Food waste may become a powerful climate tool thanks to tiny reusable beads that capture carbon directly from the air. Keeping global warming below 1.5°C over the long term will require more than major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. According to climate scenarios outlined in the latest Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate [...]
A new carbon material could make capturing CO2 far cheaper by working with low heat. Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) before it enters the atmosphere is an important way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, despite decades of development, these technologies have not been widely adopted. The main reason is simple. Most existing methods are expensive [...]
Canada and Alberta are on the verge of a carbon pricing agreement that would raise the effective cost for the province’s industrial emitters to C$130 per metric ton, a significant jump from the current trading range of C$20 to C$40. Two sources familiar with the negotiations expect the deal to be finalized within the next […]

Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson is allocating $28.9 million through Canada’s Energy Innovation Program for a slate of green initiatives, with carbon capture, utilization and storage emerging as the clear priority by dollar value. The largest portion of the funding will go to five carbon capture, utilization and storage projects. Within that group, two Saskatchewan […]

For four years, battles over private property rights have gridlocked state legislatures across the Midwest and stalled plans for a pipeline to transport liquified carbon dioxide from ethanol plants in the region. In the background of this eminent domain standoff, Iowa-based Summit Carbon Solutions, the company behind the pipeline, has quietly shifted its focus from […]
With the deadline for the Alberta-Canada memorandum of understanding on pipelines fast approaching – on April Fool’s Day a week from today – a newly formed coalition of First Nations, farmers and other rural residents is demanding a comprehensive environmental assessment on a proposed pipeline that would carry liquified carbon waste from the oilsands south […]
