Why we still need carbon, how much is sustainable, and how should we move it around? Why do we still need to capture carbon for the future green transport system? To achieve its net-zero target by 2050, Europe must decarbonise all of its transport sector. While direct electrification is rapidly … [continued]
A study by the Royal Academy shows that geoengineering is fraught with climate and political dangers that could backfire on humanity.
Mark Carney’s first federal budget arrived with the promise of discipline and credibility, but also a signal that Canada would stay in the clean economy race. The climate provisions were not new programs so much as extensions of what already existed. They provided more time for industry to commit to … [continued]
Carbon capture and storage has been marketed as a general solution to climate change. The record shows it is not. Where it does make sense is where chemistry gives you a high-volume, concentrated stream of CO2, where geography puts that stream on top of storage or at a pier with … [continued]
“The path to energy generation is the use of diverse no-carbon and low-carbon sources,” Tan Lee Leng, Singapore’s Minister-in-charge of Energy and Science, said in his opening keynote of the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) 2025. This year is the 18th running of SIEW. The event underscored Singapore’s strategic position … [continued]
I was first introduced to Atalanta Climate at the Hardware Meetup for Climate Week NYC. The company had been carting visually intriguing prototypes of their Ovi carbon dioxide (CO2) removal devices around the city on trailers behind bikes, showing them to both interested locals and global leaders in town for … [continued]
In a post earlier today, we reported on a joint study by Climate Central and World Weather Attribution that finds the actions taken by the nations of the world in the ten years since the Paris Climate Accords have helped to limit global heating by the end of this century … [continued]
Without a doubt, we need to install more clean, renewable energy and get more electric vehicles on the road in order to stop heating up the Earth. However, we need more than that now because we’ve already added too many greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. We all know that, but … [continued]
Clean technology was on full display last week. In addition to global and state leaders, Climate Week attendees include many potential clean technology customers and stakeholders. Furthermore, New York City is a global hub for venture capitalists looking for their next opportunity. There were many pitches going on, and I … [continued]
The publication of A prudent planetary limit for geologic carbon storage in Nature is an important moment in the conversation about carbon capture and storage. For decades storage has been discussed as if it were an almost limitless global sink, with estimates running from 10,000 to 40,000 gigatons of CO₂ … [continued]
