How many fields of switchgrass and forests of trees would be needed to offset the energy produced by burning coal? A lot, it turns out.

Finance and energy experts propose test disclosure program.

Hydropower can generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gases but can cause environmental and social harms.

Wind turbines could cover 40 percent of the current electricity consumption in Germany.

A team of semiconductor researchers based in France has used a boron nitride separation layer to grow indium gallium nitride (InGaN) solar cells that were then lifted off their original sapphire substrate and placed onto a glass substrate.

Industrial hydrogen is closer to being produced more efficiently, thanks to findings outlined in a new paper published by Idaho National Laboratory researchers. In the paper, Dr. Dong Ding and his colleagues detailed advances in the production of hydrogen, which is used in oil refining, petrochemical manufacturing and as an eco-friendly fuel for transportation.

The quest to find new ways to harness solar power has taken a step forward after researchers successfully split water into hydrogen and oxygen by altering the photosynthetic machinery in plants.

Simulated on-road testing shows the engine maintains near-zero emissions during all duty cycles.

A solar cell developed by UCLA Engineering researchers converts 22.4 percent of incoming energy from the sun, a record for this type of cell.
