Climate Change #Liar-Deniers Are The New Racists

Creative Greenius

Your Greenius opines that today’s oil, coal and gas companies are the modern equivalent of pre civil war plantation owners raking in massive profits off the backs of black slaves and treating them worse than the slave owners in Jhango Unchained did. Who can understand the rationale of the depraved?

ventilation air from coal mines. Extended recovery and utilization, rather than venting, of associated gas and improved control of unintended fugitive emissions from the production. of oil and natural gas. Reduced gas leakage from long-distance transmission pipeline. with gas recovery and overflow control.

Study finds rising temperatures increase risk of unhealthy ozone levels absent sharp cuts in precursors

Green Car Congress

The study shows that Americans face the risk of a 70% increase in unhealthy summertime ozone levels by 2050, assuming continued greenhouse gas emissions with resultant significant warming (IPCC Scenario A2 and RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) 8.5.). Both scenarios assumed continued greenhouse gas emissions with significant warming.

Sasol and UCT researchers collaborate on the use of commercial iron catalysts to convert hydrogen and CO2 into green jet fuel and chemicals

Green Car Congress

This development is a significant step towards the implementation of CO 2 hydrogenation technology in South Africa. For decades, Sasol has been using its Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology to convert low-grade coal and gas into synthetic fuels and chemicals.

SwRI, UTSA seek to combine reverse water-gas shift and Fischer Tropsch synthesis in single reactor to produce low-carbon hydrocarbon fuels

Green Car Congress

The first will react hydrogen with CO 2 to make carbon monoxide (CO) and the second will convert the CO and hydrogen, a blend known as synthesis gas or syngas, into liquid hydrocarbon fuel by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Plant capacities ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of barrels of fuel per day.

We Need More Than Just Electric Vehicles

Cars That Think

Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. EVs lack tailpipe emissions, sure, but producing, operating, and disposing of these vehicles creates greenhouse-gas emissions and other environmental burdens.
