The chlorine atoms then steal hydrogen atoms from methane to make hydrochloric acid (HCl), which can be captured and recycled. The methane atoms decompose into carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen (H2), the same way it is processed naturally but at a rate that's roughly 100 million times faster in the reaction chamber."
"In the Pacific Northwest alone, there are multiple startups in the field. Muir AI, Earth Finance, Scope 5, and Carbon Direct focus on carbon accounting and reductions strategies, and some additional services. LevelTen Energy and Ever.green aid companies in forging contracts with clean energy producers."
"'The trouble with talking about nuclear waste is that most people don't know what it is or what it looks like. Thanks to The Simpsons, many people think nuclear waste is a bright green liquid and stored in leaky oil drums,' she explained. 'I find that when people see pictures of nuclear waste and discover that it's actually solid metal, safe enough to hug [when safely stored] and actually quite boring—it alleviates a lot of their anxieties.'"
"The declaration is the latest sign of shifting sentiment toward nuclear power, which doesn’t produce carbon dioxide emissions, but has often been criticized over the waste it generates, the cost of building plants and potential security issues. Support has gained traction especially as clean back-up for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. The countries will also commit to new technologies, such as small modular reactors."
"In those simulations, the researchers found that reducing the warming effect of contrails by 73% increased fuel costs by just 0.11% and overall costs by 0.08%, when averaged across those tens of thousands of flights. (Only about 14% of the flights needed to be adjusted to avoid forming warming contrails in the simulations.)"
The Tar Heel State is well positioned to lead the country in bringing the next generation of affordable, clean energy online.
"Over 181,000 fully electric vehicles were sold worldwide in February, which is up 138% compared to February 2020, per Morgan Stanley and data partner EV-Volumes. And January's numbers were even higher."
AltaRock’s ongoing research into millimeter-wave technology and discoveries like self-healing cement have the power to transform the energy industry’s future.
Reforming vague and overreaching efforts to more carefully walk a line that better aligns incentives and works with property owners could help eliminate some of the ESA’s harmful side effects.
"Adolfo Aiello, deputy director-general at Eurofer, says European steelmakers could face competition on multiple fronts: not just from 'cheaper dirty steel' but also 'greener steel from third countries.' The risk, he adds, is that the EU becomes 'a demand centre for green steel' with dirty steel being diverted elsewhere. The result, he says, 'would be a net negative impact on the climate.'"
