50 h. ago How to include fossil fuel communities in Canada's clean energy transition

Fossil fuel-dependent communities in Western Canada sit at the center of Canada's energy decisions. A just and inclusive clean energy transition will depend on how well governments listen to these communities and how fast they deal with the forces working to slow down energy decarbonization.

7 d. ago Unlocking vast lithium stores: Faster, cleaner method extracts critical mineral from low

Demand for lithium is skyrocketing as factories across the world churn out electric vehicles and the massive batteries that make wind turbines and solar panels reliable sources of energy. Unfortunately, current methods for producing lithium are slow and require high-quality feedstocks that are found in relatively few locations on the planet. Ironically, the environmental costs are also significant: refining the mineral behind clean energy requires large amounts of land and pollutes water supplies that local communities depend on.

7 d. ago America's next big clean energy resource could come from coal mine pollution, if we can agree on who owns it

Across Appalachia, rust-colored water seeps from abandoned coal mines, staining rocks orange and coating stream beds with metals. These acidic discharges, known as acid mine drainage, are among the region's most persistent environmental problems. They disrupt aquatic life, corrode pipes and can contaminate drinking water for decades.

The war in Ukraine sent shockwaves through Europe's energy system, exposing how deeply the region depends on imported natural gas, and how vulnerable that dependence can be during geopolitical crises. A new Cornell-led study finds that Europe could sharply reduce that vulnerability while accelerating climate action by expanding renewable energy and clean technologies already within reach.

A new set of simple equations can fast-track the search for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a Nobel-Prize-winning class of nanoporous materials that are promising candidates for clean hydrogen energy storage. With millions of possible MOFs to choose from, the formulas accurately predict how much usable hydrogen each porous crystal can hold, according to a new University of Michigan study.

1 week ago The UK's offshore wind auction broke records, but its clean power target remains unrealistic

The UK government has just announced the results of its biggest-ever auction for new offshore wind projects. By doubling the budget at the eleventh hour, it managed to award contracts for a massive 8.4 gigawatts of new capacity. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband described it as "a monumental step toward clean power by 2030."
