Pan, YiWen; et al. (2019): A sea trial of air-lift concept artificial upwelling in the East China Sea

Pan, YiWen; Li, Yifan; Fan, Wei; Zhang, DaHai; Qiang, Yongfa; Jiang, ZongPei; Chen, Ying (2019): A sea trial of air-lift concept artificial upwelling in the East China Sea. In: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology. DOI: 10.1175/JTECH-D-18-0238.1.

„In this work, a sea-trial of an air-lift concept AU system driven by self-powered energy was carried out in the East China Sea (ECS) (30°8′14″N, 122°44′59″E) to assess the logistics of at-sea deployment and the durability of the equipment under extremely complex hydrodynamic condition from Sep 3rd[nbsp]to 7th, 2014.“

Medium: Extreme Weather Has Created a Climate Emergency

Climate action is not working.[nbsp]At the UN’s “Try Harder” session, much was said about emissions reduction, our fifty-year-old “Use Less” strategy for dealing with climate change. Annual global emissions have been rising, not falling; the yearly bump-up in carbon dioxide (CO2) is now 50% greater than when the 21st century began. This is not progress.“

Withey, P.; et al. (2019): Quantifying the global warming potential of carbon dioxide emissions from bioenergy with carbon capture and storage

Withey, Patrick; Johnston, Craig; Guo, Jinggang (2019): Quantifying the global warming potential of carbon dioxide emissions from bioenergy with carbon capture and storage. In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 115, S. 109408. DOI: 10.1016/j.rser.2019.109408.

„This study provides estimates of the global warming potential (GWP) of carbon dioxide emissions from bioenergy produced from forests (termed GWPbio). The specific contribution of the study is twofold. First, we consider how GWPbio[nbsp]will be impacted by the inclusion of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) technology. Second, we determine how the assumed baseline or reference scenario impacts GWPbio, considering both bioenergy harvests from currently unmanaged land and harvest residues from currently managed forest lands.[nbsp]“
