"As it gets late in the afternoon, the winds will start to die right down. Then we’ll start coming in and doing all of our night burns so we can get more control of that fire and make it do exactly what we want. If you come into one of our burns, what we call cold burns, you can literally walk along with the fire, touch the soil. Green grasses are still there."
"There’s an old joke that a farmer’s top three priorities are yield, yield and yield. Some scientists remain skeptical that Pivot’s biological solutions can replace chemical solutions on a grand scale without hurting yields. But so far, most of Pivot’s customers are coming back for more, which suggests they’re seeing financial benefits. Those benefits could increase if more countries crack down on nitrous oxide, as the Dutch government did in January. And the economics could become even more favorable as fledgling carbon markets begin to reward farmers for reducing emissions from fertilizer use."
With investments in a hydrogen highway, Georgia may be paving the way forward for widespread hydrogen implementation in the transportation sector.
The new sustainable solution for recycling epoxy turbine blades exemplifies the work of the private sector in developing innovative solutions to address energy and environmental challenges.
As one of the most popular and safest forms of global transportation, aviation is essential to powering modern life. Air travel helps move goods around the world and empowers people to explore the world. With respect to other forms of transportation, aviation has a relatively small contribution to the world’s climate footprint —accounting for around...
"The technology builds on years of research led by Matt Eisaman, the company’s CTO and co-founder, who recently joined Yale University’s Center for Natural Carbon Capture as a faculty member. Eisaman first met Tarbell, a former SolarCity executive, several years ago when both were working with Alphabet’s innovation arm, X."
This DIY beverage can massively help slash the climate costs of your pint.
"The companies said they plan to use the thermal energy generated by the SMRs to support the electrolysis of water into clean hydrogen, which could be used to fuel backup generators that would support the site. Hydrogen, which can be burned in engines that also run on natural gas, is being tested as an alternative to diesel fuel in backup generators. The fuel also could support other projects in Virginia using hydrogen fuel."
"Agrivoltaic researchers have been assembling evidence that the partial shade of solar panels can improve crop yields while conserving water and soil. The relationship is reciprocal, as the vegetation beneath the array creates a cooling microclimate that improves solar conversion efficiency."
"Across the nation, wildfires are growing in intensity and frequency as climate change sparks prolonged droughts. The initial cause can vary — a spark from downed electric lines, a lightning strike or a cigarette butt tossed out a car window — but the result is the same: Once vegetation dries out, it can easily ignite."
