With extreme weather events rising in frequency, the need for a prepared modern energy grid grows.

Solar power is expected to reach 10 percent of global power generation by the year 2030, and much of that is likely to be located in desert areas, where sunlight is abundant. 

Lithium is powering the world’s electric vehicles, making the metal a key part in the quest to reduce carbon emissions.

California is a national leader in renewable energy development.

Case study of weather triggering the 2017 crisis points to how atmospheric rivers are impacted by global warming

Renewable energy that feeds into the main power grid could destabilise the system and potentially cause power failures according to a new study.

Identifying a malfunction in the nation’s power grid can be like trying to find a needle in an enormous haystack. 

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, have previously shown that biological catalysts, or enzymes, can produce fuels cleanly using renewable energy sources, but at low efficiency.
