IEEE Discusses 6 Simple Solutions to Climate Change at COP27

Cars That Think

Simple, effective solutions that can help lessen the impact of climate change already exist. Rahman, a power expert and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Virginia Tech , is the former chair of the IEEE ad hoc committee on climate change. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.

Construction begins on DOE-sponsored carbon-capture project at Kentucky Power Plant

Green Car Congress

When completed later this year, the unit will test a system conceived by the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (UKCAER) at slipstream-scale to capture carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from the flue gas of an operating coal-fired power plant.

DOE awarding $72M to 27 projects to develop and advance carbon capture technologies, including direct air capture

Green Car Congress

Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. In prior work with DOE, MTR has advanced membrane CO 2 capture technology for coal power plants through small engineering scale testing and studies.

Steep increase in global CO2 emissions despite reductions by industrialized countries; driven by power generation and road transport

Green Car Congress

Throughout the Kyoto Protocol period, industrialized countries have made efforts to change their energy sources mix. This needs to be considered in future years in all efforts to mitigate the growth of global greenhouse gas emissions, as desired by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Bali Action Plan and the Cancún agreements.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

And the Norwegian company H2Carrier recently received approval in principle for its concept for an industrial-scale floating production unit to make green ammonia at sea. In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero. Why all the hype about hydrogen?
