This morning I had an excellent conversation with a lawyer with a maritime environmental non-governmental organization, Stephanie Hewson at the West Coast Environmental Law Association. She is preparing to testify to one of the highest legislative bodies in the country that they are based in, Canada’s Senate, regarding concerns about … [continued]

Elections have consequences. The newly installed Labour government in the UK announced this week that it will pump £22 billion (approximately $28 billion) into carbon capture and storage schemes over the next 25 years. The Guardian reports the move came after an extensive round of high pressure lobbying by fossil … [continued]

When I first read about the work of the University of Queensland research team claiming to create electricity from CO2, my initial thought was that this was a cross between a fossil fuel funded beatup and a fairytale. But, digging deeper, and talking with Dr Zhuyuan Wang of UQ’s ARC … [continued]

Here at CleanTechnica, we have written about electrifying personal watercraft and ferries — vessels used to cover short distances. Ocean-going cargo ships with all their containers are massive and need to travel much farther. It’s not possible to simply slap an enormous battery system and some electric motors in them … [continued]

Carbon capture is back on the hype cycle, years after it was last being pushed upon us as the only real solution to our climate change problem because . It’s a favorite of the fossil fuel industry for obvious reasons. Some of them are even saying the quiet part out loud, that it gives them the social license to not only continue to operate, but to actually increase extraction of coal, oil, and gas.

In recent months I’ve returned to the overlapping subjects of geoengineering and carbon capture, both of which I’d mostly satisfied myself about years ago. Both, however, are re-ascending the hype scale and at least for aspects of geoengineering, my curiosity was unsatisfied.
