Thermoelectric power generators that make electrical power from waste heat would be a useful tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if it weren’t for a most vexing problem: the need to make electrical contacts to their hot side, which is often just too hot for materials that can generate a current.

The Annual Greenhouse Gas Index is updated each spring after nearly all the air samples collected during the previous year have been obtained and analyzed.

The energy available from sunlight is 10,000 times more than what is needed to supply the world's energy demands. 

With a global impetus toward utilizing more renewable energy sources, wind presents a promising, increasingly tapped resource.

Climate-related temperature rises will further increase the cooling demand of buildings. 

In a world hungry for cheaper, more efficient renewable energy, Australian researchers have served up a treat.

A global effort to reduce sulfur and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships has researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and other Department of Energy facilities investigating the potential use of marine biofuels.

The way in which banks react to climate risks and uncertainty could impact financial stability as well as the world’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

Greenhouse gases and aerosol pollution emitted by human activities are responsible for increases in the frequency, intensity and duration of droughts around the world, according to researchers at the University of California, Irvine.
