People depend on water in so many ways. Rivers provide people with drinking water, irrigation for crops, habitat for fisheries, recreation opportunities like swimming and boating, and so many important cultural benefits. They also can provide a tremendous amount of energy through hydropower.

Hydropower dams can play an important role in helping developing economies transition to a cleaner energy system that also meets the needs of their people. But the environmental externalities — the side effects — of dams can be catastrophic.

The IEA's recent "Net Zero by 2050" report designated Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) as one of seven pillars needed to achieve mid-century climate neutrality and limit global heating. Can CCS really be used as the technological fix to mitigate climate change while many oil and gas industries are using the technology to produce more fossil fuels?

Interesting article in the Guardian that highlights the delicate politics that can make or break real progress on achieving net zero emissions by 2050

The Biden administration set a goal of reducing the cost of producing clean hydrogen, a fuel that could reduce dependence on others that emit greenhouse gases that cause climate change.

The Department of Energy (DOE) set a goal for hydrogen made with clean power, such as renewables and nuclear energy plants, by 80% to $1 per kilogram in a decade.

The Biden administration on Tuesday suspended oil drilling leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Why a circular economy is key to addressing climate change? The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has launched a new paper, in collaboration with Material Economics, revealing the need for a fundamental shift in the global approach to tackling climate change and relying solely on renewable energy is not enough.

The IEA released a roadmap for realizing net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the energy sector by 2050. The new net-zero model signals a critical shift in the IEA’s ambition, moving the yardstick for achieving net-zero emissions two decades earlier.
