…already under-taken projects using CO2 in agriculture and greenhouses, while industrial gas and monitoring companies can also benefit. But the challenge is scale. Around 50Tpa of CO2 is supplied to…
…sustainability report plans to test-plant 40 species of Empress Trees in 2019. Problems with Paulownia? Invasiveness? One of the largest pushbacks on reforestation is that large-scale planting of single forest…
…hour-by-hour data from 2020. EV charging and smart energy systems screen as the best new opportunities. Gas-fired backups also remain crucial to ensure grid stability. The outlook for grid-scale batteries…
…way to blue. Blue hydrogen is not just a low-carbon fuel. More importantly, it is the most economic and practical route to establishing large-scale carbon capture and storage. Economics are…
…sufficient size or scale for this feat until around 2100. What is also different today is that policy-makers seem intent on banning incumbent energy sources before we have transitioned to…
CO2-EOR is the most attractive option for large-scale CO2 disposal. Unlike CCS, which costs over $70/ton, additional oil revenues can cover the costs of sequestration. And the resultant oil is…
…stable and water-resistant, then synthesizing them in continuous, mass-scale processes that do not require expensive solvents. Costs of metal organic frameworks remain unclear. One paper suggests baseline costs of $35-70/kg….
…Ellis Bailey. The first vertical farms were actually built in the 1950s, to grow cress indoors at large scale. LED application for plant growth was first studied in the 1990s,…
…by 2050, up from 4% in 2022? In total energy terms, this means a 10x further scale up, to 35,000 TWH of useful wind+solar energy in 2050. Gross global wind…
…the rationale for the purchases, the projects supported, how they are verified, their scale and their cost. We find appetite for carbon offsets accelerating. 60% of the projects are reforestation…
