„Many of the country’s top solar geoengineering researchers have banded together to form a modeling consortium aimed at identifying gaps in our current understanding, prioritizing research that can fill those gaps, and pooling resources.“
„Presidential hopeful Andrew Yang has delivered a climate plan that fleshes out his dreams for a geoengineered world. According to his proposal, which was released on August 26th, it’ll take 20 years, $4.87 trillion, and maybe even space mirrors to prevent a climate catastrophe.“
„With support from the United Nations Office for Partnerships and in partnership with Earth Day Network and Future Coalition, the Foundation for Climate Restoration will host the first Global Climate Restoration Forum in partnership with Member States leading into the 74th Session of the UN General Assembly on September 17, 2019 at UN Headquarters in New York City.“
„A 2.5-year postdoctoral fellowship position (with a possibility for extension) is available for the research topic “terrestrial carbon cycle feedbacks under overshoot scenarios” at the biogeochemistry group of NORCE Climate and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research.“
„To empower the next generation of sustainable business leaders, enable them to attend VERGE 19 and ensure that the sustainability field includes voices from diverse backgrounds, we’re thrilled to again offer the Emerging Leaders Scholarship, sponsored by United Airlines.“
„The webinar will examine those drivers including policy, price signals and incentives and others. It will address the gaps in the innovation pipeline and what is needed to incentivize development and create new markets for carbon and how California leadership in staking state tax incentives with 45Q and other policy commitments can be a model for other states and federal action.“
Tan, Raymond R.; Aviso, Kathleen B.; Foo, Dominic C.Y.; Lee, Jui-Yuan; Ubando, Aristotle T. (2019): Optimal synthesis of negative emissions polygeneration systems with desalination. In: Energy, S. 115953. DOI: 10.1016/j.energy.2019.115953.
„In this paper, a novel scheme that integrates the ROD/IOC process with combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) generation is proposed as a new[nbsp]negative emissions polygeneration system[nbsp](NEPS). A mixed integer linear programming model is then developed for the optimal synthesis and operation of such a system. The model uses a multi-period formulation to account for hourly variations in product demand and electricity price.“
„IKEA is pursuing an even more ambitious strategy by pledging to go climate positive by 2030 without the use of offsets. „We are confident that natural carbon storage in our products and positive effects of responsible land use, as well as going beyond IKEA and enabling reductions outside of our own value chain will secure the remaining needed reductions,“ said Andreas Ahrens, head of climate at IKEA Range and Supply, the business within the IKEA group that develops and supplies IKEA products.“
„Oil companies’ investments in direct air capture raise questions about climate justice.“
„Researchers in the United States analyzed iron in air samples collected on a research cruise in the North Atlantic Ocean. They used stable isotopes—forms of the same chemical element with different atomic weights—to discern the signature of different sources of iron.“
