Here at CleanTechnica, we have a habit of bagging on Toyota in recent years. Toyota was doing quite well a few years ago, pushing aggressively into hybrids when few other companies gave electrification the time of day. But, the company kind of got stuck there. As the rest of the … [continued]
Greenhouse gas emissions have to be sharply and rapidly cut, but some emissions are easier to cut than others, and some are going to persist for a long time. These are the basic facts behind the “net” of “net zero” — the mantra that has come to define the green … [continued]
Can Cooling Methods of the 1800s Advance Energy Storage Needs for a Clean Energy Future?
Editor’s Note: This article was updated in September 2023 with new findings from WRI’s dataset tracking electric school bus adoption in the United States, covering January to June 2023. Our new data dashboard, updated monthly, has the most recent data on electric school bus adoption. Previous versions of this article … [continued]
About 1.5 million Indigenous people reside in the forests of the Amazon in South America. Although deforestation and fires have eaten into this iconic forest in recent decades, Indigenous communities are helping protect some of its most intact parts. Standing, healthy forests breathe in carbon dioxide and store it in their trunks, … [continued]
To better understand important dynamics at play in flood-prone coastal areas, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists working on simulations of Earth’s carbon and nutrient cycles paid a visit to experimentalists gathering data in a Texas wetland. There, the return of a key mangrove species holds important clues to current and … [continued]
Pound for pound, HFCs are one of the most potent sources of climate pollution, and this is a significant step forward in reducing the products that use them. Climate-friendlier alternatives to these HFCs are available that make these products work as well as – or better than – before.
For space exploration and habitation, 3D printers could eventually use local material from the moon or Mars as a feedstock.
As current courses through a battery, its materials erode over time. Mechanical influences such as stress and strain affect this trajectory, although their impacts on battery efficacy and longevity are not fully understood. A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a framework … [continued]
Countries are setting records in deploying technologies such as solar power and electric vehicles (EVs), and the IEA now projects that demand for coal, oil, and natural gas will peak before 2030.
