Reducing Methane Leaks
'Methane emissions remained stubbornly high in 2022 even as soaring energy prices made actions to reduce them cheaper than ever.' (International Energy Agency, Paris) >
Deep-Sea Mining Could Begin Soon
Deep-Sea Mining Could Begin Soon, Regulated or Not 'Mining the seafloor could boost global production of clean energy technology—and destroy the ocean in the process.' (Scientific American) >
CARBON CAPTURE/STORAGE: NORWEGIAN PROJECTS
'Research conducted by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) has revealed that storing carbon dioxide underground is not an exact science. It may carry even more risk and uncertainty than drilling for oil or gas, given the very limited practical, long-term experience of permanently keeping CO2 in the ground.' (Institute for Energy Economics & Financial Analysis, Lakewood, Ohio USA) >
Aligned National Energy Pathways
Australia Needs 1.5°C Aligned National Energy Pathways. 'The Australian government has objectives that contradict each other, and lacks a omprehensive plan for how it will achieve its emissions reduction goals.' (Institute for Energy Economics & Financial Analysis, Lakewood, Ohio, USA) >
Fossil Fuel GreenWashing
'The Climate Council is calling on the Australian Parliament to crack down on the shonky climate claims made by fossil fuel giants. In a submission to the Senate inquiry on greenwashing, released today, the Climate Council has named and shamed 10 fossil fuel corporations’ dubious climate plans.' (Climate Council is Australia) >
The Damage of Deep Sea Mining
Although DSM may possibly help satiate increasing global demand for various metals, it also has the potential to greatly disrupt many deep-sea habitats.' (Current Biology journal) >
Economic Development and Climate Change
Six decades and more than 1600 regions worldwide: New database on economic development and climate change. 'A new Database Of Sub-national Economic Output (DOSE) for the first time provides sub-national economic data for six decades and more than 1600 regions worldwide matched with climate observations. Developed by experts of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) the database aims to o better understand the implications of global warming on regional economic development and the true costs of climate change.' (Potsdam Institute, Potsdam, Germany) >
New Energies Future Mineral Requirements
'Clean energy technologies – from wind turbines and solar panels, to electric vehicles and battery storage – require a wide range of minerals and metals. The type and volume of mineral needs vary widely across the spectrum of clean energy technologies, and even within a certain technology (e.g. EV battery chemistries).' (International Energy Agency, Paris) >
HEAVY DUTY BATTERY ELECTRIC Mining Vehicles
Dynamic charging technology - for HEAVY DUTY BATTERY ELECTRIC mining vehicles. 'Achieve a 24/7 electric fleet by charging on the go. BluVein completely eliminates the 2- to 3-hour downtime associated with charging and charge bay infrastructure.' (BLUVEIN, Northgate, Brisbane) >
