Three first-year students ended a six-day protest aiming to stop investment in fossil fuels

Scientists have developed a way to use sunlight to turn unprocessed biomass into clean hydrogen. The steps to create the new solar fuel are outlined in a research paper from the University of Cambridge, which says the sustainable and relatively cheap process could have significant implications for the future of energy generation. The biomass is suspended in a mixture of catalytic nanoparticles and alkaline […]

The University of Cambridge has blacklisted investments in coal and tar sands companies. In a statement, the institution said it has “no exposure to the most pollutive industries such as thermal coal and tar sands” and “no expectations of having any such exposure in the future”. Its report adds it aims to encourage its fund managers […]
