A free digital tool from the University of Alaska Fairbanks gives users a comprehensive look at energy systems in Alaska’s microgrid communities.

For the first time, scientists have used ultraviolet (UV) light, a low-cost and readily available energy source, to successfully synthesise more sustainable and recyclable polymer materials.

A growing proportion of the UK’s energy infrastructure is located at sea, in the form of oil and gas platforms and offshore wind farms along with the connecting cables and pipelines.

Flue gas is exhausted from home furnaces, fireplaces and even industrial plants, and it carries polluting carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere.

Solar panels and wind turbines increasingly dot the landscape, but the future of clean energy may well depend on how smoothly we burn hydrogen.

Solar panels on bodies of water in the northeastern U.S. might generate renewable energy but could also carry risks for birds, especially water birds.

Green hydrogen produced using solar and wind power would be cheaper to produce at more southerly latitudes than in the Nordic region. 

Many people are optimistic about ammonia’s potential as an energy source and carrier of hydrogen, and though large-scale adoption would require major changes to the way it is currently manufactured, ammonia does have a number of advantages.

Researchers have developed a heat storage unit that takes up less space than a regular hot water tank.

A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have presented a new way to produce hydrogen gas without the scarce and expensive metal platinum.
