Renewable electrolytic hydrogen produced by using electricity drawn from wind and solar sources delivers its greatest societal value when applied to steelmaking, transoceanic shipping and long-haul heavy-duty trucking, according to University of California, Irvine researchers.

Despite regional variability in climate, electricity sources, congestion, and the wide variation in individual driving patterns, electric vehicles generate less greenhouse gas emissions and do not cost more than comparable gas-powered vehicles for drivers and vehicle fleet owners in most parts of the United States, according to a new study by MIT researchers.

The research originated in a project aimed at developing biofuels for ships but has since evolved into an environmentally friendly method for wood preservation.

Robotically assembled building blocks could be a more environmentally friendly method for erecting large-scale structures than some existing construction techniques, according to a new study by MIT researchers.

The Center for Coastal Climate Resilience (CCCR) at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has partnered with The Nature Conservancy to develop a new tool for funding wetland conservation and restoration projects through verifiable “Coastal Resilience Assets.”

When ecologist Patrick Sullivan flew into the Salmon River in Alaska to conduct a vegetation study in the summer of 2019, he was excited about paddling down the pristine Arctic river. Before he and his colleague got there, however, the pilot warned that they might not see what John McPhee had described, in his best-selling book Coming Into the Country, as the “purest water I have ever seen.”

The Expanse supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences has played an important role in helping researchers design the next generation of batteries that could make large‑scale energy storage cheaper and more sustainable.

The research, led by the University of Bristol in collaboration with international scientists and published in PNAS today [insert date], analysed more than 900 fossil deep-sea stony corals collected from depths of up to 1,000 metres.

University of Birmingham weather experts are working with the Gallagher Research Centre (GRC) on a three-year project to understand how European windstorm clustering patterns are varying from year to year and during a winter season.

Europe’s oldest offshore wind turbines are now being dismantled, after having delivered clean energy since the early 1990s.
