The microbes were found in the Amazonian peatlands of Peru and could be valuable for sequestering carbon in the damp soils.

The additions made Amazon the largest corporate purchaser of renewable power, according to BloombergNEF. The company’s total portfolio is split roughly evenly between utility-scale wind and solar farms and on-site solar power projects. In total, it’s enough to power 8.3 million homes, Amazon said.

Scientists discovered microbes in Amazon peatlands that control carbon storage. If peatlands stay stable, they store carbon.

Complex organisms, thousands of times smaller than a grain of sand, can shape massive ecosystems and influence the fate of Earth's climate, according to a new study.

An arrangement between the owners of a nuclear plant in Pennsylvania and Amazon Web Services is the first such to come before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Complex organisms, thousands of times smaller than a grain of sand, can shape massive ecosystems and influence the fate of Earth's climate, according to a new study.

With legislation such as the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) now in force, customers and resellers alike are expecting more detailed carbon emissions reporting across all three Scopes from suppliers and vendors, according to Canalys.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is backing a pioneering Manchester project involving a "super species" of moss that researchers say could be the answer in the fight against climate change.

A study reveals that fire emissions in the Amazon and Cerrado are largely driven by the smoldering combustion of woody debris. This crucial discovery highlights the significant influence of fuel characteristics on fire emissions,

The Frozen Ground Under Threat Permafrost is like Earth's ancient freezer, stretching over vast regions, mainly near the North and South Poles. It holds soil, rocks, and sub-zero water, remaining frozen for two years or more.

Researchers have identified an unknown family of microbes uniquely adapted to the waterlogged, low-oxygen conditions of tropical peatlands in Peru's northwestern Amazonian rainforest. The new research shows these microbes have a dual role in the carbon cycle and the potential to either moderate or intensify climate change.
