Endless Energy

The energy outlook is brightening, thanks to new technologies ranging from solar and sustainable fuels like green hydrogen, to geothermal and maybe, finally, fusion.

Analyses and Insights

Bio-based energy

From ocean algae to agricultural and forest waste, biobased sources of energy offer promising and sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Almost 15 years into their rise, how are they playing out, and whats on the horizon?

Carbon-negativity

Its increasingly clear that even carbon-neutral is not enough; we need processes and technologies that remove more CO2 than they produce. And most of all, they need to scale up from lab bench to gigatons.

Sustainable aviation

Zero-emission ground and sea transport are underway, but few options exist to todays fossil-fueled aircraft. We examine electrification, airships, and Sustainable Aviation Fuels in tomorrows skies.

Grid energy storage

Evening out peaks and valleys in renewable energy supply and demand is a massive unmet need. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G), flywheels, gravity- and ice-based systems, and other innovative face a fragmented grid storage landscape.

From Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to fusion, new nuclear power technologies promise an always-on, emissions-free future energy landscape.

The Hydrogen Economy

Hydrogen has long been a promising energy storage alternative to batteries, biofuels, and other innovations. Where will it fit in the future energy mix?
