"Moving to renewable energy and electric vehicles can help reduce GHGs. But we can’t transition to them overnight. There are other ways to reduce GHGs. One method often discussed is carbon capture and storage (CCS). It’s also known as carbon sequestration, carbon scrubbing and clean coal technology."
"The lithium industry, if it continues to grow in southwest Arkansas, is expected to bring thousands of jobs to a corner of the state that was in decline for decades after the 1980s oil crash. Thousands moved away as the region’s oil wells dried up and big plants closed."
“One such company, Soil Carbon Co., based in Australia’s New South Wales, claims that by tailoring communities of microbes that live within farm soil, humans can potentially turn back the clock on human emissions while producing better crops.”
The Nuclear Energy Declaration is a major step in helping countries meet their climate goals and represents the most ambitious international commitment to nuclear energy to date.
“Crucially, none of these monumental steps forward in the fight against climate change were government-mandated. Private companies are voluntarily shifting towards more environmentally-friendly ways of operating.”
"If the reefs collapsed completely, it would be disastrous for the Florida Keys. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the reefs in Southeast Florida are valued at $8.5 billion and sustain 70,000 full- and part-time jobs. The barrier reef also protects the Keys from hurricanes and major storms by soaking up wave action."
“’Carbon capture and storage is a proven technology and has the potential to play a key role in decarbonising energy and industries across sectors to meet international climate targets.'"
"However, Rainbow is now working with K-Tech, a Lakeland, Fla.-based chemical technology firm, on a novel approach to processing the rare earths further into more valuable rare-earth oxides. It is testing out a faster, more environmentally friendly way, known as continuous-ion chromatography, which has been used in photography. Bennett hopes to start producing rare-earth oxides with K-Tech on a trial basis by the end of March."
“Alongside proposed tax credits and other financial incentives for carbon capture from industrial facilities and power plants, Wolf said expanding this infrastructure would preserve high-paying jobs in energy-producing, agricultural and industrial states and significantly reduce net carbon emissions.”
"It's telling that the White House and Department of Energy have not even offered answers to those two huge questions about the potential consequences of this decision. If the entire policy is predicated on the importance of slowing global emissions, it's only fair to expect the federal government to show its work and prove that reducing the growth of American LNG exports actually will reduce global emissions."
