Special interest groups across the country are working to stall the growth of rooftop solar, according to a new report released last week by Environment America Research & Policy Center and U.S. PIRG Education Fund. In particular, utilities are maneuvering to end or drastically alter the popular policy of “net metering,” which ensures that solar panel owners in 40 states and Washington D.C. receive fair compensation for the clean energy they supply to the electric grid, said the groups.

New report from think tank Onward warns that without a major revamp of the UK's skills strategy its net zero goals and economic competitiveness will be at risk. The UK's skills shortage is a well-documented and long-standing phenomenon, which has seen successive governments launch policies to enhance technical vocational training, encourage more students to take science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects, and promote life-long learning to help people change careers, often to vary

Today I’m speaking with Jon Hallé. We go back about 20 years. You ran courses on how to make biodiesel for Lowimpact, back in the early noughties, and you authored a book for us about making biodiesel, that sold about 15k copies in the first year. It caught the zeitgeist then, but of course diesel vehicles have had their day now. Then you started Sharenergy , setting up community energy schemes around the country.

BusinessGreen's roundtable - hosted in association with E.ON and featuring representatives from Network Rail, PwC, and Turner and Townsend - brought to the fore a number of issues associated with implementing a sustainable strategy at a business level. Much of the media coverage and political focus around the net zero transition is fixated on the big picture: the multi-trillion-dollar investment opportunity it creates, the green industrial revolution it necessitates, and the policy challenges it

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
