A research facility prototype developed at the University of Canterbury will soon orbit Earth aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

A team of international researchers led by a University of Canterbury (UC) Engineering academic, believe they have discovered a potentially revolutionary key to reducing climate change impacts.

University of Canterbury engineering researchers are developing a carbon-neutral – even carbon-negative – way to create clean ‘green’ hydrogen to power our world more sustainably.

New Zealand engineering researchers are working on an innovative modular system to revolutionise the way we construct buildings; not just more rapidly, but also more environment-friendly, quake-resilient and recyclable.

University of Canterbury research into making biofilters more efficient could be key to New Zealand meeting its climate change targets, and improving cattle farming long-term.

On The Conversation Research Engineer Patricio Gallardo writes how a shift to coastal shipping and rail could cut New Zealand’s freight transport emissions and asks why we are not doing it.
