Electric cars might feel like a modern invention, but they were zipping around European streets back in the 1880s. So how did they lose out to combustion engines? And what brought them back?

Cars have transformed how we get around. But with more than a billion of them on the roads, they've also transformed the places people live — and not always for the better.

For centuries, animals pulled our carts and carriages. Then Karl Benz added an engine and fossil fuel, helping kick off the global age of cars.

A roof is usually just a roof. But cover it in solar panels and suddenly the building can start making its own electricity.

From leaky windows to heat-trapping concrete, buildings can demand huge amounts of energy just to stay comfortable, and much of it still comes from fossil fuels.

Making buildings greener starts with materials. Using less steel and concrete, recycling more, and developing cleaner alternatives could dramatically reduce emissions.

Buildings are getting bigger, cities are growing, and billions more people will need somewhere to live and work. So how can humanity make all that construction and energy use more sustainable?

Buildings have two big carbon problems: the emissions that go into making them, and the energy needed to keep them running.

Cars, trucks, planes and ships get plenty of attention. But buildings produce more CO2 than all four combined.

A new generation of steelmaking is swapping coal for gas. It's a big step down in emissions, but there's still some carbon left to deal with.

The blast furnace has been at the heart of steelmaking for over a century…until now. Molten oxide electrolysis could replace the process with renewable electricity to pull iron straight from its ore.

What if the key to cleaner steel started with splitting water? Green hydrogen can replace fossil gas in the first stage of steelmaking, while renewable electricity powers the rest.

Turning iron ore into steel takes extreme heat and carbon. Unfortunately, this produces a lot of emissions. Can we find a better, cleaner way?

Steel supports bridges, trains, buildings and modern industry, but its traditional coal-fired recipe produces around 8% of global Co2 emissions. We step inside the blast furnace to explore cleaner methods including recycling, carbon capture, biocarbon, direct-reduced iron, green hydrogen and molten oxide electrolysis. Some are already making steel, others are still experimental. With abundant clean electricity, this essential material could enter a new age of green steel.
