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.

Oil rig workers have to avoid hazards to themselves and the environment. If an oil spill happens and you are on the job this is what you need to do.

Save energy and carbon emissions with a smart thermostat

A common material called a zeolite might lead to breakthroughs in energy storage

A short train ride from Cologne or Dusseldorf, the first international NRW HY Summit 2022 will take place in Duisburg and Essen in the North Rhine-Westphalia state of Germany from November 8th to 10th. Attendants can immerse themselves in the world of hydrogen onsite as well as virtually and learn everything about the future of the planet’s smallest element. 

The Future Investment Initiative, nicknamed Davos of the Desert, is opening Tuesday today, but US officials will be absent.

Lebanon is facing a severe energy crisis forcing people to run private generators for switching on light bulbs and refrigerators. But people have started to turn to the sun.

New landscaping tips, like xeroscaping to up your eco

Masdar, a renewable energy company that built the net-zero energy city under its namesake, along with Hassan Allam Utilities, are investing in the future of renewable energy. They announced just now that they will develop green hydrogen production plants in the Suez Canal Economic Zone and on the Mediterranean coast.  

With the Middle East’s bountiful amounts of sunshine, solar energy is a prominent resource and wind, with Saudi Arabia’s $500 million Dumat Al-Jandal wind farm breaking ground in 2020. It may seem counterintuitive to find a region with so many natural gas and oil stores pivoting to renewable energy, but while these energy methods are finite, creating sustainable technology will create lasting energy solutions for the future. 

In recent years sustainability has become increasingly more important. It’s on the forefront of many people’s minds and large companies have had little choice but to implement changes in their businesses to meet the demands of consumers, and startups are paying attention.
