Natural gas is a fossil fuel, extracted from under the ground. While natural gas emits CO2 when combusted for heating or power generation, its CO2 emissions are only about 50% that of coal and about 80% that of gasoline or diesel. This is why natural gas is considered to be a transition fuel on the journey to Net Zero – […]
So, some of the largest corporates in the world are collaborating to buy sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). But what is SAF, and why is it important? Aviation accounts for about 2% of all global CO2 emissions. Being a sector where green branding is perhaps a bit more important than for many other sectors, airlines have been trying to significantly reduce […]
Coal is thought to be one of the key villains in our fight against climate change. And for a reason – almost 30% of all the global CO2 emissions come from power generation, and coal-based power plants contribute a dominant share of these emissions. While countries are trying to cut down on coal-based power and increase power from renewable energy […]
Could underground water reservoirs such as aquifers be a key avenue for heat energy storage, thus enabling low carbon heating and cooling?
Who said coal is dead? While India is ramping up its renewable energy power plants, it is not exactly giving coal power plants a step motherly treatment. Bowing to realities, the draft is suggesting an additional 17-28 GW of coal power plants over the next ten years.
The all-electric, off-road rally series Extreme E hosts races in areas threatened by climate change – what a useful concept! Following this motivating trend, it plans to hold it in Glenmuckloch in Scotland, which is a former coal mine site which is planned to be converted to into a Pumped Storage Hydropower plant and wind farm – two success stories […]
Biofuels from microalgae has reached a dead end, at least for now. Could concrete from algae have a rosier future? In contrast to traditional Portland cement, the startup Prometheus Materials’ microalgae-based bio-cement emits little CO2, recycles 95% of water used for production, and presents the potential of sequestering the carbon captured during its growth.
Disagreement on how best to measure greenhouse gas reductions of individual SAF production, raising questions about how the tax credit under the American IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) will be implemented.
Meta, Bank of America and BCG join major collective order for sustainable aviation biofuels (SAF). Could such a collective help scale SAF and bring down costs?
