As the world strives to reduce its carbon footprint, some experts say we cannot hope to achieve this in the short or medium term future without using natural gas. Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel in terms of CO2 emissions, and...

Discover how increasing urbanization and industrial activity contribute to air pollution and its harmful effects on ecosystems. Learn about the damaging consequences of smog on plant species like the Ponderosa pine and the broader impact...

Dr. Forrester teaches about renewable and nonrenewable natural resources.

Dr. Forrester explains the types of fossils and how they form.

There are high hopes that the most abundant element in the universe could solve the world’s energy problems. But as the FT’s Myles McCormick explains, separating the gas into a fuel fit to produce clean power for all remains a...

Controlled burning of unwanted natural gas during oil and gas recovery is a commonplace procedure in the energy industry but it is both wasteful and damaging to the environment. Reporting from Houston, Texas, the FT’s Justin Jacobs...

FT Rethink - Heavy industries must decarbonise dramatically to reach net zero. Replacing fossil fuels with green hydrogen, created with renewable energy, is one way to reduce emissions. Examples of green hydrogen being used in various...

FT Energy Source - Exports have rocketed, particularly for European producers. Last December, the US became the world’s biggest exporter of this super chilled fuel. But as the FT’s Justin Jacobs explains, not everyone’s happy about the...

In this video we cover: - How our sources of energy have changed throughout human history - Where we use most of our energy today i.e. transport and domestic - How renewable is our electricity (spoiler alert... not very!) General info: -...

Dr. Forrester explores the diverse natural resources of the Northeastern region of the United States of America.

The video "Evaluating Solar Energy” explores solar energy, including its benefits and limitations.

Dr. Forrester identifies the forms of energy used to power electricity by examining solar power, wind power, and hydroelectric power. She also discusses the benefits of using alternative, renewable resources of energy by listing ways to...

Dr. Forrester explains that we rely on natural resources for powering our cars, and heating our homes. Natural resources, also known as nonrenewable, include oil, natural gas, and coal. There are a variety of renewable energy sources...

Dr. Forrester explains that plants, animals, water, and fossil fuels are natural resources. She explains how regional and natural sources of energy influence what people use. She shows how to recognize that nonrenewable resources such as...

This video is answering the question of how is hydrogen made.

Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources identifies the various types of natural resources available for human use by defining the terms renewable resource and nonrenewable resource and providing examples of each.

Is natural gas renewable? Is it a fossil fuel? A casual google search for natural gas gives the impression that these questions are somehow up for debate. And while natural gas has helped reduce carbon emissions as it was widely adopted...

This video examines details relating to the planets Jupiter, Saturn and their moons.
