Transportation CO2 emissions often make up the largest portion of an individual’s carbon footprint (see graphic). Evaluating transport options is a logical approach, especially in the context of daily commuting and/or leisure trips abroad. The highest gCO2/ passenger km is a short haul flight (255gCO2), with international rail having the lowest gCO2/ passenger km (6gCO2).
This new catalyst was developed by chemical engineers at Stanford University and turns waste CO2 and hydrogen into chains of ethane, propane and butane, all molecules that can serve as a fuel source. The process can basically re-create the gasoline refining process but in a much cleaner manner.
A team from the Joint European Torus (JET) in Oxford (UK) managed to generate 50 megajoules of energy through nuclear fusion. The significance comes from the fact that this is more than double the previous record set in 1997. The results are good news for the advocates of nuclear energy as a clean alternative to …

Heineken UK released a new sustainability report which focuses on key sustainability trends: innovation in infrastructure, environmentally friendly experiences, and serving up a sustainable offering. The report suggests that a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions is achievable by switching to a renewable energy supplier in the next one or two years and predicted in the …
An early estimate puts the investment at $600B by 2040, to support a ratio of 30% of EVs being sold in total from all sold vehicles by 2030. To reach a net carbon zero position by 2050, the required investment is an estimated $1.6T. This explains why stakeholders are cooperating, in bi-lateral and tri-lateral working …
A French shipping company, a multinational aerospace corporation, and a French technology company are planning to test the concept of an enormous kite to help tow a cargo ship across the Atlantic Ocean. By using a kite, the expectation is to significantly reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The kite manufacturer is called Airseas …
