Only existing state laws and regulations as of January 2023 are included in the model. The five policies are: clean electricity standards, zero-emission vehicle standards, clean building equipment standards, industrial efficiency and emissions standards, and standards for methane detection, capture, and destruction.

In a previous article , I analyzed the carbon footprint of producing hydrogen from fossil fuels. To recap, the carbon footprint of hydrogen production from natural gas in a steam methane reformer (SMR) is higher than from directly burning the natural gas. That is how over 95% of the world’s hydrogen is currently produced.

Further, many of the largest businesses are state- or family-owned, beholden not just to the laws of the free market, but political dynamics to boot. BioLNG can be used as a drop-in fuel replacement and due to the higher methane concentration, BioLNG is often a better burning fuel. The biggest shipping companies (i.e.,

Some of these cases have been brought under consumer fraud or protection laws that penalise companies for misrepresenting their products to the public. ” “Burning of fossil fuels which have taken millions of years to form has effectively upset the balance leading to an increase in CO2 in the atmosphere,” Wilkinson wrote.

And as a trove of industry documents reveals, Exxon is far from the only fossil fuel company selling carbon capture as its golden ticket to continue pumping its products, despite internal concerns about the technology’s feasibility. For more than three decades, our LaBarge facility in Wyoming has been a center for #carboncapture.
