A UK university-led team of scientists is to develop a reactor that converts CO2 into fuel so efficiently it could offset every year more than three times the amount of carbon produced by Britain. It will look to make ‘photo-catalytic reductions,’ which use solar energy to creat
The world’s first online search engine for sustainability resources in the built environment has launched today to support the delivery of greener buildings. The free-to-use online platform, called Pinpoint, contains over 200 resources, including reports, case studies, measurement and
Are you terrified by the melting polar ice cap, rising sea levels, extreme weather, and other growing threats from global warming? There’s something you can do about it, new research shows. Just don’t work so hard. David Rosnick, an economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Rese

IT hardware firm Logitech has an iPad keyboard that is powered solely using solar cells and the day when other gadgets such as mobile phones and iPods can be powered using solar energy moves closer every day. The photoelectric cells integrated onto the portable keyboard generate energ
One of the simplest, yet most effective, ways of engineering the urban environment to cope with global warming is to increase the reflectivity of the cityscape so that more of the incoming sunlight is directed back into space. Painting roofs white and using light-coloured materials to
