Second-generation biofuels made from agricultural residues, wood and plant waste support the shift to sustainable energy, but processing them still has its challenges.
Sustainable aviation fuel, made from non-petroleum feedstocks, is the most promising path to reducing aviation’s carbon footprint, but it’s not without its challenges.
Beyond offering enhanced protection, “self-healing” rubber gloves could significantly contribute to the reduction of waste, resource consumption, and overall environmental impact.
Among the intricate tapestry of issues on the table at COP28, there are some pivotal ones that demand our attention.
Vehicles of the future won’t just have batteries where the petrol tank used to be. They’ll also require a redesign of fundamental mechanical systems and their power dynamics.
We should welcome all options that enable low-carbon hydrogen to play a role in decarbonising our energy systems, and stop focusing on colour-coding production methods.
To ensure hydrogen meets the goals of sustainable production, life cycle assessment and net energy analyses should be integrated with project planning to inform decision-making.
We’re kicking off Series 4 of What Happens Next by looking back, way back. This time we’ll ponder what happens if we stop exploring natural history – what would we lose?
Solving climate change would involve only a fraction of the interventions into civic, business and organisational life that we're seeing now.
What role did climate change play in Australia's devastating bushfires?
There's much more to that 'pond scum' than meets the eye – and we may end up eating it.
ClimateWorks Australia has developed a tool to help Pacific Island countries design pathways for the future through sustainable, climate-resilient, net-zero-emissions development.
A worldwide study shows that while wetlands are under increasing threat from global warming, rising sea levels and human population density, they're remarkably resilient – and Australia's are faring better than most.
We love our food, but waste an extraordinary amount of it. Now, research is looking at how repurposing this waste food biomass can be turned into profit.
Think you're tough? In the survival stakes, we humans have nothing over our bacterial companions.
Researchers are focusing on sustainable ammonia to create sustainable fuel and help preserve our coral reefs.
AI, robotics, advanced vision systems and drone-building are redefining one of the oldest sciences – geology.
