Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emissions is considered one of the key tools for fighting climate change. However, today’s carbon capture technologies are often expensive, energy-intensive, and difficult to expand on a large scale. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a promising new approach that could make carbon capture more efficient and flexible in […] The post MIT scientist…

This study evaluates the fuel properties and energy performance of hydrochar produced through co-hydrothermal carbonization (Co-HTC) of swine manure (SM) and coffee waste (CW). Reaction temperature (160 °C, 200 °C, 240 °C) and SM:CW mixing ratio (1:1, 3:1, 5:1) were varied to examine their effects on carbonization behavior, energy densification, and combustion characteristics. The hydrochar yield…

Sustainable roofing is not a trend, but a performance upgrade. Your roof controls how much heat enters the attic, how moisture moves, and how steady your indoor temperature feels. When that top layer runs hotter than it should, your AC works harder. When it leaks air in winter, your heating system pays for it. The...

Nature Sustainability, Published online: 02 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41893-026-01853-4 Renewable wind energy can aid decarbonization efforts; however, the impacts of wind turbines on migrating birds remain unclear. The authors study the potential risks of wind energy installations on migrating bird populations across Western Europe and assess potential trade-offs between wind energy and conservati…

Nature Sustainability, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41893-026-01848-1 Decarbonizing aviation is critical for global sustainability. The authors show a circular hydrothermal refinery transforming food waste into a 100% drop-in sustainable aviation fuel rich in cycloalkanes.

Nature Sustainability, Published online: 28 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41893-026-01844-5 This Review shifts the focus of research on perovskite solar cells from efficiency to industrial reliability, scalability and circularity, providing a strategic roadmap for sustainable manufacturing by analysing life-cycle impacts and fail-safe scaling strategies.

Nature Sustainability, Published online: 04 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41893-026-01849-0 Electrochemical carbon monoxide (CO) reduction offers a viable approach to sustainable ethylene production, but remains challenging under low CO availability. This study shows how to achieve efficient and selective ethylene synthesis in a CO-starved environment.

A study led by researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso concludes that solar panels in Alamogordo, New Mexico--a region frequently affected by dust storms carrying particles from the White Sands gypsum dune field--lose only about 2% to 3% of their power output because of dust accumulation, a rate far lower than that of solar facilities in comparable desert regions worldwide.

At a White House briefing on Thursday, President Donald Trump invoked a national defense law to steer nearly $700 million to support coal power plants and exports. Trump aims to use the 1950 Defense Production Act to refurbish 13 coal plants, build two new ones and establish a West Coast coal export facility in the U.S.—even as many coal plants around the country are retiring and the fossil fuel …

Energy security doesn’t just power economies; it defines alliances. Few nations understand this better than Japan. With scarce domestic resources and deep import dependence, the country knows firsthand how vulnerable it is to global supply shocks, making energy security a national imperative. ClearPath’s educational series, the Clean Energy Innovation Academy (CEIA), took nine U.S. Senate […

The company announced a deal with B2U Storage Solutions to repurpose the battery packs as Waymo pulls them off the road.

Coal has long carried a reputation for pollution and heavy emissions. But what if it could suddenly play a very different role in the energy world?

Soaring power bills are threatening to claim their biggest victim yet — the nation’s largest electric grid operator.
