Salmon might seem like a good alternative to meat, in a world that needs to shift away from carbon-intensive cattle — at least the fish farming industry would have you see it that way. Carbon Capture and Storage. Below, a handful of DeSmog writers dive into the issues they’ll be watching in 2023. Aquaculture. Next year you will.

LNG boom threatens to release vast amounts of methane, a powerful climate pollutant that is the main component of natural gas. LNG as cheap, reliable, and the best bet of any energy source to meet Germany’s 2045 target for carbon neutrality. At a June event with German gas lobby group Zukunft Gas in Berlin, Rice promoted U.S.

A group of exciting start-ups are exploring whether the world's trash mountains could become a valuable source of low carbon hydrogen fuels. Still, there is potential for clean - low- or zero-carbon - hydrogen to take off, energy experts believe. One novel spin on emerging hydrogen fuel options is "clean hydrogen" made from trash.

This story is part of the series Getting to Zero: Decarbonizing Cascadia , which explores the path to low-carbon energy for British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. The economics of carbon-free living have fallen into place. The key will be making low-carbon fuels without creating new problems. Worried about the climate crisis?

Under growing pressure to rein in greenhouse gas emissions, developers of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are turning to questionable claims about “carbon neutrality,” “net-zero,” or “green LNG,” in order to pass muster with governments, investors, and society, who are becoming increasingly anxious about the climate crisis.

Early pioneers of these hydrogen-from-waste technologies such as Ways2H, SGH2 Energy (SGH2) and Standard Hydrogen say not only are they making carbon-free, energy-rich fuel, their approaches also will divert mountains of trash from landfills and waterways, cutting greenhouse gas emissions. There are other ways to make hydrogen.
