Decarbonization of heat is a difficult challenge — with many interdependent factors — but one that is increasingly urgent for energy researchers to tackle.
All papers published in Nature Energy must now contain clear statements on how to access the data contained within them or what restrictions prevent the data from being shared.
The US presidential elections represent an important cornerstone for both US and global energy policies. The continuation of current policies aimed at the low carbon energy transition should not be taken for granted.
Challenges remain in understanding battery processes that govern operation and limit performance, but fundamental research holds the key for further development of beyond-lithium-ion technologies.
Using hydrogen as an energy carrier has long been discussed as a route to a greener future, and although headway has been less significant than many hoped, recent developments point to tangible progress.
A third of the world's installed wind energy capacity is in China, but technological and policy challenges need to be addressed to make the most of the country's wind resources.
With the accelerating pace of energy technology development and diffusion around the world, more must be done to ensure that our electricity systems are able to adapt to current and future changes.
In this issue, Nature Energy takes a closer look at some of the ways in which the social sciences are addressing problems in energy and climate change.
International collaboration and deep technical understanding are essential to building safe and secure nuclear facilities, particularly where political tensions undermine trust between states.
The European Commission's energy security package lays out the EU's commitment to the Energy Union but leaves some doubt about its commitment to the clean energy transition.
The round-up on last year's global investment in clean energy shows that renewables continued their rapid ascendancy, bringing multiple benefits for all.
Energy systems around the globe are changing in response to new technological developments and environmental and social pressures. Making the most of these changes requires a concerted effort from academia, industry and government — an effort Nature Energy intends to support.
