Sustainable Energy Is There a Better Way to Sequester Carbon Dioxide Hiding in Plain Sight? Natural carbon sequestration in the mountains of Oman could help scientists develop new ways to store the greenhouse gas underground. by Jamie Condliffe 2017-04-13T11:50:00-04:00
Sustainable Energy What If There Were a Moore’s Law for Reducing Carbon Emissions? Researchers hope that a simple rule could help governments around the world achieve the goal of zero emissions. by Jamie Condliffe 2017-03-24T13:45:00-04:00
Sustainable Energy Carbon Dioxide Emissions Are Flat for a Third Year Running, but the Economy Continues to Grow Further proof that economic growth doesn’t require an increase in greenhouse gases. by Jamie Condliffe 2017-03-17T15:45:00-04:00
Sustainable Energy Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Have Become Top Carbon Polluters For the first time in decades, more carbon emissions will come from transportation than from coal- and gas-fired power plants. by Mike Orcutt 2016-09-25T00:00:00-04:00
Sustainable Energy A Power Plant in Iceland Deals with Carbon Dioxide by Turning It into Rock Reykjavík Energy’s CarbFix project has found that carbon dioxide injected into volcanic bedrock rapidly turns into minerals that stay locked away permanently. by Ryan Cross 2016-06-09T14:45:00-04:00
Sustainable Energy Why Solar Power Could Hit a Ceiling In the absence of energy storage, solar energy can’t grow without decreasing its own value. by Mike Orcutt 2015-11-30T15:47:00-05:00
Sustainable Energy Is the Carbon Tax Dead? The idea has been around for decades. Economists love it. But only 15 governments worldwide have it. by Peter Fairley 2015-07-01T15:01:00-04:00
Sustainable Energy China Could Deliver on Its Carbon Promise Earlier than Expected China may put a stop to growing carbon dioxide emissions earlier than expected, but how quickly they start coming down is also important. by Mike Orcutt 2014-11-18T11:36:00-05:00
Sustainable Energy Blame the Weather for Last Year’s Rise in U.S. Carbon Dioxide Emissions Carbon emissions have been trending downward, but not quickly enough to offset fluctuations in weather patterns. by Mike Orcutt 2014-10-28T11:25:00-04:00
Sustainable Energy Selling Teslas in China Won’t Do Much for the Environment Because China relies so heavily on coal for power, electric vehicles aren’t necessarily an improvement over gasoline-powered cars. by Mike Orcutt 2014-04-17T00:00:00-04:00
