Battery storage in the power sector was the fastest growing energy technology in 2023 that was commercially available, with deployment more than doubling year-on-year. Lithium-ion batteries dominate ...

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine resulted in the EU and the US quickly imposing sanctions on imports of Russian oil and gas. But sanctions on Russia’s nuclear exports have been far lighter because ...

Sustainable sources of carbon have to be short-cycle, meaning that the carbon was taken from the atmosphere either indirectly through photosynthetic plants (biomass) or directly using direct air ...

Sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, a much more abundant and cheaper alternative to the standard Lithium-ion, are on the verge of commercialisation, explain Carlos Ruiz, Martina Lyons, Isaac Elizondo ...

The world energy transition requires a global roll-out of clean hydrogen production in order to obtain the necessary volumes by 2030. OECD countries alone do not have the renewables resources needed ...

The U.S. Department of Energy has set a goal to make green hydrogen domestically at $1 per kilogram by 2030. Current costs range from $3 to $8 and none of it is being done at scale. Getting the cost ...

We expect drastic changes in the European nitrogen fertiliser industry in the coming years. Natural gas prices will remain elevated in Europe, and ambitious and costly decarbonisation policies are ...

Given that new nuclear projects have faced significant construction delays and cost overruns, France’s plan to build 14 new reactors by 2050 is unrealistic. Nuclear should continue playing a key role ...

To reach net zero by 2050, babies born today must have CO2 footprints ten times smaller over their lifetimes than their parents and grandparents. In rich countries it’ll be fifteen times, while in ...

Concrete manufacture is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions, with the ingredient “clinker” accounting for most of it. Global demand for cement (which hardens into concrete) is expected to ...

A separate emission trading system will be introduced for emissions currently not priced across the entire EU. This EU ETS II will include emissions from the building sector as well as from road ...

Universities worldwide still produce more workers for fossil fuels than for renewable energy industries. Roman Vakulchuk and Indra Overland at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs ...
