To reduce the detrimental effects climate change poses to our state, electricity producers are shifting away from using fossil fuel-based sources to clean, renewable sources such as the sun and wind. Last year, we prepared two statewide draft programmatic environmental impact statements identifying the likely adverse effects that utility-scale solar and onshore wind...

Meeting a 1.5°C climate goal Over half of industrial sector emissions come from fossil fuel combustion to generate process heat. Decarbonizing industrial process heat, and overcoming the many technological, market, and policy barriers that prevent companies from decarbonizing heat, is essential. More and more governments and companies are committed to climate action across the...

Every day, millions of engines and factories burn fossil fuels, releasing carbon dioxide – a greenhouse gas that traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere and contributes to climate change. Now imagine a clean fuel that does not pollute and produces only water as waste. That’s the promise of green hydrogen, which is made by using solar and wind power to split water into hydrogen and oxygen....

This is part two of a two-part series on ways that coal infrastructure is being repurposed to meet the needs of renewable energy. Read part one here. For four decades, the Oklaunion Power Plant has been a fixture on the landscape near rural Vernon, Texas, a town of about 11,000 in the vicinity of the Texas-Oklahoma state line. The plant...

EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (March 25, 2025) — According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, nonrenewable sources like “fossil fuels — petroleum, natural gas, and coal — accounted for about 84% of total U.S. primary energy production in 2023.” When fossil fuels are burned, however, carbon dioxide is released into...

According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), some 70 million tonnes of hydrogen are currently consumed worldwide. The problem is that almost all of this hydrogen is produced from coal or natural gas, that is, it is obtained by the most polluting techniques for the planet. Less than 1 % of the world's production of this hydrogen is based on water electrolysis powered by renewable...

Lucknow: The Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) is now home to two cutting-edge centres of excellence focused on green hydrogen and electric vehicles. The institution has successfully installed systems to generate green hydrogen onsite using a combination of wind and solar energy, alongside battery manufacturing for all-terrain electric vehicles. The college currently generates 4 kilowatts...

Researchers who are developing electrolyzers for hydrogen production are increasingly turning to a membrane platform originally used in fuel cells to scale up their technology. Their strategy: use anion-exchange membranes, which could be more cost-effective and combine the best features of conventional proton-exchange membranes and alkaline approaches. Anion-exchange membrane (AEM) technology enables...
