UNEP study: small number of measures targeting black carbon and tropospheric ozone could yield immediate climate benefits

Green Car Congress

The climate change benefit is estimated for 2050 and human health and crop benefits are for 2030 and beyond. Black carbon and tropospheric ozone are harmful air pollutants that also contribute to climate change. What are the multiple climate, health and crop-yield benefits (by region) of implementing the measures?

Ethiopian Dam Generates Power, but What's Next?

Cars That Think

Most of that electricity comes from relatively clean hydropower; the country has considerable hydro potential, and it has begun to harness it with other dams such as Tekeze and Gilgel Gibe. The region’s monsoon-driven climate will ultimately control how much water gets through. For water-managers downriver, that’s a problem.

Gravity Batteries, Green Hydrogen, and a Thorium Reactor for China

Cars That Think

Here’s How We Could Brighten Clouds to Cool the Earth Geoengineering—altering the planet to mitigate the worst effects of climate change—is an idea that has taken on new currency of late. This time around, though, the emphasis is on “green hydrogen”—that is, hydrogen produced using clean energy such as solar or wind power.
