A Brazilian petrochemical company called Petrobras wants to drill exploratory oil wells in the ocean near the mouth of the Amazon. Scientists worry if the plan gets approved it could damage the second-largest mangrove forest in the world.
In today’s world, renewable energy is seen as a beacon of hope for sustainable development. But myths and misconceptions surrounding it are widespread. It’s time to set the record straight: renewable energy is viable and necessary for us to meet global climate goals.
Researchers from Tel Aviv University have succeeded in producing “green” hydrogen using green electricity — The hydrogen is produced without air pollution, with a high level of efficiency, utilizing a biocatalyst
This story is about Sonya Davidson and her company, H2 Energy Now. H2 Energy Now is a company that developed a technology that can store renewable energy by converting hydrogen into electricity
A career in international environmental law not only creates a cleaner environment but also creates a better society and a more resilient economy. Gidon Bromberg, for example, strives to make EcoPeace the example of what we can and should seek for international environmental law-related solutions.
Solar panels are changing lives in Lebanon. People are going "green" without even realizing it.
Germany, one of the world’s leafing producers of clean, renewable energy has officially shut down its last nuclear reactor last month. On the flip-side, Turkey, the world’s most liberal Muslim country, has fired up its first.
The industrial sector is one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases. The decarbonization of industry is therefore a major challenge in the fight against climate change.
Hydrogen is used for space travel and other specialized applications but it has not yet replaced fossil fuels in electricity generation, consumer or freight transportation. That may be about to change thanks to these breakthroughs in hydrogen technology.
Lebanese authorities have failed to uphold the right to electricity by mismanaging the sector for decades, Human Rights Watch said in a scathing report released this month.
Thanks to Abu Dhabi's renewable energy company Masdar, of which zero-energy city Masdar is also named energy-poor Jordan gets a new project under the sun. This month Masdar officially cut the ribbon and inaugurated the Baynouna Solar Park in the Middle East country of Jordan.
LLNL showed that a laser confinement fusion power is possible even if it isn’t practical until it can target its lasers at more than one peppercorn for longer than a ten-billionth of a second.
But what if we didn’t have to split hydrogen from oxygen? What if there were places like the coal mine Mendeleev studied in Ukraine with an even higher percentage of hydrogen? Like the chemical patterns revealed in Mendeleev’s dream, so-called geologic hydrogen was there all along but we weren’t looking for it, or we were looking in the wrong places.
Let’s be optimistic. Maybe there is a way to sneak around that third law of physics, a trick to hide the carbon from mother nature.
A two-letter typo led to a $500 million nuclear accident that exposed 22 people to radioactive contamination.
