University of Cambridge researchers have developed a new solar-powered system to convert greenhouse gases and plastic waste into sustainable fuels. The new solar-powered reactor could have applications for many industries.[...]

On the ground, we see and hear planes flying overhead with a trail of burnt fuel streaming out behind them. Inside the plane, little thought is often given to what is fueling the ride from here to there. But it should be....

The problem is, few are doing the taking. Hydrocarbon producers are being hounded to move on from hydrocarbons, to pour their cashflow into emissions reductions infrastructure, or send it to the pockets of investors.

Food waste could be instrumental in producing sustainable aviation fuel, according to a recent study. Greenhouse gases from the aviation industry contribute 12% of transportation emissions and are bound to continue growing....

While most of the nation shelters in place to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Trump administration continues to dilute Obama-era environmental regulations...

Last week, a gasoline pipeline exploded in central Mexico, killing 91 people, with numbers expected to surpass 100. Mexico's state-owned oil company, Pemex, did not respond properly to the initial leak, which resulted in...

After a solid decline for the past three years, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States rose in 2018. According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), power generation, natural gas and oil consumption...

A Virgin Atlantic plane flying from Orlando to London has become the first commercial flight to use jet fuel partly made from recycled industrial waste...

A new study from the Earth Engineering Center (EEC|CCNY) at the Grove School of Engineering of the City College of New York suggests that plastic waste can effectively be converted into usable fuel and energy rather than...

We tend to view plastic waste as worthless garbage, but a group of innovators and creators in Africa view it as an unexploited asset. In fact, they've used it to create the Dung Beetle Project, an art project that includes...

Earlier this week, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a new policy which will classify the burning of wood as a 'carbon neutral' fuel source...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have discovered a revolutionary way to transform mushroom waste into biofuel. Despite claims to the contrary, biofuel — typically derived from food crops — is often...
