Biofuel experts have long sought a more economically viable way to turn algae into biocrude oil to power vehicles, ships and even jets.

All rooftop solar panels look pretty much the same from the outside: same size, same thickness and even the same installation system.

In the fight to slow climate change, nature is a powerful weapon.

To stabilize the Earth’s climate for people and ecosystems, it is imperative to ramp up natural climate solutions and, at the same time, accelerate mitigation efforts across the energy and industrial sectors, according to a new policy perspective published today in Science. 

The rooftops of Calgary are one hot commodity when it comes to solar panel potential, suggests a new study from the Schulich School of Engineering.

How much land will a carbon-free electricity system require?

Today’s data centers eat up and waste a good amount of energy responding to user requests as fast as possible, with only a few microseconds delay. 

In the United States, the removal of dams now outpaces the construction of new ones—with more than 1,400 dams decommissioned since the 1970s—and a new study (link is external) suggests that the ecosystem effects of dam removal can be predicted.

Fossil fuel combustion is the main contributor to black carbon collected at five sites around the Arctic, which has implications for global warming, according to a study by an international group of scientists that included a team from Baylor University.

Coal-fired power plants produce more than just the carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming.
