Armed with marginal emissions data covering almost 100 percent of global electricity consumption, WattTime estimates up to 9 gigatons of carbon emissions can be avoided each year by optimizing where and when electricity is used and where renewable energy projects are.

Reducing the amount of super pollutants, like methane, that end up in the atmosphere can quickly reduce global temperatures. The Global Heat Reduction Initiative aims to incentivize companies to do just that.

The offshore wind industry appears to be especially vulnerable to a change in federal energy policy after the 2024 election, but stakeholders are in a much better position to engage bipartisan support than a few years ago thanks to the supply chain.

Farmers participating in the Brazilian company FarFarm's agroforestry project are growing organic cotton alongside trees, food and cash crops to restore the health of a slice of the Amazon rainforest. They sell the cotton to the French footwear company Veja, which turns it into sustainable sneakers.

Lithium-ion batteries are the current standard, but there's room for improvement. In the newest installment of our responsible mining series, Andrew Kaminsky explores the benefits of alternative batteries and the environmental and social implications of extracting minerals to scale their production.

A new model for assessing the carbon sequestration capability of trees and other plants found that the world's greenery sucks up 31 percent more carbon than previously thought. But more tree-planting may not be the answer to maximize these benefits.

Citizen scientists are checking their shower heads, dishwashers and microwaves for microbes that could advance technology that fights climate change. Their efforts are part of a new project from Seed Health, The Two Frontiers Project and CitSci focused on studying microbes that survive in extreme conditions.

The new online tool Terraware promises to track reforestation projects according to foresters’ data collection needs and make global collaboration to fight climate change easier.

Aiming to make carbon accounting easier, Bentley Systems' new tool allows engineers to see a digital representation of the embodied carbon in their future projects. That also helps them compare building materials and design choices to mitigate those emissions.

As the United Nations biodiversity summit continues in Colombia, an intergovernmental effort driven by four Latin American countries is leading a digital revolution to protect ocean biodiversity.

A research team and five countries are working together to understand, create and sustain the wildlife corridors critical to African elephant conservation.
