Researchers develop greener alternative to fossil fuels by producing hydrogen from water and light
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Chemistry have engineered silicon nanowires that can convert sunlight into electricity by splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, a greener alternative to fossil fuels.....»»
For developing world to quit coal, rich countries must eliminate oil and gas faster, says new study
Limiting how much coal countries can burn is considered an urgent priority for restraining global heating. After all, coal is the most carbon-rich of all fossil fuels and its combustion has contributed the most to planetary warming. For the first tim.....»»
Colorado ponders carbon storage in defunct oil and gas wells
From Colorado's high desert to the wooded hills of northwest Pennsylvania, millions of deserted oil and gas wells plunge thousands of feet into the earth after fossil fuels have been pumped out, combusted and released as carbon dioxide. They have lon.....»»

Fighting climate change: Photoinduced reduction of carbon dioxide to formic acid with ruthenium complexes
Climate change is a global environmental concern. A major contribution to climate change comes from excessive burning of fossil fuels. They produce carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. In this light, governments glob.....»»
Scientists probe the source of stochastic occurrence of super-knock in engines running on hydrogen/methane fuels
In a study published in Combustion and Flame, researchers investigated the impact of non-thermal reaction chemistry on the propagation of combustion fronts for a H2-CH4 fuel mixture burning in air within a bounded domain, representing an idealized en.....»»
Why this promising biofuel crop takes a summer break
Michigan State University researchers have solved a puzzle that could help switchgrass realize its full potential as a low-cost, sustainable biofuel crop and curb our dependence on fossil fuels......»»
Viewpoint: The world"s carbon price is a fraction of what we need, because only a fifth of global emissions are priced
At the end of last year, the world's average price to emit one ton of greenhouse gases was around US$5.29 (AU$7.77). For pricing to work as we want—to wean us off fossil fuels—it needs to be around $75 by the end of the decade, according to the I.....»»
LPG versus dirty fuel use in Ghana: Bring gas supplies closer to people and more of them will use it, says researcher
Hundreds of millions of people living in sub-Saharan Africa still use polluting cooking fuels. A recent survey across 33 countries in the region found that over 90% of households were found to use firewood, charcoal, or other heavily polluting fuel a.....»»
Offshore wind farm construction is noisy—but gadgets used to protect marine mammals are working
The European Union had 14.6 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy installed in 2021, and this is projected to increase by at least 25 times in the next ten years. While an expanding renewable energy sector is necessary to replace fossil fuels and sl.....»»
Old trees could become renewable fuels this Christmas
A new paper, published in the ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering journal, found that pine needles could be used to produce renewable fuels and value-added chemicals, such as preservatives used in agriculture, using only water as a solvent......»»
South Asian black carbon causes glacier loss on Tibetan Plateau
Black carbon aerosol is the product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, and has strong light absorption. Black carbon deposition in snow ice reduces the albedo of the snow ice surface, accelerating the melting of glaciers and snow c.....»»
Viewpoint: 3 reasons local climate activism is more powerful than people realize
Global warming has increased the number of extreme weather events around the world by 400% since the 1980s. Countries know how to stop the damage from worsening: stop burning fossil fuels and shift to renewable energy, electrify transportation and in.....»»
