Des paléontologues ont découvert fin juin à Atapuerca, dans le nord-est de l'Espagne, un fossile d'hominidé dont l'âge est estimé à 1,4 million d'années. Si la datation est confirmée, ce sera le plus vieux fossile d'être humain connu en Europe.

In 2012, a new campaign was formed in the US to spearhead the movement to divest in fossil fuels. Fossil Free, a project of 350.org, has since grown exponentially, claiming last year that organisations - ranging from healthcare, religious groups, universities and local governments

Electric vehicles are gaining a larger share of the automotive market, while becoming more affordable. Environmental awareness has become a key driving force in EV adoption among consumers, and businesses are realizing they can attract these drivers by offering EV charging stations. Some government programs such as the California Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) rule are requiring automakers to offer more environmentally friendly vehicles. The emissions reduction potential of EVs is significant because they can run with electricity generated by wind turbines or solar panels. Even if an EV relies on a power grid where most electricity comes from fossil fuels, there is a reduction of emissions: power plants use fossil fuels much more efficiently than the combustion engines on cars.

Researchers from a University of California-led study used detailed data sets of existing fossil-fuel burning infrastructures, such as power plants and boilers, to estimate how much carbon dioxide they would emit before they are currently expected to retire.

A new study published by British researchers said that some of the rocks on Mars that are close to the remains of ancient lakes may provide important clues for studying the life that had existed on this planet.

The future of mobility on our planet has been a subject of speculation for many years. The move away from fossil fuels has been a certainty for many years. Different solutions to the transportation problem have been put forward by many.

As fossil fuel-driven means of transportation is gradually shunned across the world, a term that could redefine transportation across the planet has been coined. Electro-mobility is the new buzzword that encompasses all modes of transportation that is driven electronically.

With the UK going coal-free for a record-breaking 90 hours over the weekend, energy sources such as solar and onshore wind now play a key role in generating electricity. However, with the urgent need for new energy sources to replace the 60% of the electricity produced worldwide by fossil fuel combustion, it has become necessary to look further afield to alternative energy sources.

Most means of human transportation on our planet could soon be electronically driven. A new term for this phenomenon is electro-mobility. In a nutshell, any form of vehicle that can be powered through electrical means can potentially be labelled as e-mobility.
