2025-06-28 Japan Built A Device Capable Of Photosynthesis 10 Times Better
Researchers in “Japan built a device capable of photosynthesis 10 times better than nature, turning air directly into fuel.” https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0227unQ5qyxcuw3McDprzewb96vncHfcDfuNxtfcyUE5VggbAnorZeXzSW21WciGsCl&id=100064405640816&post_id=100064405640816_pfbid0227unQ5qyxcuw3McDprzewb96vncHfcDfuNxtfcyUE5VggbAnorZeXzSW21WciGsCl&mibextid=6yaNxA
2025-04-13 Cement Production Will Still Contribute CO2
Quote: “”Cement production is not carbon intensive solely due to energy use, but because heating limestone (CaCO₃) creates lime (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Even completely carbon-free energy cement production would contribute about 5% of the total global CO₂ emitted annually, at current levels of cement production. Cement will not be decarbonized without addressing both

2024-11-22 Captura Uses Direct Ocean Capture To Extract CO2 From The Atmosphere
Article about Captura, which is much cheaper than direct air capture. It *does* look promising. https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkobayashisolomon/2024/02/15/capturas-direct-ocean-capture-looks-promising/
2024-04-27 Ocean Carbon Removal
A long article describing several methods and how far they have been researched. I like the enhanced rock weathering – it’s something that may be able to be done with very low use of fossil fuels. It’s not difficult to crush rock to dust. But there are pros and cons to each of the methods.

2024-03-14 California Colleges Have To Slash Emissions, Decarbonize
The UC and CSU systems track their emissions. California Community College System does not. Good article. California colleges have to slash emissions. Here’s why decarbonization is complex and costly.
2023-11-23 IEA: Large Amounts Of Carbon Capture As A Solution Is An Illusion
This article starts off with (quote) “”The oil and gas industry is banking on carbon capture as its “fix” for climate change. The IEA’s new report dispels that idea and offers real solutions.”” It’s much more than that. “The oil and gas industry is banking on carbon capture” as a magic wand that they can

2023-11-15 HYDROGEN – You Wouldn’t Be Alive Without It!
I constantly see the armchair BEV (battery electric vehicle) ‘experts’ badmouth hydrogen FCEVs. The hydrogen is 3X less efficient than BEVs, they claim. But the ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles) they’re now driving are less efficient than the hydrogen FCEVs! So why are these hypocrites complaining? Hydrogen has been *safely* generated, stored and transported in
