Soaring gasoline costs drove European car buyers to choose electric vehicles in record numbers this March, marking a turning point after months of global decline. Over 540,000 EVs were registered across Europe, a 37% jump from last year.
Florida surged to third place nationally in solar energy production, with enough capacity to power 2.4 million homes. The Sunshine State's clean energy boom is helping families slash electric bills while building a cleaner future.
Eastern Germany just completed a decades-long project to transform abandoned coal mines into Europe's largest artificial lake system. The 23-lake complex rivals Italy's Lake Como in size and turns industrial scars into swimming beaches and boat routes.
A heavily promoted climate technology is proving too costly and ineffective to deploy at scale. Scientists say the failure is actually steering investment toward better solutions.
Two shipping giants just locked in a five-year deal that will slash over 1 million tonnes of carbon emissions from air cargo flights. The partnership proves that sustainable fuel can work at massive scale.
A new study shows ships running on liquified natural gas now cut greenhouse emissions by up to 29% compared to traditional diesel fuel. The improvement marks major progress in cleaning up the maritime industry, which moves 90% of global trade.
A breakthrough study shows ships running on liquefied natural gas can slash greenhouse gas emissions by up to 29% compared to traditional fuel. The finding marks a major step forward for cleaning up the shipping industry.
A fusion energy startup just signed a major deal with the only lab to prove fusion can produce more power than it consumes. The partnership could bring clean, unlimited energy closer to reality.
An Australian company just cleared a major hurdle to bring battery-swapping technology to California's busiest ports. The breakthrough could help clean up some of America's dirtiest trucking routes.
A water efficiency law transformed American bathrooms three decades ago, saving enough water to fill millions of Olympic pools. Now experts celebrate the progress while newer innovations promise even more conservation ahead.
Before air conditioning, Indian homes stayed naturally cool using a traditional design called thinnai. This forgotten architectural feature combined smart materials with community living.
A billion-dollar climate technology that looked promising on paper turned out to make emissions worse, not better. Scientists just proved we dodged a costly bullet by not building it everywhere.
A simple aluminum tube invented in the early 1900s remains one of the most powerful tools scientists use to predict water shortages and manage drought across the American West. Now, as climate change makes snow prediction harder, this century-old technology is more vital than ever.
Students from Singapore, India, and Indonesia spent nine months creating AI tools that fight climate change, from apps that help cyclists avoid heat to flood prediction systems. Their work is now being considered for real-world use across the region.
The expensive carbon capture technology that climate models relied on to save the planet isn't happening, and scientists say that's a win. Bioenergy with carbon capture would have made emissions worse for decades while costing taxpayers billions.
Scientists at MIT have developed an electricity-powered method to reverse ocean acidification in oyster hatcheries, protecting shellfish without using any chemicals. The breakthrough is already helping Maine's $60 billion global aquaculture industry thrive.
A coalition of 16 environmental groups is urging Canada's government to finally deliver its promised clean energy strategy that would connect the country's power grid and create tens of thousands of jobs. The plan could solve energy affordability challenges while boosting independence from fossil fuels.
A new partnership between Switzerland and Brazil is offering funding and mentorship to startups creating sustainable solutions for the Amazon rainforest. The program connects European innovation with local knowledge to tackle climate change while boosting the region's economy.
NASA satellites watching Earth every night for nine years just revealed something unexpected: our planet isn't just getting brighter. From energy-saving LED lights dimming European cities to gas flares lighting up Texas oil fields, the world's energy story is more complex and hopeful than scientists thought.
An electric vehicle startup just raised $650 million to build an affordable pickup truck starting in the mid-$20,000s, potentially making EVs accessible to millions more Americans. Pre-orders open in June, with the first deliveries expected later this year.
