A breakthrough in creating high temperature superconductors could yield faster development of nascent fusion energy which has been positioned as carbon-free alternative for energy generation.
Spain is due to close most of its coal mines by the end of 2018. Current Spanish government has rapidly reformed environmental policy and announced the launch of a long-delayed national climate plan.
At a power plant in Linköping, Sweden, a municipal government company is burning rubbish to turn waste into energy. This is one of Sweden’s 34 plants that uses rubbish instead of coal or gas for heat and electricity.
The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator is close to hitting sustainable nuclear fusion (generating more energy than is initially required to start the reaction).
Known as the Active Classroom, the energy-producing classroom stands as a shining example of what is possible as the U.K. and other nations attempt to transform their energy systems in response to climate change.
Last year, the world invested more in solar power than in all fossil-fuel sources combined. “We are at a turning point … from fossil fuels to the renewable world,” UN Environment head Erik Solheim told.
MIT has announced yesterday that it is working with a new private company to make nuclear fusion finally happen.
Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson believes man should harness the power of hurricanes for good rather than run from them.
A new electrochemical energy harvesting device can generate electrical current from the full range of human motions and is thin enough to embed in clothing.
The plunging cost of wind and solar power mean they will provide a third of the world’s electricity in about 25 years, a leading analysis firm has predicted.
Customers are encouraged to physically create energy in exchange for speciality coffees – no cash accepted.
Chemical engineers program yeast to convert plant sugars into oils.
Researchers in South Korea achieved a major breakthrough last week when they maintained ‘high performance’ plasma in a stable state for 70 seconds.
New tests verify that Germany's Wendelstein 7-X fusion energy device is on track to safely suspend plasma in magnetic fields.
An entirely new kind of electrical generation system could create abundant clean energy and also dispose of nuclear waste.
