Europe still struggling to green trucks
CO2 emission limits for trucks have come into force much later than for cars in the EU, and it is still unclear what technology could be used to reduce their climate impact.

Nuclear: Out with the old and in with the new?
Existing nuclear power technologies and next-generation nuclear feature prominently in the UK’s new climate plan – but their potential role in the clean energy transition continues to divide experts.
After the Ten Point Plan: Next steps to net zero
The UK government’s Ten Point Plan for a green industrial revolution sketches out a map to a net-zero economy, but much still needs to be filled in.
Clean energy investors are betting on Biden
US clean energy stocks appear to have priced in a Biden win. But with policy details hazy and progress uncertain, the sector isn’t home and dry.
Will the dash for hydrogen benefit sub-Saharan Africa?
Sub-Saharan African countries could become big hydrogen exporters, but why not use hydrogen to power their own industrial development?
Hydrogen in transport: Game changer or fairy tale?
After years of hype, "freedom fuel" has yet to prove itself as a transport solution.
Will Russia fully engage with the geopolitics of clean energy?
A refusal by Russia to fully take part in the global clean energy transition could have serious economic and political repercussions for the country.
Heating homes with hydrogen: Are we being sold a pup?
Hydrogen has an important role to play in the clean energy transition, but there are better options for decarbonising heating in our homes.
Hydrogen is the next renewables story
A climate neutral energy system requires green hydrogen made from renewables to transport and store clean power, and take it into other sectors such as industry and transport. Europe is taking a lead, but climate campaigners caution that hydrogen must really be green and remain complementary to direct electrification.
From blue to green: hydrogen’s own energy transition
While the goal may be green hydrogen from renewable power, blue hydrogen from natural gas with carbon capture and storage will be a cheaper, faster way to reduce industrial emissions and build demand for clean hydrogen over the next ten years.
Heat pumps, not hydrogen, key to decarbonise UK heating
Decarbonising heating is essential to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, but the UK Government is still hesitating about which path to take.
