The fight against climate change has turned attention to Earth’s oceans as a powerful tool for curbing carbon emissions. Startups like Captura, Ebb Carbon, and Equatic are innovating ways to harness the ocean's natural carbon-absorbing abilities. Their technologies aim to make the seas efficient carbon sinks. These efforts face challenges of scalability, environmental safety, and economic viability.
Scientists have developed a new 3D concrete printing method that captures carbon, enhancing the material’s strength and sustainability. This innovation significantly reduces the construction sector’s carbon emissions by incorporating CO2 directly into the concrete, promising a greener future for construction technologies.
A new carbon capture and storage project—the Live Oak CCS Hub—has been proposed for Iberville and West Baton Rouge parishes. The project is being advanced by Tenaska Development, an arm of Tenaska, an energy company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. The project represents a significant step toward addressing regional carbon emissions.
South American power producer AES Andes has submitted an environmental impact study (EIS) for a USD-10-billion green hydrogen and ammonia project in Chile. The proposed project, named Inna, will use wind and solar power to support industrial-scale production near Antofagasta. This initiative highlights the company's focus on renewable energy and decarbonization.
Is the Gulf of Mexico the best place to store climate-warming gases, or a danger to wildlife and people? Fishers in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, report their catch has plummeted from 1 million tons a season to just 150,000 tons since LNG operations began. Now, a new carbon storage industry is being developed in these waters. Once the nation’s richest fishing grounds, the Gulf faces yet another transformation.
