EDF research reveals problems with the way Saskatchewan is managing emissions from a very specific type of oil production known as Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand. A lot of gas, most of which is methane, also comes out during this process.

Study co-authored by EDF scientists distills 8 lessons from emerging climate-informed US fisheries management efforts.

Literature review co-authored by EDF scientists addresses the climate mitigation potential of organic soil amendments, including biostimulants and biopesticides.

EDF has conducted an updated analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions projections for each U.S. state and territory that has committed to reduce their emissions consistent with the U.S. Nationally Determined Contribution submitted under Article 4 of the Paris Climate Agreement.

This report from Dunsky and EDF evaluates the most cost-effective reduction pathway available for the Canadian upstream oil and gas industry to achieve the federal methane emissions reduction target of 75% by 2030 relative to 2012 levels.

Results of EDF analysis to compare the Total Cost of Ownership for currently available EVs to similar gasoline vehicles.

Report prepared for EDF by Marine Taxonomic Services, Ltd. (MTS) seeks to understand the extent to which telecom and power cables running through rivers, streams, and lakes that serve as drinking water sources may have been constructed using lead pipe and which may now pose a public health risk.

Last month, the California Air Resources Board unanimously voted to adopt the Advanced Clean Fleets Rule, which sets purchase requirements for private and government fleets to increasingly transition to zero-emission trucks, and sets a 100% sales requirement for manufacturers in 2036.

Maritime shipping is responsible for 3% of global greenhouse emissions. For the shipping industry to play its role in limiting global warming to 1.5°C, emissions must be rapidly reduced within this decade and reach zero by 2050.

Analysis on environmental risks and opportunities of orphaned wells provides a framework that can be used to manage the millions of documented and undocumented orphaned wells in the U.S. and abroad.

In this analysis published in Geophysical Research Letters, we use long-term satellite data to show a significant increase in aerosol exceedances over northern India, resulting in sustained atmospheric warming and surface cooling trends over the last two decades.

Scientist Kristin Kleisner explains what blue carbon is -- and how it affects the planet.

New EDF Economics Discussion Paper describes the instrument options available to policy makers in both oil and gas producing as well as importing countries.

Blue Carbon refers to the carbon stored in coastal and marine ecosystems like mangroves, seagrasses, and tidal marshes. These often-overlooked ecosystems provide critical habitats for marine biodiversity and play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by absorbing and storing large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.

Research by Roush for EDF analyzes the potential electrification of MYs 2030 and 2032, 5-axle, single trailer Classes 7 and 8 tractors used to transport a significant fraction of road freight.

Jamie Beck Alexander shares actionable, practical ways you can put a climate lens on the job you currently have.

This report from EDF and partners provides a comprehensive review of the current resources available to households for post-disaster economic recovery in South Carolina and explores the extent to which innovative disaster insurance policy designs can fill these gaps and improve equity in recovery.

The Groundwater Accounting Platform enables water managers, landowners, and water users to track water budgets and usage in near real-time. The platform includes modules for groundwater modeling and water trading, providing a complete set of tools for local water districts to better manage allocations over time. Built using open-source code, the Groundwater Accounting Platform provides a springboard for water districts everywhere to launch and customize their own software solutions.
