Researchers recorded nearly 1 million measurements across major U.S. oil and gas production sites, and found methane emissions far higher than U.S. EPA data suggests.
U.S. gas prices plunged below $2/MMBtu this winter, largely because of warm weather. Gas companies unable to turn a profit are slashing drilling plans.
The U.S. grants for several blue "hydrogen hub" concepts risk promoting a dirty and expensive technology, critics say. But upcoming hydrogen subsidy rules could still build a cleaner green hydrogen industry.
After repeatedly missing climate targets in recent years, Canada’s oil and gas sector emissions cap could be “groundbreaking.” But the industry is fighting to weaken it.
The fast-growing Alberta renewable energy sector is at risk, after the Canadian province recently slapped a moratorium on new projects.
A cost-of-energy analysis of different sources of electricity generation shows that solar, wind, and batteries offer some of the cheapest sources of power on offer. Still, there are challenges slowing faster deployment.
