Research clarifies which biochar technologies work best for the energy transition.

Black Friday often has a reputation for encouraging overconsumption, but if we must consume, we can support the ecological economy. Today, many sustainable brands are leaning into “ethical Black Friday” by offering meaningful discounts or even donating rather than discounting. You can pick up eco-friendly gifts, homewares, clothing, or everyday essentials — all while supporting companies that help reduce the linear economy's environmental impact.

Why the Circular Economy is Important – And, More Importantly; Works

How Climate Change Affects Renewable Energy Stability

Hydrogen-Based Local Energy Communities (LECs) can Accelerate the Green Energy Transition

Overcome four hydrogen hurdles, to decarbonise industry

From the wild Atlantic coasts of Scotland and Ireland to the storm-battered shores of Norway and Canada, the ocean is always in motion. That endless movement is one of nature’s most consistent energy sources — a rolling store of renewable power that never stops, even when the wind dies or clouds block the sun. Harnessing it efficiently, however, is far from simple.

Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world, driven by short product lifespans and rapid upgrades. LCD screens — used in phones, laptops, TVs, medical monitors, public information displays, and industrial sensors — contain polymers that are difficult to recycle, leading to landfilling or incineration. A new study develops a clever solution: a recyclable “vitrimer” plastic that is also naturally antimicrobial…

Triboelectric nanogenerators turn every gust of wind to power

Tidal power still lags far behind wind and solar in its contribution to renewable energy. A new academic review by shows that this is not because tidal energy is weak — in fact, it is shockingly strong — but because research and investment have simply not kept pace. The authors analysed 791 scientific studies on tidal current power, mapping the global state of the field and identifying the technologies most likely to finally make tidal energy affordable, reliable, and scalable.

For years, critics of renewable energy have repeated the same refrain: wind power is costly, unreliable, and dependent on subsidies. But a new study from University College London (UCL) tells a different story. And policymakers should take note: Far from a financial drain, wind energy is saving British households billions. Between 2010 and 2023, the researchers found that wind generation delivered a net benefit of £104 billion to UK consumers.

Ocean flywheels to store power

Today, every tide presents the surface of a much larger story of new and unsettling travellers: microplastics. A new study from researchers across Europe has traced how tiny plastic fragments, invisible to the naked eye, are not only widespread in the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans but are being moved, concentrated, and trapped by the same forces that shape our planet’s climate — the ocean currents.
