I love living in Maryland. We’re living in a historical moment, and I can’t help but do a lil’ happy dance around the possibilities of the new administration and the groundwork laid by the Climate Solutions Now Act which set some of the most ambitious climate targets in the country. Amid all this I’m grateful […]

Editor’s Note: In a previous CleanTechnica post, Michael Grinshpun discussed this study. However, it is so frequently claimed that EVs pollute as well (not even close). As a result, including the original report bears repeating. In a larger expanse, no exhaust blowing on a pedestrian child or adult, a bicyclist passing by, or anyone else […]

Developers plan to add 54.5 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to the US power grid in 2023, according to our Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory. More than half of this capacity will be solar power (54%), followed by battery storage (17%). Solar US utility-scale solar capacity has been rising rapidly since 2010. Despite […]

There must be a better way. That thought has sparked more scientific advancements, more eureka moments, more patent applications. For a quartet of researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the notion of converting woody biomass to an oil that can then be used to produce high-value, carbon-rich coproducts proved to be an environmentally […]

Climate change is exacerbating potential flooding crises at high- and low elevations, three new studies warn. Approximately 15 million people worldwide — more than half in India, Pakistan, Peru, and China — live in the shadow of glacial lakes prone to sudden and catastrophic outbursts, according to a study published Tuesday in Nature Communications. A second […]
