"Both climate change and artificial intelligence are sprawling, cross-disciplinary fields. Both will transform literally every sector of the economy in the years ahead. There is therefore no single 'silver bullet' application of AI to climate change. Instead, a wide range of machine learning use cases can help in the race to decarbonize our world."
"Imagine if you will a renewable source of energy without constraints of time of day or weather. A renewable source of energy whose surface of potential is just now being scratched. Perhaps most importantly in today’s political environment, a source of renewable energy that does not rely on supply chains dominated by adversarial nations as the source of its feedstock, but America’s family farms instead."
An innovative startup in Maine has prototyped a simple (and brilliant) idea in the up-and-coming field of carbon removal.
ExxonMobil will be challenged to innovate in ways it never thought possible. That's good news for customers and the planet.
"While the capacity of solar installed at schools is up, so to is the total number of schools with solar installations, rising 81% since 2014. As of 2020, 7,332 schools nationwide have solar systems accounting for 1,337 MW of capacity."
"If the CO2 emissions generated through the production of hydrogen can be captured and sequestered, hydrogen can be generated and used without CO2 emissions — a two-for-one proposition that could have a great impact on climate recovery."
"Across all scenarios in the study, utility-scale diurnal energy storage deployment grows significantly through 2050, totaling over 125 gigawatts of installed capacity in the modest cost and performance assumptions — a more than five-fold increase from today’s total. Depending on cost and other variables, deployment could total as much as 680 gigawatts by 2050."
"The partnership will help meet global data center needs with energy-efficient and water-conserving facilities which use 70% less power for cooling and eliminate the consumption of drinking water. The partnership will help to transform the environmental footprint of the data center sector and to close the digital divide by deploying to cities, rural communities, and developing economies around the world."
"Electric vehicles will rise to dominate car sales in the next two decades, though their adoption will fall short of global climate goals without new government incentives and tighter emissions standards, according to BloombergNEF."
Cheniere is a great example of an energy producer and exporter making huge strides toward sustainability. For American market-based environmentalists, this form of corporate responsibility is more than laudable; it is the future.
