Without greater action, the planet will warm as much as 3.1 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, according to the latest United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Emissions Gap Report: No more hot air … please!. In the coming round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), countries must commit to slashing their collective yearly greenhouse […]
The five biggest countries in the European Union spend 42 billion euros each year on subsidizing fossil-fuel-powered company cars, a new study commissioned by Transport & Environment (T&E) says. The report by Environmental Resources Management (ERM), “Company car fossil fuel subsidies in Europe,” called for increased subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs). “This is completely illogical […]
The International Energy Agency (IEA)’s latest World Energy Outlook (WEO) describes the global energy system in 2030 as one in which clean energy technologies play an ever-increasing role. The report says the future of global energy will include nearly 10 times more electric cars worldwide, solar generating more electricity, low-emissions energy sources supplying more than […]
China’s CRRC Corporation Limited (CRRC) has developed the “most powerful” floating offshore wind turbine in the world, according to state news agency Xinhua. The turbine was produced in Yancheng city in Jiangsu Province and has a 20-megawatt (MW) generating capacity. The massive turbine has the ability to generate 62 million kilowatt hours of power annually, […]
With solar leading the way, renewables are on track to generate nearly 50 percent of global electricity this decade. But green energy is still predicted to fall short of the United Nations target of tripling capacity, according to Renewables 2024: Analysis and forecast to 2030, a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). More than […]
Chinese scientists have developed a transpiration energy generator capable of creating electricity using lotus leaves. The generator could turn nearly all leaves on the planet into a continuous and sustainable source of energy. The researchers said their discovery of the leaf transpiration’s hydrovoltaic effect provided “fresh perspective for advancing green energy technologies,” as the South […]
The energy goals established last year at the United Nations’ COP28 climate conference held in Dubai of tripling renewable energy capacity worldwide by 2030 and slashing fossil fuel use are possible, according to a new International Energy Agency (IEA) report. The report, From Taking Stock to Taking Action: How to implement the COP28 energy goals, […]
Canada’s carbon emissions are down for the first time since the pandemic, according to a 2023 estimate from publicly funded think tank the Canadian Climate Institute. The drop of 0.8 percent between 2022 and 2023 brings the total reduction since the baseline year of 2005 to eight percent — a long way from the 2030 […]
According to a new report by Rystad Energy, converting production facilities for upstream oil and gas so that they are powered by electricity fueled by renewable sources or natural gas that would have otherwise been burned and flared could eliminate more than 80 percent of the sector’s associated emissions. In the Norwegian Continental Shelf, oil […]
