Calgary-based Pieridae Energy is giving up on its Nova Scotia LNG dreams and is retreating back to Alberta to focus on its fossil fuel business, the company said in a corporate update.

Canada needs to move faster on renewable energy as a new international energy outlook forecasts demand for all fossil fuels will peak in seven years, Energy Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said on Wednesday, October 25, 2023.

The International Energy Agency says the transition to renewables is not a matter of "if" but a question of "how soon?" The implication is enormous for Canada's fossil fuel obsession.

A renewable energy windfall of nearly $300 million for the Alberta government should be used to expand the industry and help low-income people pay power bills, say the provincial New Democrats.

Tensions from the war in Gaza could help accelerate the move away from planet-warming fossil fuels like oil and gas and toward renewable energy, electric cars and heat pumps — similar to how sharp increases in the price of oil during the 1970s unleashed efforts to conserve fuel, the head of the International Energy Agency said.

Floods and storms accounted for 95 per cent of recorded child displacement between 2016 and 2021, according to the first-of-its-kind analysis by UNICEF and the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. The rest — more than two million children — were displaced by wildfires and drought.

The tiny fragments that tires release into the environment are yet another reason to reduce car use.

The report released Tuesday says the worldwide rollout of key technologies such as renewable power, electric vehicles and heat pumps is happening so quickly that demand for coal, oil and natural gas is set to peak within the next 10 years.

U.S. climate envoy John Kerry urged the world to be “very skeptical” about claims from oil and gas producers that emerging technology soon will allow people to adequately capture the climate-wrecking fumes emitted by their cars, planes and businesses.

Communities around the world emitted more carbon dioxide in 2022 than in any other year on records dating to 1900, a result of air travel rebounding from the pandemic and more cities turning to coal as a low-cost source of power.

With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe’s future leader in green hydrogen production to clean up heavy industries. But some energy sector experts express caution over ramping up an industry that would be wholly reliant on massive increases in the availability of zero-carbon electricity.

A fireside chat between the International Energy Agency's top boss and Canada's natural resources minister underscores competing visions for the country's energy future.

Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg slammed corporate bigwigs meeting in Davos, Switzerland for “fuelling the destruction of the planet” by investing in fossil fuels and prioritizing short-term profits over people affected by the climate crisis.

For renewable energy companies in India, it's a good time to be in business.

Nuclear fusion may still be decades away, but the global energy transition away from fossil fuels is only going to pick up speed in the months and years to come, writes columnist Max Fawcett.
