The remarkable cost declines in solar photovoltaic (PV) and lithium-ion batteries over the past several decades have fueled optimism in the climate policy and investment community, with many hoping direct air capture (DAC) technologies might follow a similar trajectory. Policymakers, investors, and industry proponents frequently draw analogies between DAC and … [continued]
Recently I published a scathing assessment of the recent Tony Blair Institute whitepaper which claimed net zero was dead and that only direct air capture and nuclear could save us. As a result, Laurent Segalen and Gerard Reid invited me to join them on Redefining Energy to tear into Blair, … [continued]
Carbon emissions in China fell slightly int he first quarter of 2025 as more renewable energy and storage came available.
Agrivoltaics studies in Australia and Pennsylvania show sheep that graze under solar panels thrive and produce more and better wool.
For the first time, the growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth. The new analysis for Carbon Brief shows that China’s emissions were down 1.6% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025 and by 1% in … [continued]
By the time a port reaches the twenty-year mark on a thirty-year decarbonization roadmap the engineering problems are largely solved and the hard infrastructure is mostly in place; what remains is equal parts disciplined execution, digital finesse and opportunistic scaling. This logical progression builds upon the successful groundwork established in the … [continued]
Despite the abrupt shift in federal energy policy the US green hydrogen industry is not dead yet, but China already has an edge on production capacity.
