Like Paris 2024, the Milan-Cortina Winter Games aim to set an example in terms of sustainability, but their implementation comes with its own set of challenges.
Aqueous redox flow batteries may be able to store and release renewable energy for decades.
Utilizing carbon contracts for difference mechanisms could help the federal government maintain its climate policies. But overly relying on these tools brings its own risks.
A recent study found one billion people are likely to die prematurely by the end of the century from climate change. Here are seven energy policies that could save their lives.
Industry is a leading climate polluter: Our road map shows what’s needed to cut industrial emissions in fast-growing countries.
New research reveals the environmental impact of keeping tropical fish as household pets – but there are ways to reduce it.
Lithium-ion batteries are holding back the full-scale decarbonization of Canada’s energy grid. Zinc-ion batteries may be the solution.
Solar power is growing at 20% a year. That simple fact could change the world for the better in under a decade
Two billion to subsidise green hydrogen sounds like a lot. But the world is racing ahead and we’re still at the starting line.
The criticisms faced by ESG projects are indicative of the growing polarization in the future profitability of the fossil fuel sector.
Canada has no choice but to adapt its energy sources and industries in a ‘just transition.’ If it doesn’t, the inevitable transition will be much more disruptive — and much less just.
Policies that encourage the use of low-carbon technology like heat pumps can help motivate residents to decarbonize their homes.

A different future will not be possible without reverence, respect, reciprocity and responsibility towards the Earth. On this issue, Indigenous Peoples have a lot to share.
Fossil fuel companies are winning the battle on how we talk about natural gas expansion by referring to it as a “bridge fuel” or an essential bridge to the net-zero energy system of the future.
Cement is responsible for more than 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Its emissions doubled over the past two decades, and demand is still rising fast.
