Around 90 percent of U.S. households would save on fuel costs by buying an electric car rather than a gas-powered car, according to new research.

An international team of researchers is applying artificial intelligence techniques to design energy-efficient district heat pump systems that better serve human needs and behaviors while reducing the carbon footprint of buildings.

Scientists with NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission have uncovered significant new clues about the origins of the solar wind – a continual stream of charged particles released from the Sun that fills the solar system.

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, developed the system, which can convert two waste streams into two chemical products at the same time – the first time this has been achieved in a solar-powered reactor.

Global warming is partly due to the vast amount of carbon dioxide that we release, mostly from power generation and industrial processes, such as making steel and cement. 

New research led by UTS demonstrates environmental benefits of geothermal technology and sustainable design.

ESA's novel Aeolus satellite reliably measures wind speed also in higher air layers and thus in a region of the atmosphere where other direct global wind measurements are relatively sparse. 

It can be easy to assume that the vast stretches of desert in southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado are mostly barren landscapes — but in truth, the sagebrush-strewn Colorado Plateau is awash with treasure.

Research led by University of Queensland (UQ) and including the University of Göttingen analysed the effects of decarbonisation strategies by linking global resource inventories with demographic systems to generate a matrix showing the risks and benefits.

Industrial-scale injection of gases into geological rock reservoirs is of increasing importance for the energy sector for uses ranging from flushing out remaining fossil fuels to locking away CO2 emissions and preventing them from contributing to climate change.
