Many speak fondly of how Barry Dwolatzky took them into a derelict disco and enthusiastically explained the tech co-working space he envisioned there.
Solar power is growing at 20% a year. That simple fact could change the world for the better in under a decade
Shipping companies have billions invested in fleets that were built to last decades. Now, the US is calling for zero emissions by 2050, and the EU is raising the cost of fossil fuel use.
Reducing gas use in our homes will help avoid energy price hikes. But where is the best place to start?
Electric cars are now appearing on Australian roads. But can electric utes meet the more exacting needs of our tradies?
The current energy transition could herald a new copper world. But will it be a long-anticipated resource blessing or yet another global scramble for the precious metal?
Energy companies have marketed natural gas as cooks’ favorite for years because homes with gas hookups will also use it for space and water heating.
Hydrogen cars were heralded as an avenue towards universal green motoring, but progress has stalled in recent years.
Experts say greater use of renewable energy via solar photovoltaic and hydro power is the best route to universal access to electricity in Togo.
Air Canada and United Airlines both have orders for hybrid electric 30-seaters. An aerospace engineer explains where electrification, hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels are headed.
Coal plants are exiting the grid faster than expected. We’ll need to redouble efforts to add flexibility into our energy systems and build renewables and storage.
Five essential reads on why South Africa is failing to keep the lights on.
Many people want to know about practical suggestions to help slow climate change. Effective action starts at home.
Bidirectional charging is the next big stage for electric vehicles. But storing power in your car and sending it back to your house involves more than flipping a switch.
Electricity, not what the EU calls ‘renewable gases’, offer the fastest route to decarbonising heating.
Fusion seems nearer than ever - but it won’t be the silver bullet to stop climate change.
A decade ago, solar power was a tiny sliver of the US energy supply. Today it’s expanding rapidly – and the Biden administration wants to make it much, much bigger.
