Communities & Governments Striving to Combat Climate Change in Australia
Not only can individuals fight climate change by their actions, so can communities, councils, and states. One such community is the semi-rural town of Dayboro situated about one hour north of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. Here in the idyllic surroundings (and busy coffee shops), we met with Brian Porter to … [continued]
New Renewable Fuel Standard Volume Targets Facilitate Renewable Natural Gas Production
On June 21, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a final rule that established biofuel volume requirements and standards for cellulosic biofuel for 2023–25 as part of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. The cellulosic biofuel category primarily applies to Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), a form of natural … [continued]
Teslas Visit Alternative Energy Site — Tip Mining In Brisbane
You can’t get much more alternative energy than tip mining. LGI estimates that there are hundreds of methane-producing tips across the country. (Note for American readers: a “tip” refers to a landfill in this case.) Many of these are in regional areas without systems to capture and destroy those emissions. … [continued]
Toyota Sweetens Mirai Fuel Cell Pot With Hydrogen From Biogas
Toyota’s Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric car could make a bigger impact on decarbonization than its sales figures suggest.
A 3-Way Deal To Use Wasted Energy In Natural Gas Distribution
Methane, commonly known as “natural gas,” can be sold in a number of different forms. According to the Alternative Fuels Data Center, in the United States, most natural gas is considered a fossil fuel since it originates from heat and pressure on organic materials over millions of years. However, renewable … [continued]
Husk Power Systems Provides Clean Energy For Rural People In Developing Countries
As a rural American, it’s easy for me to forget how good I personally have it. I’ve got 24/7 access to electricity, internet, and wireless service unless I go deep in the desert or far out in the woods. Even then, we’ve got amateur radio, satellite phones, and portable solar … [continued]
Cuba Is Boosting Climate Resilience In Agriculture
In a post by the Environmental Defense Fund, the organization shares that Cuba is boosting climate resilience in agriculture and explains three things that the small island country could show us.
Sustainable Paper’s Best Kept Secret: Biogas
Having spent 17 years working at a paper plant in a wide variety of roles, I am passionate about finding and sharing solutions for industries built around fossil fuels. The papermaking process is extremely energy intensive and requires thermal energy to dry paper, making it a challenging nut to crack. The path taken by Rolland to clean up its energy footprint is encouraging for the papermaking industry and serves as a model for other gas-consuming industries.
Why Natural Gas Can’t Blow Off Biogas Threat Any More
Natural gas is booming, but a new pilot project for biogas renewable energy certificates is yet another sign that the boom is about to bust.
