The smokestack of a ship might help us deal with spiking levels of methane. Byย Bill McKibben Iโ€™veย long feltย that one of my great failings as a climate communicator has come in trying to get across the dangers posed by methane, the second most damaging greenhouse gas, after carbon dioxide. Despite long years of many people trying to underscore the risks of methane, our go-to shorthand for climate pollution remains โ€œcarbon.โ€ Thatโ€™s why companies and political leaders boast about how much theyโ€™ve reduced their carbon emissions, but, if they managed the trick by substituting gas for coal, their total contribution to global...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and ETH Zurich have releasedย a new studyย investigating to what extent direct capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the ambient air can help to effectively remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.ย  The findings were impressive with some estimates stating up to 97% of greenhouse gas emissions could be captured. The scientists investigatedย a total of five different configurations for capturing CO2ย from the air at eight different locations around the world: Chile, Greece, Jordan, Mexico, Spain, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. These measures do not forego the need to reduce emissions but are rather an alternative to...

A tiny pellet of deuterium and tritium released more energy than it absorbed from the National Ignition Facilityโ€™s bank of 192 lasers. ย  Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) announced today that it has produced a fusion reaction in the laboratory that yielded more energy than was absorbed by the fuel to initiate it. Zapping a BB-size capsule of fusion fuel with UV light from 192 lasers at the labโ€™s $3.5 billion National Ignition Facility (NIF), scientists say they sparked fusion reactions that released 1.3 megajoules of energy, about five times the 250 kilojoules that were absorbed by the capsule. That...

The Norwegian government has updated its strategy for all data centres across the country, to include new measures on sustainable growth and job creation. Titledย Norwegian data centres โ€“ sustainable, digital power centresย the government said its new strategy is part of a "commitment to digitalisation and the data-driven economy". Outlining six points of action the government has committed to: strengthen promotion of the country, for example through Invest in Norway; publish English language business guides for foreign investors; implement requirements for operators to "investigate" use of surplus heat; create a heat map to support measure three; work with a public committee...
