Discover the environmental challenges of hydrogen production as Leiden researchers analyze its impact up to 2050. Learn about the risks associated with fossil fuels, the potential emissions, and cleaner alternatives for a sustainable tomorrow.

A significant breakthrough in green energy production is on the horizon as chemists from the University of Kansas and the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory edge closer to creating pure hydrogen without the use of fossil fuels. This revolutionary discovery could be a game-changer for renewable energy, setting us on a path to a greener future.

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization reports food prices hit unprecedented levels in March, with grains and vegetable oils experiencing significant price increases. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused massive supply disruptions, potentially leading to widespread hunger and malnutrition in vulnerable regions.

The European Union has agreed to ban Russian coal, marking its first significant energy sanctions over the Ukraine conflict. While the €4 billion annual ban represents a symbolic break from Russian energy dependence, deeper challenges remain in restricting oil and natural gas imports without triggering potential economic recession.

Congress overwhelmingly approved measures to end normal trade relations with Russia and ban oil imports, escalating economic pressure over the Ukraine conflict. The Senate passed both bills unanimously, and the legislation now awaits President Biden's signature.

Germany's government unveiled a comprehensive energy reform package aimed at dramatically increasing renewable power generation. The 600-page "Easter package" prioritizes wind and solar energy expansion, streamlining bureaucratic processes and targeting nearly 100% renewable electricity by 2035. This strategic move addresses climate goals and reduces dependence on Russian energy imports.

The World Health Organization reports that nearly everyone worldwide breathes air failing its quality standards, highlighting severe health risks from pollutants that cause respiratory and cardiovascular problems, leading to millions of preventable deaths annually.

Russian soldiers allegedly committed atrocities in Bucha, leaving behind 410 civilian bodies with signs of torture and execution. European leaders condemned the actions and called for increased sanctions against Moscow.

A new scientific study warns that the Western United States will experience more frequent and intense fire-flood cycles by 2100. As climate change progresses, burned regions are likely to face multiple extreme rainfall events within five years, dramatically increasing flood and mudslide risks in states like California, Colorado, and Oregon.
