In the UK, sponge-like pellets may hold the key to preventing CO2 from entering the atmosphere, supporting future net zero ambitions, a new report from the University of Nottingham explains. Capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from industrial processes is a necessary step to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and minimise the severe impacts of climate change. The […]
In Washington, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports some environmentalists are worried about the bill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar and U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall introduced in April that would protect the tax credit for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), created by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, and extend for another 10 years while prohibiting imported feedstocks from benefiting. […]
