DAC technology is extremely expensive, energy-intensive, and creates waste. Significant quantities of freshwater are also required for carbon storage. "Unsurprisingly, storing CO2 beneath the seafloor would also induce seismic activity, which may release some of the commonly occurring sub-sea pockets of methane; a potent greenhouse gas." #ClimateChange #CarbonCapture #Oceans #Environment

Protecting our oceans is safeguarding our future. Covering 70% of Earth's surface, our oceans absorb 25% of CO2 emissions and capture 90% of excess heat. Yet, they face severe threats from pollution and climate change. As our Vice-president Ambroise Fayolle said, “By 2050, our land and water could be polluted with 12.5 billion metric tonnes of plastic waste.” This #WorldOceanDay, we are proud to support sustainable projects, from marine renewable energy to innovative waste management. 🟢 €10 billion in offshore wind projects 🟢 Floating wind turbines and wave energy tech 🟢 Support for sustainable seafood and green shipping Learn more in our report 👉 https://bit.ly/3VdnvHv #Ocean #BlueEconomy #BeatPlasticPollution

Unmasking “Blue Carbon Credits: An Innovative Approach to tackling Climate Change!” #BlueCarbonCredits are an innovative approach to tackling #climatechange by leveraging the natural power of #coastalecosystems. These ecosystems, like #mangroves, #seagrasses, and #saltmarshes, act as #carboncapture champions, storing vast amounts of #carbondioxide in their biomass and surrounding sediments. Blue carbon credit projects focus on protecting or restoring these vital #habitats. The amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere or prevented from being released is meticulously measured and verified. Each tonne of #CO2 translates to one tradable blue #carboncredit. Companies and individuals can then purchase these credits to offset their own #carbonfootprint. This not only helps mitigate climate change but also injects valuable funds into conservation efforts. The benefits extend beyond #carbonsequestration, promoting healthier #oceans with increased #biodiversity and even supporting coastal #communities through #jobcreation and #sustainablepractices. While the blue carbon credit market is still evolving and #verification methods are being refined, it holds immense promise for creating a win-win situation for our planet and its inhabitants. #ClimateFastFacts

Energy conservation is a critical component in achieving a sustainable future. By reducing our energy consumption, we can minimize our carbon footprint and mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. Conserving energy also leads to cost savings for individuals, businesses, and governments, which can be redirected towards other important areas. #biotechwhisperer #energyconservation #conservation #energy #sustainability #climatedchange #greenhousegas #renewableenergy #fossilfuel #sustainabilityupdate #rhetort

"Water makes life possible" – this is our contribution to Earth Day! 🌏 Every year, Earth Day is a reminder of the global need to protect the climate and the environment. It serves as a call to implement climate goals with determination. The motto of this year's Earth Day is "Water makes life possible". It calls for the careful use of water as a vital resource. The conscious and sparing use of water also plays an important role in our sustainability strategy at BELECTRIC. 💧 We are working on photovoltaic solutions that minimise evaporation and drying out. 💧 Our floating PV systems, for example, protect standing waters from excessive evaporation and thus prevent water bodies from dying. 💧 Our Agri-PV approach also prevents soils from drying out and reduces water consumption. #earthday #wasserressourcen #floatingpv #belectric #solarenergie #solarenergy #greenenergy #energiewende #energytransition

The top 50 polluting facilities in America, including 45 coal or methane gas power plants, emit more greenhouse gases than some states. However, focusing on a small number of these facilities can significantly reduce pollution. #Climate #Climatechange #Nature #Environment #Globalwarming #Climatecrisis #Sustainability #Explore
NEW DATA: Large share of U.S. climate pollution comes from handful of coal and gas plants

This Saturday, September 7th, is #NationalCleanAirDay. Throughout the week, we’ll be showcasing how Raven SR’s non-combustion technology is making strides in reducing emissions and improving air quality. First up: converting waste into renewable fuels. By diverting waste from landfills, we’re eliminating waste, and reducing emissions and short-lived climate pollutants which contribute to climate change. Today’s waste • Tomorrow’s fuel. #steamco2reforming #renewablefuels #hydrogen #SAF #circulareconomy

One of the main challenges facing the industry today is to stop Climate Change. ✋🏻⛔️🌪️⛈️ To do this, companies must reduce their Carbon Footprint, which is the totality of Greenhouse Gas emissions measured by their CO2 equivalence. At Naeco, we have our Naeco Reduce program focused on analyzing and measuring the potential CO2 reductions that our customers can achieve by using our products. How do we do it? 🤔 From Naeco Research 🔎 and with the help of a prestigious Technological Institute, we have developed a study and a calculator that allows us to know the amount of CO2 equivalent emissions that any company can save by using our products. If you want to get more information, we invite you to visit our website. 👇 https://lnkd.in/dvu_Vv3y #Sustainability #ClimateChange #CO2 #Emissions #Reduce #Research #NaecoLovesYou

"This mammoth, like its namesake, is doomed to become extinct", so OceanCare’s Senior Marine and Climate Scientist, James Kerry. "Direct capture technology obscures the real issue, which is the immediate #phaseout of #fossilFuels, as well as tying up resources that are urgently needed elsewhere to tackle the #climateCrisis." Proponents of direct air capture technology claim that it will significantly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. "#Mammoth", the largest plant to date from the Swiss company Climeworks went into operation in Iceland on 8 May 2024. For OceanCare, #DAC technology is not only an inefficient climate distraction, but poses a direct threat to the marine environment: https://lnkd.in/dxB29gyH #DAC #directCapture #carbonCapture
Climeworks’ “Mammoth” vacuum cleaner is not a solution to the climate crisis
