A fascinating lamp design uses living algae to produce an electricity-free glow and could absorb as much carbon as 200 trees a year.
If scientists can figure out how to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into fuel - and do it at an industrial scale - it would, quite literally, change the world.
The deal encourages airlines to buy credits through global carbon markets to offset their emissions.
As electric and hybrid cars steadily become more popular, MIT thought they would double check the numbers and see just how economic low-emission cars are.
The first batch of low-carbon jet fuel derived from waste industrial gases from steel mills has been produced for use by UK long-haul carrier Virgin Atlantic, with flight trials scheduled to start in 2017.
Since 2011 the two companies have been committed to producing the world’s first jet fuel derived from waste industrial gases from steel mills via a fermentation process.
In what's being seen as a huge step forward in the effort to curb climate-warming emissions, the United States and China have ratified the Paris global climate agreement. Other countries are now expected to follow suit.
Scientists have engineered a bacterium that can take carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into fuel in a single enzymatic step.
New law requires the US economic powerhouse to cut its emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030
Scientists believe they've found a way to convert all these emissions into energy-rich fuel in a carbon-neutral cycle that uses a very abundant natural resource: silicon.
From deep inside a Siberian mine, researchers have cataloged a series of materials unlike any others yet found in the ground. They do, however, bear a startling similarity to certain lab-grown materials that weren't thought to exist in nature at all - until now.
Researchers have long tried to find simple ways to convert this greenhouse gas into fuels and other useful chemicals. Now, engineers has developed a technique powered by renewable energies such as solar or wind.
On Monday the Environmental Protection Agency in USA announced that it will use its authority under the Clean Air Act to impose limits on aircraft emissions, and begin the process of regulating emissions from airplane exhaust.
Impressive as its scale is, size is among the least important things about the Gigafactory. The shift for large scale manufacturing is what is truly gargantuan. Tesla is reinventing mass production for the first time in a century.
Three-quarters of UK construction companies now operate a low carbon or carbon reduction strategy, a new survey has shown.
