Currently, much research into carbon reduction is focused on fairly radical ideas but good, solid engineering, hull design and optimisation in particular, still has a major role to play in achieving the goal of reducing emissions.

Congress has provided hundreds of billions of dollars to speed the deployment of clean-energy technologies. Among the most articulate and almost certainly the wonkiest is Jesse Jenkins , a professor of engineering at Princeton University, where he heads the ZERO Lab—the Zero-carbon Energy systems Research and Optimization Laboratory, that is.

Developing technologies for the conversion of biomass and coal-to-liquid fuels. By 2035, cellulosic ethanol and/or coal-and-biomass-to-liquid (CBTL) fuels with carbon capture and storage could replace about 15% of current fuel consumption in the transportation sector (1.7–2.5 emissions, according to the report.

The basic idea behind ILUC is that biofuels use crops that might otherwise go to traditional uses, such as animal feed. This hypothetical GHG release is called the “carbon debt”. Varying these assumptions can change the resulting “carbon debt” from negative (net GHG release) to positive (no net GHG emissions). Not so fast.

If a cap-and-trade program includes offsets, regulated entities have the opportunity to purchase the “emission credits” generated by carbon offset projects to help them meet their compliance obligations. If Congress establishes a GHG emission cap-and-trade program, only sources not covered by the cap could generate offsets.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace.
