Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is starting to happen. A plethora of CCS projects has emerged in the last year, large and small in scope, in upstream and LNG, as well as energy-intensive industries beyond the oil and gas value chain including the power, steel, cement and fertilizer sectors.
The Alaska Airlines airplane will also be testing other new equipment as part of the ecoDemonstrator program. This will include a new agent for extinguishing fires, which could offer a reduced negative impact on the ozone layer and potentially replace the commonly used Halon 1301.
Dealing effectively with nuclear waste, whether through “deep isolation” or recycling, will allow us to have the power, safely and cleanly.
The Dual Drive compression systems is powered by both natural gas and electricity, allowing a smooth and instantaneous transition between the two.
"The boat, called Jellyfishbot, is about the size of a suitcase and so can get into the corners and narrow spaces where rubbish tends to accumulate but which are difficult for cleaners with nets to reach."

"Volvo is the latest automaker to lay out a grand vision for how it plans on tackling the twin challenges of electrification and autonomy."
"All the battery metals we need to power a billion electric vehicles could be lying on the floor of the Pacific Ocean — but collecting them and turning them into EV batteries is a major challenge."
