Getting to Zero, a new series in The Conversation starting today, examines how – and whether – Australia can meet its net zero emissions target by 2050.
Holding climate change to 1.5 might be possible – but in the best case, we’ll blow past the limit first and then backpedal.
The government wants offshore wind to form the backbone of the UK’s future electricity system – but a key auction has delivered no new projects.
We’ve wasted a lot of time delaying climate action. As the damage becomes ever clearer, it’s time to accelerate the transition.
Despite the meteoric rise of wind and solar, fossil energy sources have met most new demand in fast-growing economies.
The federal government has been challenged to provide $100 billion over the next ten years to boost the renewables sector. But will policymakers respond to the challenge?
Lithium-ion batteries are holding back the full-scale decarbonization of Canada’s energy grid. Zinc-ion batteries may be the solution.
Tandem solar cells promise to revolutionise the clean energy transition – but a shortage of materials means they must urgently be redesigned.
Our research has found 30,000 farm dams which could be used as energy storage. Solar by day, hydro by night.
Using agricultural land for both solar and food production presents huge opportunities for Canadian farmers, especially in Alberta.
Our carbon budget is shrinking fast. We crunched the data to find pathways for G20 nations to act faster
There’s a consensus that extreme hydrological events will increase throughout the continent. This will lead to growing issues with power system reliability.
In some cases, adding a battery to your rooftop solar system will pay off. But to be sure of this, households need information about many factors – and there’s no single reliable place to find it.
New research has found that bats avoid solar farms – but the findings should not hinder the transition to renewable energy.
The BlackRock climate fund is a start, but New Zealand needs a comprehensive approach to tackling its various environmental and economic vulnerabilities to the climate crisis.
The ban on gas connections to new homes in Victoria reflects global trends and will ultimately save households money and cut their emissions.
Australia has a lot of wind and sun, but will we actually become a world leader in renewable energy generation?
Victoria has a plan for the state to electrify, but how do we make the transition fair and equitable for everyone? New research suggests a way forward.
China is a major investor in Latin America’s renewable energy and critical minerals like lithium, but countries like Chile are also taking steps to secure their own clean energy future.
