Batteries

A new report says smaller EV batteries, more battery recycling and less driving could curb the amount of lithium needed as the country shifts to clean energy.

Fossil fuels

Some practical ways to reduce indoor air pollution and electrify some of your cooking.

EV charging

Neither tenants nor landlords want to pay for EV chargers. Maybe third-party infrastructure finance can solve the conundrum.

Nuclear

Modular reactor pioneer NuScale finally got one of its designs certified by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, but the company is still years away from a deployment.

Energy storage

As the push to decarbonize buildings gains momentum, the simple concept of using ice to reduce AC use is becoming more appealing.

Carbon-free buildings

Despite the building sector's massive emissions, little investment has flowed into real-estate decarbonization so far. Fifth Wall wants to change that.

Air travel

The California startup's 19-seat hydrogen-electric prototype plane successfully completed a short test flight as efforts to curb air-travel emissions scale up.

Clean energy jobs

Plus, nearly half of the new clean energy jobs don't require a bachelor's degree, and most pay more than the national median salary.

Workforce diversity

Plus, climatetech career moves at Google, Fluence, OCI Solar, LineVision, Energize Ventures, Fifth Wall, Intersect Power and more.

EV charging

Volta went public via SPAC at a $2B valuation in 2021 but bled cash and sold to Shell for just $169 million. Building EV charging networks is a costly business.

Solar

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act and solar-power momentum in states, community-solar installations have potential to soar in the U.S., coalition says.

Clean energy

Peninsula Clean Energy says it can deliver affordable clean energy to its Bay Area territory nearly every hour of the year by 2025. Here’s the data to prove it.

Long-duration energy storage

With its carbon-based storage tech, startup Noon could be among the first to commercialize clean energy storage that can power the grid for days.

Clean fleets

The electric-trucking-as-a-service startup will build charging depots and make electric trucks available to freight haulers serving California's busiest ports.

Food and farms

Too many Americans are squeamish about cultivated meat, alt-protein processed foods and GMOs, but we'll need to get used to them to avert a climate catastrophe.

Energy efficiency

There's federal money on the table to help states modernize their building energy codes. But some states could benefit from it more than others.

Solar

Solar companies will partner with the state government to install and lease solar arrays with the aim of saving money for homeowners from the start.

Batteries

Federal loans for Ioneer's Rhyolite Ridge lithium mining project could expand domestic supplies of a key material for EVs and batteries.

Fossil fuels

The performative outrage over a nonexistent ban on gas stoves is overblown. The clear proof of the harmful health impacts of fossil gas isn't.

Fossil fuels

A study found that gas stoves cause asthma. A federal official suggested the government might take action. The right wing freaked out. And more!

Air travel

Join our reporter as she tags along with a truck driver dumpster-diving for used cooking oil — all in the name of curbing aircraft emissions.

Fossil fuels

Duke Energy wants new gas plants and limits on new solar. Regulators are going along for now. But opponents say federal incentives make clean energy the best choice.

Solar

Inflation Reduction Act tax credits spur Qcells to make a major investment in Georgia solar factories and to expand its U.S. polysilicon supply.

Clean energy jobs

The U.S. has a shortage of electricians to install clean equipment like EV chargers, heat pumps and induction stoves. Those who get into the field can earn big.

Carbon capture

Startup CarbonQuest had a successful pilot project in a New York City apartment building and now has a contract to roll out its technology at more buildings.

Climate crisis

Historic investments in renewable energy will help the U.S. get closer to halving emissions by 2030, but there's a lot more work to do, a new report warns.

Solar

The company owns solar plants for the long haul, grazes sheep among its panels and works to be a good neighbor in rural communities.
