Hydrogen is a fuel and feedstock material that has the advantage of “burning” without emitting carbon dioxide. However, it is produced with energy-intensive methods that can seriously detract from the sustainability benefit of greenhouse gas-free fuel. Efforts to overcome this challenge have resulted in the development of green and blue hydrogen.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has reported that the world needs to produce approximately 306 million tons of green hydrogen every year if it is going to meet net-zero emissions targets by 2050. At present, almost no green hydrogen is entering the market and annual production is only 87 million tons for all hydrogen types.

The hydrogen revolution will accelerate the transition to a green economy, bringing the end of the fossil fuel age closer, but does it have the potential to power our future?
The environmental impact of nuclear power remains a contentious issue among scientists, activists, and policymakers. On the one hand, it can provide energy at scale without burning fossil fuels. On the other hand, system failures have tragic consequences and there is as yet no good solution for dealing with nuclear waste. This article presents some of the critical benefits and detriments of today's nuclear power.

Lithium-ion batteries have been instrumental in powering the modern-day world. However, numerous issues have been raised about whether batteries should continue to play a significant role as the world progresses toward a greener future.
Researchers, conservationists and environmental engineers are increasingly using drones instead of lower-resolution satellite photos, slower land surveying equipment, and costly and often unavailable manned aircraft services.
