Aussie Brown Coal to Clean Hydrogen Plant will Address Carbon Capture “Eventually”
Proponents are celebrating Kawasaki Heavy Industry’s planned construction of a coal to hydrogen plant in Victoria, which is intended to prove the viability of the clean hydrogen supply chain. Just…
Robot probes the Red Sea’s carbon storage system
Warming waters and oxygen depletion in the Red Sea could slow the flow of organic carbon from the surface into the deep ocean where it can be stored, out of…
Ottawa’s latest climate plan bets on expensive and unproven carbon capture technologies
Last week, the federal government released its long awaited plan to tackle greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Bill C-12, if passed, commits Canada to “binding” targets every five years…
Study: Humanity “is beyond the point-of-no-return” on Climate Change
A pair of researchers from the Norwegian Business School have produced a climate prognosis so profoundly depressing even Katharine Hayhoe has publicly complained about it.
Claim: CCS can rapidly reduce emissions in sectors that have few other options to decarbonize, EFI/Stanford
The study, six months in the making, concludes that CCS offers a clean technology pathway for rapidly reducing emissions from economically vital sectors that have few other options to decarbonize.…
NASA supercomputing study breaks ground for tree mapping, carbon research
Scientists from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and international collaborators demonstrated a new method for mapping the location and size of trees growing outside of forests, discovering…
Spreading Asbestos Fibres and Running Fans Might Help Combat Climate Change
Scientists investigating the CO2 absorbing properties of mine waste have discovered asbestos fibres are a good candidate for climate change carbon capture projects.
In a warming world, New England’s trees are storing more carbon
Climate change has increased the productivity of forests, according to a new study that synthesizes hundreds of thousands of carbon observations collected over the last quarter century at the Harvard…
Arctic plants may not provide predicted carbon sequestration potential
The environmental benefits of taller, shrubbier tundra plants in the Arctic may be overstated, according to new research involving the University of Stirling.
