Investing in Carbon Capture and Storage & Clean Coal: Obama and Harper’s “Environmental” Initiative

The Toronto Star article indicates that the oil sands are an important economic and energy resource for Canada, in the same way that coal resources are in the United States. This seems to me to suggest that Obama and Harper have put the writing on the wall for all to read: Oil and Coal are here to stay as mainstream parts of our energy supply mix.

Enhancing carbon sequestration in wood

Instead of deforesting tropical rainforests for the highest quality hardwoods, we can essentially make them from trees that grow in northern climates. Wood that is grown via sustainable forestry practices and modified with our acetylation process provides a far more sustainable model for producing high-performance lumber. If the wood is both grown and used locally, so much the better.

Livermore Lab and American Shale Oil team to study carbon sequestration

“Lawrence Livermore National Lab is a nationally recognized leader in scientific research on clean energy production”, said IDT Chairman and AMSO CEO Howard Jonas. “I’m delighted that the Lab will be working with AMSO to develop carbon sequestration approaches for oil shale production. Americans deserve affordable fuels developed using the best available environmental protection technologies.”

Rangelands carbon project underway

“The project will include auditing existing business productivity, financial returns and greenhouse gas emissions for the last five years, and an environmental audit of the pastoral leases,” Mr Alchin said.

“A soil and vegetation carbon accounting survey will be carried out across each of the three pastoral businesses.

“Carbon and economic modelling will also be undertaken to examine the most profitable, low-emissions and environmentally sustainable enterprise and management practices for each individual business.”

Air Products optimises carbon capture technology

“This is essential to being able to deliver CO2 for sequestration that meets the acceptable purity level. The data shows that impurities removal can be achieved during compression and without more expensive and complex flue gas de-sulfurization units and de-NOx units. The ability to achieve this at lower costs is encouraging to industries with large scale CO2 emissions,” he added.

Black Gold

“Most companies that generate bioenergy using pyrolysis view biochar as merely a byproduct burned to offset fossil fuel use,” he says. But if biochar is incorporated into the soil instead, “this sequestration offers the chance to turn bioenergy into a carbon-negative industry.”

The Right Way to Save the Planet

In the meantime, carbon sequestration remains and will remain crucial. Subsidizing these improvements, however, would be a mistake.
Removing prohibitive restrictions on building nuclear reactors and offering tax relief to alternative energy development would suffice. In the time that it will inevitably take for these infrastructural changes to occur, the Republicans should follow John McCain’s lead and support a cap and trade system to curb the growth of and eventually decrease emissions without placing radical strains on businesses.

FCStone Carbon Partners with ClimateSuite on Carbon Credit Management Platform

“Utilizing the ClimateSuite application will not only assist in verification and automation of carbon credits, but will also reduce costs of managing and registering carbon credits,” said FCStone Carbon President Mike Knobbe. “Additionally, the platform will add value and revenue to our large grain elevator network and producers through streamlining our services at a localized level.”
