This past fall, COP26 opened the door for discussions about many environmental issues. However, few presentations addressed one elephant in the room — the fact that the construction industry contributes up to 40% of ongoing carbon release. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) used the COP26 platform to offer a proposal that could reduce the impact of the built environment and implement systems that will result in a carbon-negative initiative.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

A Chinese study published in December aims to quantify the role of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) – and its predominance as a way of measuring organic pollution – in causing unnecessary GHG emissions. COD is widely used as an indicator of organic pollution in wastewater. Large amounts of organic matter are removed during treatment processes to meet environmental standards, and as a result, significant amounts of GHGs such as methane are released into the atmosphere.
