Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have developed a new biologically inspired membrane that can capture carbon dioxide from power plant smoke...

For the first time, researchers have quantified the carbon footprint of global tourism around the world – and their findings show that tourism’s impact is roughly four times greater than previously thought...

Belgium-based AB Inbev, the world's largest beer brewing company, has created a new low-carbon method for adding bubbles to beer. The technique, which is expected to reduce the company's CO2 emissions by 5 percent, involves...

Xie Zhenhua, China's top climate official, has reported that the country has met its 2020 carbon intensity target three years earlier than expected. China's carbon intensity, as measured by the amount of carbon dioxide produced...

Researchers have calculated that stronger climate regulations across the globe could help prevent up to 150 million premature deaths. Much of the public health benefits of strictly regulating greenhouse gases would be concentrated...

Each year, 1.3 billion tons of food ends up lost or wasted — 46 percent of the world’s garbage. While the global food waste situation is what you’d call a “doozy,” consumers and companies like HomeBiogas are determined...

Even with quick-paced developments in renewable energy, the world still produces the vast majority of its power via fossil fuels: over 80 percent. 18-year-old Ethan Novek is working on technology that could allow us to burn...

Even with quick-paced developments in renewable energy, the world still sources a vast majority of power via fossil fuels: over 80 percent. 18-year-old Ethan Novek is working on an answer: technology that could allow us to...

2016 was a year for breaking records — and not all of them were good. Each of the first six months of 2016 set a record as the warmest month in the modern temperature record - and a new report shows that CO2 levels in the...

Americans consume 8.6 billion water bottles — every year. Of those, only 1 of 5 is recycled. Fortunately, a handful of MIT students have developed a solution to this problem, and it involves repurposing waste plastic bottles...

Oxford, England, with its history of learning dating back to the 11th century, is now shifting into the future with an electric-vehicle only zone in the city center...

When you hear the words 'cow farts,' you probably giggle a little. But bovine flatulence and belches are pumping methane into the atmosphere, and contributing even more greenhouse gas emissions than scientists previously...

The fall of coal and rise of renewable energy could be reducing global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (NEAA) published data this week showing global CO2 emissions remained...
