For 27 years, the heat in Regina Fred's Queens apartment building came from a noisy steam radiator that she couldn't control. Sometimes it didn't come on at all, leaving her shivering. Sometimes, the radiators ran so hot that residents had to keep their windows open in the middle of winter for relief. That all changed a few months ago when she got a window-mounted heat pump as part of a pilot project by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) aimed at cutting energy costs and lowering emissions. Suddenly, all Fred has to do is touch a dial to bump her temperature up or down, and she finds ...

A new EU law on fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) designed to curb man-made emissions from air conditioners, refrigerators and heat pumps coming into force today (March 11) risks increasing exposure to dangerous ‘forever chemicals’, an NGO has warned. The International Chemical Secretariat (ChemSec) — an NGO which advocates for the substitution of toxic chemicals with safer alternatives — warned that hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) remain largely unregulated under the new law. HFOs are a form of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), dubbed forever chemicals because they are difficult to rem...

In this third and final episode about the European hydrogen rush, Euronews Tech Talks ventured into an Italian high school pioneering in the field of green hydrogen for heating. There, we learned more about the hydrogen boiler and collected questions for our Q&A episode with Rosalinde van der Vlies, Director of Clean Planet in DG Research and Innovation at the European Commission. What do hydrogen-powered trucks and cheese have in common? | Euronews Tech Talks PodcastScientists are shocked by the discovery of white hydrogen in France: could it be Europe's fuel?Is green hydrogen the future of h...

Wind power and heat pumps are obvious assets in the fight against fossil-fuelled climate change. But have you ever considered how well the two might work together? A new report from UK climate action charity Possible has done exactly that - and found they’re not only a match, but one capable of cutting energy bills by a third. With 3,700 of the most deprived neighbourhoods in England located within 1km of onshore wind resources, there’s big potential for alleviating fuel poverty while tackling emissions. “Replacing gas boilers with clean home heating will be vital to protect the climate. At th...

The public high school of Antonio Meucci in Carpi looks much like any other in Europe: a hub of students eagerly awaiting lunch breaks, professors navigating peaks of motivation and resignation, while janitors run the halls. But tucked away in a distant corner of the schoolyard, a mysterious fenced structure emerges from the trees. Accessible only to specialised technicians, a panel on the structure hints at its purpose: H2 Hydrogen. This building contains the first green-hydrogen-powered boiler to heat an EU educational site, and it has zero emissions potential. So, how does a green hydrogen ...
