Research scientists can now predict the threshold at which an oil reservoir will produce sand – and may collapse.

The latest issue of The Takeaway explores the financial implications of coal-to-gas fuel switching in U.S. power plants.

Suitable geological formations exist on Earth to easily store enough carbon dioxide to meet a global goal of capturing and storing sufficient C02 to provide 13 percent of worldwide emissions cuts by 2050, according to a new study.

The global low-carbon revolution could be at risk unless new international agreements and governance mechanisms are put in place to ensure a sustainable supply of rare minerals and metals, a new academic study has warned.

Scientists have long recognized the potential to generate renewable energy from the world’s oceans by harnessing the power of tides and waves.

A solar energy material that is remarkably durable and affordable is regrettably also unusable if it barely generates electricity, thus many researchers had abandoned emerging organic solar technologies.

Natural environmental processes—not upstream energy projects—are the primary cause of changing flood patterns in Alberta’s Athabasca Delta, new research shows.

Global demand for coal is expected to remain largely stable through 2024, driven by robust economic growth and the construction of new coal-fired power plants in Asia, particularly in China and India, according to new data from the International Energy Agency.

An analysis led by an Institute at Brown for Environment and Society visiting professor found that oil companies ramp up advertising campaigns when they face negative media coverage or new regulations.

MIT study finds that challenges in measuring and mitigating leakage of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, prove pivotal.
