As U.S. LNG Expands in Europe, a Hidden Threat Grows

DeSmogBlog

In March, President Biden and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a joint task force with the goal of getting Europe off Russian gas and onto more of America’s fracked gas. Most Russian gas reaches Europe via pipeline, so getting U.S. Radioactive Natural Gas’s Journey to Europe. Credit: Julie Dermansky.

IGME, ULL collaborate on shallow geothermal research in Canary Islands

ThinkGeoEnergy

The project aims to demonstrate the potential of shallow geothermal energy for the heating and cooling sector in the Canary Islands. TRTs are used to evaluate the soil’s ability to transfer heat and are critical in correctly designing geothermal air conditioning systems, ensuring their optimal efficiency and performance.

Restoring Degraded Forests Could Bring Back Lost Rainfall, Cooler Temperatures

The City Fix

Many people point to forest restoration as a way to curb climate change, where replanted forests sequester carbon in trees and soils. But emerging evidence shows that restoration can provide non-carbon climate benefits, too — in particular, reducing heat and regulating rainfall. Here’s what.

Yafali and his family found respite in their AC, but they were fortunate outliers; Seattle, known for its cool, wet winters and mild summers, is one of the least air conditioned big cities in the country. They took refuge in shady parks or in community cooling centers. Kathryn Elsesser / AFP via Getty Images The short answer is yes.

Geothermal well drilled for energy storage of waste incineration plant in Finland

ThinkGeoEnergy

One geothermal well drilled to 2,000 meters produces the same amount of energy as more than a dozen traditional shallower wells, and it is also suitable for heat storage and cooling,” said Samuli Salmela, CEO of Geomachine. Salmenvaraa explains that the increase in drilling depth results in substantially higher thermal output.
