwashing and tokenism by the largest car brands, airlines and oil and gas companies in Europe to exploit people’s concerns about the environment and spread disinformation online.

Scientists at CERN think they may have discovered a new source of clean energy.

The British government on Wednesday said it would cap wholesale electricity and gas costs for businesses at less than half the market rate from next month, helping relieve the pressure of soaring energy costs but adding to the government's fast-rising spending.

This technology has just proved its value in a crisis, and the more capacity we add, the more it will save us from high bills and blackouts.

"The UK doesn't need Russian gas, doesn't need Texan LNG, it doesn't need to import anything."

Scientists in South Korea have managed to get a nuclear fusion reactor to operate a stable plasma for 30 seconds, marking another promising step toward unlimited clean energy. Nuclear fusion, a process that physicists and engineers have been working on for decades, involves merging two atomic nuclei to form one larger nucleus under intense heat and pressure.

Putting general restrictions on the country’s storied highways is a simple step to save energy, carbon emissions and lives. But even with the Greens in power, the country is unlikely to take it.

A huge oilfield in the Gulf of Mexico, which caused a hellish fire in the ocean last year, has been releasing massive amounts of planet-warming methane. Reuters reported last week on satellite data that shows that the Ku-Maloob-Zaap oilfield leaked 44,064 tons of methane into the atmosphere over the course of 24 days in August. That’s the equivalent of 3.7 million tons of carbon dioxide—what 653,106 homes emit by using electricity over the course of one year.
