Reversing Trump permitting revisions could hamper Biden’s clean energy goals
"President Joe Biden’s plans to build massive amounts of clean energy over the next decade could get caught in a web of environmental permitting requirements."

Can this mineral help boost the carbon stored in oceans?
"The natural process Project Vesta is trying to encourage is the carbonate reaction. This is how CO2 from the air gets absorbed by oceans and ultimately is transformed into calcium carbonate, which eventually forms sediment and limestone on the ocean floor, sequestering carbon out of the atmosphere for long-term storage."

Green hydrogen costs could reach parity in a decade, report finds
"A new analysis by the ICF Climate Center, shared exclusively with Axios, shows that the cost of zero-carbon, green hydrogen could reach parity with more greenhouse-gas intensive ways of making the gas in as little as the next decade."

44.01 secures $5M to turn billions of tons of carbon dioxide to stone
"The holes would maximize surface area, and highly carbonated water would be pumped in cyclically until the drilled peridotite is saturated. Importantly, there’s no catalyst or toxic additive, it’s just fizzy water, and if some were to leak or escape, it’s just a puff of CO2, like what you get when you open a bottle of soda."

A Jobs-Killing Civilian Climate Corps Is Not the Way To Fix Climate Change
"The backlog of forest restoration projects suggests that there are issues on public lands that really need to be addressed, but that is not an argument for creating a vast new federal bureaucracy with as many as 1.5 million government employees. Public projects, such as roads, ports, schools, sewers, and dikes, are usually built by private companies, not by a new Civilian Construction Corps."

1.2-GW Dedicated Hydrogen-Fired Power Plant Starts Taking Shape in Texas
Sonal Patel reports on Power about Entergy’s 1.2 GW hydrogen-powered power plant. “Entergy kicked off its green hydrogen exploration last September by forging an alliance with power generation technology and equipment giant Mitsubishi Power. Under the partnership, the two companies suggested they were developing hydrogen-capable CCGT facilities and related infrastructure to enable hydrogen production, storage, and...
