As they walled off rivers and created dry islands from what was previously soggy marsh, they discovered incredibly rich soil. No one foresaw that this very bounty — soil rich with organic material — would, over time, become a curse of sorts. DWR measures the CO2 and methane emissions from the wetlands it created on Sherman Island.

Methane, a greenhouse gas which is belched out in high volumes by cattle, has been identified by the UN and world leaders as the quickest route to cut global heating. It underplays climate impacts, stating that “research has shown that cows do not produce as much methane gas as was once believed”.

Some of you may recall the boom-and-bust cycle of clean tech from 2006–2011. Developed a remote Carbon Index to quantify soil organic carbon as a tool to help verify soil-based carbon offsets. Any decision-maker looking to abate their climate impact and/or minimize their risk to climate change is a potential customer.

But environmental campaigners have criticised manure management technologies such as anaerobic digesters, which they argue help large-scale factory farms to continue operating “under the guise of mitigating climate change,” pointing out that methane-capture technologies fail to address the majority of the industry’s emissions.

Soil degradation. Lab-grown meat dramatically cuts back on carbon emissions , methane emissions, water consumption and land use. The beauty of this type of agriculture, is that it does not require soil. One such attempt was Rimonabant in 2006. What if we could genetically enhance cows to not emit methane anymore?

Sierra has been ranking the environmental performance of colleges since 2006. This coming November, ASU is planting 1,000 native trees in its carbon sink forest (which now includes a climate tower, replete with weather- and soil-measuring equipment). The past year saw another solar installation and a new wind power project go online.

A growing group of environmentalists, politicians, communities, and even the industry’s own workers have become increasingly critical of the fossil fuel industry, and see room for action under the Biden administration, though most attention has been placed on hot-button topics like climate change and methane emissions.
