13:43 | Bjørn Otto Sverdrup (OCGI) describes a possible path for the industry to pivot to net-zero operations, reimagining the role it could play in helping decarbonize the economy and igniting changes in how we consume energy.
11:27 | Biochar is a kind of charcoal that removes CO2 from the atmosphere, helping yield healthy crops and even producing abundant renewable energy in the form of electricity as it’s made.
6:50 | Sophia Kianni and Climate Cardinals is translating and sourcing crucial climate resources into more than 100 languages.
25:56 | Planting trees will save the climate. At least, that’s the claim of many environmental organizations. Massive reforestation efforts are taking place worldwide. But just how effective are these campaigns?
13:24 | Balancing renewable power sources on modern electricity grids is becoming one of the greatest logistical challenges of our time.
42:26 | Algae are perhaps the most adaptable and productive organisms on Earth. They’re an important food source, and their ability to provide oil could make them a replacement for fossil fuels.
12:07 | Some say it’s the fuel of the future that will soon power large parts of our economies. Others say it’s just a hoax propagated by the oil and gas industry.
4:44 | With lingering questions over the mining of rare metals, battery manufacturing and electricity consumption, we investigates whether electric vehicles are as green as we’ve been led to believe.
14:08 | Halla Tómasdóttir urges us all to recognize our power and to use our voice, vote and wallet to catalyze meaningful climate action.
11:45 | From village to metropolis, global flooding is on the rise, and traditional approaches to managing the swells won’t cut it.
15:59 | Algae has been used by humans for thousands of years, but the idea of using algae as a secret weapon to combat climate change is definitely a modern day concept.
12:16 | Solar, wind and wave power from a single offshore platform?
11:36 | “How much more damage do we have to endure before we realize that it’s cheaper to save this planet than to ruin it?”
7:25 | Sitting in a row outside of the factory, these giant batteries are the size of freight containers. Powered by vats of iron and saltwater, they’re called iron flow batteries.
9:57 | The financial sector often talks of decarbonizing investment portfolios as a way to fight climate change. But portfolios can be “cleaned” without having any real impact on the problem.
11:36 | Ammonia has great potential as a fuel source, if only a way could be found to produce it without the huge carbon dioxide emissions it currently creates.
12:05 | Using 4000 or so markers we visualize the human impact on climate change during the last 70 years.
9:15 | When it comes to tackling climate change, the size of a country doesn’t matter — it’s their ambition that counts.
12:26 | Eckardt Heukamp is refusing to budge: He’s the last remaining resident of Lützerath in North-Rhine Westphalia, situated on the edge of a huge open-cast lignite mine.
12:19 | Manganese dioxide flow batteries may offer a very cost effective way of bridging the gap between short duration lithium-ion batteries and longer duration technologies like hydrogen.
8:38 | Concrete is simple, cheap, strong and lasts long. But the wonder material that’s all around us is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions — and it’s not easy to change that.
22:59 | Vi har talt med 3 danske EU-parlamentsmedlemmer om et udspil der skal finde opbakning i et EU-samarbejde, hvor der er langt imellem de klimapolitiske ambitioner i f.eks. Polen og Danmark.
6:53 | Africa needs new energy sources to fuel its development, but the continent should invest in renewable energy instead of cheap, polluting alternatives like coal.
7:35 | As the arctic warms four times faster than the global average, Europe’s only indigenous population is under threat.
10:08 | A team in Cambridge has developed a film that can amplify the number of photons that a solar photovoltaic panel can use, with a potential increase in efficiency to as much as 35%.
11:15 | If we really want to get serious about fighting climate change, we need a way to track carbon pollution in real-time and identify the worst culprits.
15:10 | Carbon offsets sound so promising: If you emit some CO2, you can just pay someone else to reduce that amount somewhere else, and you’re good! But is it too good to be true?
9:21 | In 2020, China’s President Xi Jinping pledged that China would both peak its emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060.
7:34 | Kan man fange, lagre eller endnu bedre genanvende klimaskadelig CO2 til flydende grønt brændstof?
13:38 | We currently have enough fossil fuels to progressively transition off of them, says climate campaigner Tzeporah Berman, but the industry continues to expand oil, gas and coal production and exploration.
12:52 | The country sized glaciers on Antarcticas outer edges have been receding for years, but now new research has shown the disintegration of Thwaites, or Doomsday, Glacier is accelerating fast.
9:57 | “Cutting methane is the single fastest, most effective opportunity to reduce climate change risks in the near term,” says atmospheric scientist Ilissa Ocko.
10:13 | When it comes to climate change, the majority of us think we’re personally doing our bit, but that we’re being let down by everyone else, including our own neighbours.
8:03 | Climate action can be a vehicle to deliver dignity, opportunity and equality for all.
12:56 | Part 3 of the Science of Cranky Uncle looks at how to use critical thinking to deconstruct misinformation and identify any misleading reasoning fallacies.
