A U.S. federal grant has helped bolster Electrified Thermal Solutions, which is manufacturing a new heat-conducive brick that the company's founders claim will dramatically reduce the fossil fuel needs for heating in heavy industry.

If we're serious about warding off the oncoming climate catastrophe, it will take a swift and highly disruptive overhaul to our way of living.

Montreal is often praised for its green initiatives but people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods often get short shrift when it comes to green spaces.

The Cold War shows that environmental sustainability, like peace, cannot be achieved solely by focusing on technology.

The price change on April 1 affects the consumer levy, which applies in every province and territory except British Columbia, Quebec and Northwest Territories.

It’s lovely to think there are vast sources of continuously produced clean hydrogen from chemical reactions of water on hot rocks within the Earth, ready to be tapped as a clean energy source and solve the world’s energy problems. A great story, but it’s likely too good to be true.

A beer maker in Dartmouth has found a way to save money and help the environment by reducing the use of a gas critical to the brewing process.

A startup is zapping seawater with electricity to extract and store away carbon, but scientists remain skeptical.

For the ninth straight month, Earth has obliterated global heat records — with February, the winter as a whole and the world's oceans setting new high-temperature marks, according to the European Union climate agency Copernicus.

The European Court of Auditors said the 27-nation bloc must “shift up gear” to come close to a zero-emissions car fleet, with electric vehicles playing a crucial role.

CO2 released by burning biogas from cow manure is counted as an emission reduction, rather than a climate pollutant, and multiple state programs in the U.S. are taking credit for the cuts that some see as phantoms.
