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

A new catalyst developed by University of Toronto researchers could make it cheaper and easier to produce hydrogen from water – a process some say is key to storing energy from renewable, but intermittent, sources like solar and wind.

Each year brings new research showing that oil and natural gas wells leak significant amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane.

Scientists at the University of Waterloo have created a powder that could capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from factories and power plants.

Syngas — a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide — is a cheaper alternative to fossil fuels and is produced in refinery equipment called fluidized beds.

Researchers at the University of Alberta have designed atomic-scale versions of the binary logic components that allow computer processors to perform complex operations.

Large wind turbines are becoming a common site on the vast Prairie landscape. And why not?

The U.S. Department of the Interior announced the Wolfcamp Shale and overlying Bone Spring Formation in the Delaware Basin portion of Texas and New Mexico’s Permian Basin province contain an estimated mean of 46.3 billion barrels of oil.

The air in Beijing is often very bad. The city sinks under a brown cover made of exhaust gases from industry, cars and coal fires, which blow a lot of harmful particulate matter, soot, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the air.

When deciding whether to participate in programs designed to conserve energy during peak hours, consumers appear to rely more on their intuition about how much money they’re saving rather than on proof their bills are smaller, a new study has found.
