Why Not Synthetic Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (SDACCS) as Part of a 100% Wind-Water-Solar (WWS) and Storage Solution to Global Warming, Air Pollution, and Energy Security
Synthetic direct air carbon capture and storage (SDACCS) is the direct removal of CO2 from the air by its chemical reaction with other chemicals. Upon removal, the CO2 is sequestered either…

It is clear that reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone are insufficient to avoid large global temperature increases. It is also clear that to avoid atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases…
Scaling CO2 Capture With Downstream Flow CO2 Conversion to Ethanol
To prevent the global average temperature from increasing more than 1.5°C and lower the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, most emissions trajectories necessitate the…
Assessing Carbon Capture: Public Policy, Science, and Societal Need
From typhoons to wildfires, as the visible impacts of climate change mount, calls for mitigation through carbon drawdown are escalating. Environmentalists and many climatologists are urging steps to…

Assessment of methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas supply chain
TLDR
The magnitude of this leakage was reassessed and it was found that in 2015, supply chain emissions were ∼60% higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inventory estimate, likely because existing inventory methods miss emissions released during abnormal operating conditions.
