India, China, Brazil, Japan, other non-Arctic countries want a voice on Arctic Council; interest in climate change impact and access to resources

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 16, 2012

Full members of the Arctic Council are Canada, Russia, the United States, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark (Greenland): the eight countries with Arctic territory. Many non-Arctic countries are interested in the Arctic as the “canary in the coal mine” that can teach them about how climate change will impact their own states.

Although neither ice sheet is expected to melt completely anytime soon, their incredible scale makes even small changes consequential for the future of our planet. And the data that Peregrine will gather will help scientists to understand how these critical areas will respond to climate change.

Encouraging the use of low-carbon alternatives is an essential part of meeting climate change targets as well as improving local air quality and health. More than 90% of such vehicles are powered by internal combustion engines burning oil-derived fuels.

MARCH 3, 2024

It’s a question that many travelers are asking themselves, as climate change threatens a growing number of tourist destinations — from glaciers to coral reefs, ski slopes to low-lying islands. When you go to Iceland, people walk for an hour to get to the glacier. There’s big machinery being installed. Where will it stop?”

CRI awarded €1.8M EU grant to scale CO2-to-methanol technology

Green Car Congress

APRIL 11, 2019

CRI developed the ETL technology to produce low-carbon intensity methanol from CO 2 and hydrogen and operates the first production facility of its kind in Iceland. Methanol purification: In distillation column(s) the crude methanol is separated into methanol (at design purity/quality) and water for re-use or disposal.

With the increasing threat of climate change, renewable energy has slowly but surely regained is prominence. Iceland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, and Austria were the global leaders in hydroelectric as of 2019. Ultimately, charging electric vehicles with renewable energy creates a “one-two punch” against climate change.
