On Thursday the 19 th of August, the Climate Council in partnership with the law firm Shearman & Sterling, hosted an intriguing panel to discuss a major topic in the energy industry: Will low-carbon hydrogen be the silver bullet in APAC? But the question remained, “how low carbon is low-carbon hydrogen?”

Geologists at Ohio University are exploring the potential to turn abandoned coal mines into sources of carbon-free heating and cooling. The mine could “definitely” be a worthwhile source for energy, Madera-Martorell concluded. The university has already committed to becoming carbon neutral, but not until 2075.

While there’s no official definition of NIMBYism, a traditional definition frames it as someone saying that something is fine in the abstract, but not near me or my home. When communities oppose projects, some people are quick to point to NIMBY, or not-in-my-backyard, sentiments as a formidable and pernicious obstacle.

This might be the quickest and cheapest way for you to become carbon neutral, without retrofitting your vessels at all. This is the practice where natural gas is separated into hydrogen and CO2, where the hydrogen is used for the petrochemical industry and CO2 is simply released into the atmosphere.
