"Energy giants such as Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell are pushing carbon capture and storage—where carbon is gathered and buried underground—as part of a drive to reduce both their own and their customers’ emissions. Executives say the service could become a new source of income when the industry is grappling with how to adapt to a lower-carbon economy."
"Now, we’re on the third iteration, which seems to be piecemeal version of the old plan. What is the Green New Deal now? Everything, still. Infrastructure. Transit. Food."
"The bill would also create a grant program at the Interior Department to fund pilot projects to produce critical minerals, offering $50 million each year for three years starting in fiscal year 2022, according to the bill text."
"One of the proven technologies available that could play a major role is carbon capture and storage, or CCS, the process of sequestering industrial emissions and safely storing them permanently underground. CCS also promises the potential to reduce carbon emissions significantly at a cost competitive to other solutions, especially for the manufacturing sector."
"A sweeping new study, Free Economies are Clean Economies, released yesterday by the Conservative Coalition for Climate Solutions calls into question the climate policy orthodoxy espoused by progressives that relies on the heavy hand of regulation, higher taxes, central planning, and eliminating entire industries that are critical to the prosperity of our nation. The report confirms that, to tackle climate change, relying on markets and innovation is the more promising approach."
"Today, we're excited to share that we are committing $1 trillion to sustainable finance by 2030, which aligns with the ambitious agenda of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and builds on the work we outlined in our 2025 Sustainable Progress Strategy."
"U2’s The Edge — Killiney, Co Dublin, resident David Evans — says that countries need to consider adopting next generation nuclear power in order to meet their climate change targets."
Unlike traditional recycling, advanced recycling can handle contamination, impurities, mixed polymers, and low-quality, low-density plastics. By producing virgin-grade plastic feedstock, the process also avoids 'downcycling,' which decreases material quality over time. Conceptually, advanced recycling can be an infinite recycling process. "
"The 1,000 solutions are just the start of Piccard’s effort to dismantle the myth that sustainability and growth do not go hand in hand—they do, he argues, when the focus is on qualitative growth, which requires focusing on improving efficiency rather than quantity of production."
Apple has invested $200 million into timber-producing forest properties that will be used to help reduce carbon emissions.
