Incat Tasmania launches world’s largest battery-electric ship

In a historic milestone for sustainable innovation, Tasmanian shipbuilder Incat has officially launched Hull 096—the world’s largest battery-electric ship—at its Hobart shipyard. Commissioned by South American ferry operator Buquebus, the vessel marks a major advancement in zero-emission maritime transport. Designed to carry up to 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles, Hull 096 will operate entirely on

Global warming won’t end if net zero is redefined

In a recent study published in Nature, an international team of authors who created the science behind net zero, led by the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, show that relying on ‘natural carbon sinks’ like forests and oceans to offset ongoing CO2 emissions from the use of fossil fuels will not truly

Human-caused global warming at all-time high

Last year alone, human activities — such as burning coal for cheap power — led to our planet warming by 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.34 Fahrenheit), according to a new report. If we continue pumping heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere at our current rate, scientists say we have about five years before we drive global

A new alloy developed for minimising GHG emissions

Researchers have found a new alloy that can act as an effective magnetic refrigerant that can be an alternative cooling agent for minimising greenhouse gas emissions and meet the global demand for higher energy efficiency for tackling global warming. Magnetic refrigeration offers an energy-efficient and environment-friendly cooling technology as an alternative to the vapor-cycle refrigeration

World to warm by nearly 3°C without aggressive action

Countries’ current emissions pledges to limit climate change would still put the world on track to warm by nearly 3 degrees Celsius this century, according to a United Nations analysis released recently. The annual Emissions Gap report, which assesses countries’ promises to tackle climate change compared with what is needed, finds the world faces between

Global warming will reach 1.5C threshold this decade

Climate change is accelerating and the world will cross the 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) warming threshold this decade, according to research published that scientists said should raise alarms at this year’s COP28 climate talks. Countries pledged in the 2015 Paris Agreement to hold global warming to within 1.5C above pre-industrial temperatures but the new

Capture carbon emissions from your home

The greatest environmental threat the world has ever faced is climate change. The atmosphere of the Earth is warming more quickly than it ever has. In certain cases, the pace of change in weather, climate, and natural ecosystems is outpacing the capacity of both species and people to adapt. We are aware of the effects

Hydrogen 12 times worse than CO2: CICERO

Unlike exhaust from burning coal and gas that contains CO2, burning hydrogen emits only water vapor and oxygen. Rather, it is the leaking of hydrogen from production, transportation and usage that adds to global warming.

GHG emissions reached record high, study finds

World leaders will be confronted with the new data at the critical COP28 climate summit later this year in Dubai, where a “Global Stocktake” at the United Nations talks will assess progress towards the 2015 Paris Agreement’s temperature goals

Study finds corn-based ethanol contributes to global warming

Corn-based ethanol, which for years has been mixed in huge quantities into gasoline sold at U.S. pumps, is likely a much bigger contributor to global warming than straight gasoline, according to a published story. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, contradicts previous research commissioned by the US Department of
