APRIL 19, 2011

A new study led by Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology has found that the expansion of sugarcane crop in Brazil in areas previously occupied by other Brazilian crops cools the local climate. The study is published in the second issue of Nature Climate Change. Nature Climate Change doi: 10.1038/nclimate1067.

APRIL 29, 2016

The Bakken Formation, a shale oil and gas field in North Dakota and Montana, is emitting roughly 2% (about 250,000 tons per year) of the globe’s ethane, according to new study led by researchers at the University of Michigan. And they’re sufficient to explain much of the global shift in ethane concentrations. Gvakharia, A. Peischl, T.

We’re seeing over $350 billion globally put forward from now to 2030 on electrification. For me, the most important thing is that there is an urgency across the planet to address climate change. They’re designing cars for the global market, most of them. That’s the second reason. Every car company is making huge investments.
