CO2 News: Top Headlines You Shouldn’t Miss

Image
Carbon emissions remain a hot topic and the world is responding. In this roundup of key CO ₂ news, we spotlight what’s happening right now to curb emissions and push for a cleaner future. CO ₂ News Roundup: Shifts, Stats, and Solutions 1. America Just Crossed 1 Gigaton of CO ₂ Stored Underground In a landmark moment, the US has officially stored over 1 billion tons of CO ₂ underground. This milestone highlights how carbon capture and storage (CCS) is no longer experimental; it’s becoming a real part of the climate action toolkit. Carolyn Seto, S&P’s director of energy transition, noted, “This volume represents a material impact in reducing emissions from these hard-to‑abate-sources,” reinforcing the importance of CCS alongside renewables. 2. Microsoft Buys Record Amount of Carbon Removal Credits Tech giant Microsoft just signed one of the biggest carbon removal deals to date, purchasing credits that will offset 2.76 million tons of CO ₂ . It’s part of their bigger goal to beco...

Clean Energy Through Industrial Hydrogen Production

Image
No smoke. No flames. No noise. Just clean energy powering machines that once ran on fossil fuels. Sounds like the future? It’s already here—and hydrogen is making it possible. Industrial hydrogen production is changing how industries like steel, cement, and chemicals operate. In this article, we’ll explore how hydrogen is made on a large scale, the main methods used, and why this invisible fuel is becoming such a big deal. Industrial Hydrogen Production Methods Hydrogen may be the clean fuel of the future, but producing it isn’t always clean. The process matters a lot. Today, industries rely on a mix of old and new methods to generate hydrogen at scale. Each one comes with its own balance of cost, carbon, and potential. Let’s take a closer look at the three main methods powering industrial hydrogen production today. 1. Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) One of the present-day, best-known technologies is steam methane reforming, SMR for short. It works by the process when natural gas is pas...
