While there’s lots of angst and hand-wringing — deservedly so — about Canada and the world’s ability to get to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, there are also plenty of commercial opportunities arising because of that effort. At Manitoba Environmental...
This Eco-friendly Concrete Uses Biochar
The biochar was able to suck up to 23 percent of its weight in carbon dioxide from the air. Washington State University (WSU) researchers have engineered a carbon-negative, environmentally friendly concrete that is nearly as strong as regular concrete by...
How are Countries Counting on Carbon Removal to Meet Climate Goals?
Over the last five years, more than 80 countries have committed to reaching “net-zero” emissions by mid-century. This means reducing emissions and, in some cases, scaling up carbon removal so the sum of emissions and removals equals zero. When setting...
The World is Aiming for Net-zero Emissions by 2050. Here’s What That Means
In theory, it's balancing emissions with removal of greenhouse gases — but the latter isn't easy Canada has committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 to fight climate change. At the upcoming COP26 climate summit, hitting net zero globally by 2050...
Scarce Carbon Storage Threatens Net-Zero Push as Emissions Keep Rising
As more and more governments and companies commit to becoming “net-zero” the demand of carbon capture and storage technologies will increase rapidly. But will we have enough carbon sequestration solutions to meet this demand in time to avoid a major climate crisis?
