"The Energy Department gave the researchers $2 million to design devices with the compound that can be attached to vents at coal mines and dairy barns, which are big methane emitters. The idea is to alter the chemistry of emissions before they hit the open air, like a catalytic converter on a car."

Price Controls on Fuel Would Be Disastrous for Americans
"Policymakers need to remove government intervention that is driving up prices, not try to pass a bill that would double down on heavy-handed government."
New five-year offshore leasing program to be filed by June 30, Haaland says
"A lapse in the five-year program could drive down production by roughly 500,000 barrels per day, according to a March analysis by the American Petroleum Institute and the National Ocean Industries Association."
Biden Can Boost Energy Production—and Protect National Parks
"We cannot allow funding for conservation projects to disappear overnight. The revenue from offshore drilling is crucial to the American economy, to our energy security, and to the preservation of our natural and historical landmarks."
Summer electric bill shocker coming
"'The higher price is largely driven by supply and demand,' Nick Loris, vice president of public policy for C3 Solutions. 'Particularly with natural gas, which provides 38% of our electricity needs, we've been operating in an environment of constrained supply and higher demand.'"
Bridgestone’s tires are going circular
"LanzaTech’s innovation is in converting waste materials to ethanol, which is typically sourced from fresh fossil fuels-related carbon. It has turned steel mill emissions into Zara dresses and laundry detergent. With Bridgestone, LanzaTech will be turning tires into ethanol, which can then be turned into tires again."
The Energy Security and Emissions Twofer That Nobody Is Talking About
"Regardless, the longer-term bottom line remains unchanged: with some of the cleanest energy production in the world, progressively reducing Russia’s global energy market share through expanded production and export of U.S. oil and natural gas will deliver short-term benefits to energy security and the environment alike."
BP, Linde plan carbon capture project near Houston
"The BP-Linde venture aims to start storing CO2 from Linde's hydrogen gas plants and seek additional customers for an up to 15 million tonne sequestration facility. BP will develop and permit the venture's subterranean sites and Linde will provide gas compression technology to the venture."
Burning waste to make energy: How Amazon, American Airlines and Subaru are trying to get out of landfills
"In Covanta’s energy recovery facility, waste is burned at temperatures around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. There are 21 miles of pipes around the combustor, where the intense heat converts water into steam that turns a turbine, which powers a generator."
U.S. renewable industry sees ‘unnecessary barriers’ ahead
"The cost of a wind turbine rose 9 percent from a year earlier, in part because producers had to swallow a fivefold increase in the price of shipping and a fourfold rise in steel prices. Longer blades, taller towers and improvements in siting strategies allowed the levelized cost of wind power to keep falling last year, however."
