The friends, all engineers by training, had designed a machine that could turn agricultural waste, like almond shells, into renewable hydrogen fuel. The company would take those almond shells and other types of biomass, convert them into a carbon-rich oil, and inject the oil deep underground. Courtesy of Charm Industrial.

As a result, the industry accounts for roughly 8 percent of annual carbon dioxide emissions, as well as a toxic soup of air pollutants. But in order to curb steel’s carbon emissions, the sector will have to transform how the material is traditionally made. The furnaces that melt iron ore to make steel consume vast amounts of coal.

  But all this travel comes at a steep carbon cost. Kerosene is a “long-chain hydrocarbon”, which means it is made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms (specifically C 12 H 26 C 15 H 32 ). Other vegetable oils face land use and carbon footprint concerns. In 2022, aviation accounted for 2% of global CO2 emissions.
