Clean Hydrogen From Nuclear Power

R-Squared Energy

Bush in his 2003 State of the Union address. The vast majority of the world’s commercial hydrogen — over 95% by most estimates — is produced using the steam methane reforming process (SMR). In fact, more carbon is generated in the production of hydrogen via SMR than if you simply burned the methane used to make the hydrogen.

Arctic fires released more carbon in two months than Scandinavia will all year

Grist

By the end of the month, Arctic fires had pumped 59 megatons of carbon dioxide into the air, eclipsing the 53 megatons emitted in June 2019 and setting a new high-water mark for Arctic fire emissions in records going back to 2003. But things were still heating up.

Don’t Look Down

Grist

Combined with a $40,000 laser he dragged behind him on a plastic sled he’d nicknamed “The Coffin,” Hasson is able to link surface methane emissions to the ice disappearing underground. For instance, recent studies have found that emissions of carbon and methane released by thawing permafrost have been drastically underestimated.
