Estimates vary, but it’s widely acknowledged that HVAC systems in buildings — residential, commercial, industrial, institutional — together account for a significant proportion of greenhouse gases, ...

Burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation is by far the largest contributor to greenhouse gases, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Renewable power generation ...

The power, utilities, and renewables (PUR) sector has a significant role to play in the transition to clean energy—and for good reason: decarbonizing power production will allow other industries to ...

The path to decarbonization is arching toward hybridization and innovation. As the built environment confronts its critical role in global carbon emissions, industry leaders are moving beyond ...

One of Burns & McDonnell’s recent decarbonization projects was the TIGER (Thermally Integrated Geo-Exchange Resource) building for Princeton University. This single-story structure combines ...

The newly developed machine learning model greatly speeds up assessing the properties of molybdenum carbide catalysts for biomass conversion to useful products (top path) compared with current ...

As extreme weather events become more frequent and the impacts of climate change become stronger, countries around the world are strengthening their decarbonization efforts. The 2016 Paris Agreement ...

For a successful energy transition, manufacturers must be pragmatic while overcoming inherent sector challenges. The federal government reports that manufacturing accounts for 12% of U.S. greenhouse ...

CO2 is the largest driver of climate change and the greenhouse gas most intimately integrated into the U.S. economy and way of life. This ad hoc committee will examine the status of technologies, ...

The imperative of decarbonization presents society with enormous scientific and governance challenges. Decarbonization is a necessity to minimize the global costs of climate change. However, the ...

Scientists create computational model for identifying low-cost catalysts that convert biomass into fuels and useful chemicals with low carbon footprint. Next time you drive past farms or prairies and ...
