From a small California winery to a large-scale energy project in China, floating photovoltaics — or “floatovoltaics”— are gaining in popularity.

The renewable energy industry has experienced unprecedented growth over the past decade, driven by technological innovation, falling costs, public and private investment and international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Global emissions of carbon dioxide from industry can be reduced by five per cent. 

A new technique that uses soundwaves to separate materials for recycling could help prevent potentially harmful chemicals leaching into the environment. 

Scientists at Washington State University have found a new way to produce sugar from corn stalks and other crop waste, potentially opening a new pathway to sustainable biofuels.

As Europe increases its reliance on solar energy to meet climate and energy security targets, a growing atmospheric phenomenon is complicating the path forward: Saharan dust.

A novel design using pure platinum, graphene-protective layer and porous carbon support could enable fuel cells to power heavy-duty trucks reliably.

As global demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage surges, so does the need for affordable and sustainable battery technologies.

Two new studies suggest that devoting a small fraction of U.S. farmland to solar power would be a boon both for the energy system and for farmers themselves.

As farmers debate whether fields should be used for agriculture or solar panels, new research from Michigan State University says the answer could be both.
