The cement industry produces around eight percent of global CO₂ emissions – more than the entire aviation sector worldwide. 

Every query typed into a large language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, requires energy and produces CO2 emissions. 

When Hurricane Fiona struck Puerto Rico in 2022, it exposed the vulnerabilities of the island’s energy infrastructure.

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new cooling technology that could significantly improve the energy efficiency of data centers and high-powered electronics. 

“Imagine if we could pull billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide directly from the air and transform it into sustainable fuels that power the world and slow climate change,” says Dr Sam Wenger, University of Sydney alumnus, Founder and CEO of Dac Labs.

In MIT Energy Initiative speaker series, Princeton Professor Emily Green explains the importance of climate change mitigation in the energy transition.

Wind energy is an important tool for reducing carbon emissions. Hundreds of thousands of wind turbines now operate globally, and despite recent challenges in some countries, analysts predict that wind power capacity could grow tenfold by 2050.

New research led by a Southwest Research Institute scientist identified a new source of energetic particles near the Sun.

New research from Colorado State University and Cornell University shows that the presence of solar panels in Colorado’s grasslands may reduce water stress, improve soil moisture levels and – particularly during dry years – increase plant growth by about 20% or more compared to open fields.

Below ocean wind farms, oil rigs and other offshore installations are mammoth networks of underwater structures, including pipelines, anchors, risers and cables, that are essential to harness the energy source.
