Natural gas is not a clean form of energy. Cleaner than coal? Sure – but that’s not saying a heck of a lot. Clean like solar or wind? No way! To start, the extraction process is rife with potential problems. Much of our natural gas comes through the process of hydraulic fracturingContinue Reading
Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) has introduced solar-powered system that converts natural gas to hydrogen with no carbon emissions. Developed in partnership with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and the STARS, the new generation system makes use of sunlight to convert natural gas and water into hydrogen and capture the carbonContinue Reading
India has taken significant strides by tapping into its renewable energy sources and technology to cut its carbon footprint. Over the last few years, the nation has witnessed a tectonic shift in its transport sector with the introduction of bio-fuels like ethanol that are indigenous, non-polluting and renewable. It isContinue Reading
At present, our atmosphere has 407 parts per million carbon dioxide (CO2). According to NASA, we’d have to go back to 650,000 years to experience CO2 concentrations this high. The impacts of the high concentration of this climate-changing greenhouse gas in our atmosphere are being felt globally. “Rethinking our energyContinue Reading
Among second generation carbon capture technologies stands ‘Calcium carbonate looping’ (CCL). But even though it is considered less toxic than alternatives and proved to yield low efficiency penalties, the method is still far from being market-ready. SCARLET-enabled breakthroughs are expected to give it a push.Continue Reading
