The oil and gas giant's profits reached US$14 billion, angering climate advocates as the corporation continues to grow its fossil fuel business while pulling back on low-carbon alternatives.

A new study based on breeding bird surveys found that grassland birds reacted even more negatively to corn and soybean fields than they did to land used for oil and gas development.

A new study shows that cutting down trees for paper, furniture and fuel emits three times more carbon than flying.

A fund designed to kick-start clean fuel projects has received “limited interest” from Indigenous organizations, a Canada’s National Observer access to information request has found.

New research shows that large volumes of trees have been logged specifically for the province's wood pellet industry since 2010.

"Abandoning biofuels as a major climate action in the transportation sector, as must be done, raises the question of how to reduce GHG pollution," writes Victoria-based transportation planning consultant Eric Doherty.

What if alternative energy isn't all it's cracked up to be? That's the provocative question explored in the documentary "Planet of the Humans," which is backed and promoted by filmmaker Michael Moore and directed by one of his longtime collaborators. It premiered last week at his Traverse City Film Festival.

Many scientists and environmental groups say it is unrealistic to measure the carbon intensity of biofuels without also measuring how the use of crops like corn or canola for fuel, instead of food, might be causing the conversion of land elsewhere in the world to agriculture to compensate for the drop in food crops.

A Quebec biofuels company has signed its first deal to power an airline's jets with energy grown from Canadian oilseeds.

It has been derided as an expensive excuse to burn coal. But now, carbon capture technology may be leading to new commercial uses that could end up in your mouth.
