Robert Blanchette, University of Minnesota) Click to enlarge. Coal deposits—the fossilized remains of plants—were formed during a 60-million year period from around 360 to 300 million years ago. Once you have white rot you can break down lignin, the major precursor of coal. Punctularia strigoso-zonata.

Minnesota’s largest utility expects to cut more than 80% – and possibly up to 88% – of its emissions by 2030, putting it on track to hit Minnesota’s goal of net zero by 2040. GW of “always-available resources” by 2030 as backup power during peak demand. gigawatts (GW) of new wind and solar into the mix in the Midwest.

Researchers from the University of Minnesota have produced a spatially and temporally explicit life cycle inventory (LCI) of air pollutants from gasoline, ethanol derived from corn grain, and ethanol from corn stover for the contiguous US (the lower 48 states). Dashed lines show US average emissions. Credit: ACS, Tessum et al. Christopher W.

The Northern Midwest has a combination of a coal-heavy electricity grid, rural counties (with an assumed highway driving cycle), and cold weather that all contribute to higher relative emissions for the BEV. All vehicles have higher emissions in Minnesota, a colder state, compared to California. —Yuksel et al.

That would pave the way for eventual scale-up to capturing CO 2 from natural gas plants, which produce emissions containing about 5% CO 2 , to the higher concentrations of coal-fired power plants. The researchers are also hoping to develop something that might be tested in a submarine. We got lucky. McDonald, Jarad A. Odoh, Walter S.
