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.

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

A research team from the Threatened Species Recovery Hub has made a breakthrough that could help dwindling numbers of Australian freshwater fish species.

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.

Researchers have developed a new way to make low-cost, single-atom catalysts for fuel cells — an advance that could make important clean energy technology more economically viable.

Study finds lost revenue can be millions of dollars annually, suggests ways to quantify haze-related reductions in solar panel output.

It may seem off-putting to some, but human waste is full of nutrients that can be recycled into valuable products that could promote agricultural sustainability and better economic independence for some developing countries.

Can a new type of transparent gel, made from readily-available beer waste, help engineers build greenhouses on Mars?

A large photovoltaic canopy on the top deck of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s main parking structure and several rooftop systems that will generate about 2 megawatts (MW) of electricity is part of new renewable energy project to boost the campus toward its net-zero goal of generating as much electricity as it uses.

The construction and operation of all kinds of buildings uses vast amounts of energy and natural resources. Researchers around the world have therefore been seeking ways to make buildings more efficient and less dependent on emissions-intensive materials.
