Penn State researchers say increasing the time gas molecules come in contact with shale oil would greatly increase oil yields in unconventional oil extraction in shale regions.

India will auction off 40 gigawatts (GW) of solar and wind capacity every year until 2028, part of the country’s goal to produce 40 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, Anand Kumar, head of India’s New and Renewable Energy Ministry, announced last week.

World’s ~16,000 desalination plants discharge 142 million cubic meters of brine daily — 50% more than previously estimated; Enough in a year to cover Florida under a foot (30.5 cm) of brine.

A new computational model could potentially boost efficiencies and profits in natural gas production by better predicting previously hidden fracture mechanics.

Ammonia, a compound first synthesized about a century ago, has dozens of modern uses and has become essential in making the fertilizer that now sustains most of our global food production.

A chemical reaction pathway central to plant biology has been adapted to form the backbone of a new process that converts water into hydrogen fuel using energy from the sun.

From boat enthusiasts to anglers, researchers at the University of New Hampshire have found surprisingly widespread support for offshore wind energy development (OWD) among outdoor recreationists.

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) researchers estimate that installing floating solar photovoltaics on the more than 24,000 man-made U.S. reservoirs could generate about 10 percent of the nation’s annual electricity production. Their findings, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, reveal for the first time the potential for floating PV to produce electricity in the United States.

A computational modeling method developed at the University of Pittsburgh may help to fast-track the identification and design of new carbon capture and storage materials for use by the nation’s coal-fired power plants.

When hydropower runs low in a drought, western states tend to ramp up power generation – and emissions – from fossil fuels.
