Could BiCRS (Bioenergy and Carbon Removal & Storage) be the dynamic duo we need to save the planet? Maybe not quite yet but with some more work, these two green technologies could help us remove carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere, something that few existing technologies can do.

Direct Air Capture (DAC) companies are co-opting the same carbon scrubbing technology we use on spaceships to remove carbon dioxide from the air here on Earth. It is a great tool to reduce the impact of emissions from hard to decarbonize sectors here on Earth. #directaircapture #dac #carbonemissions #greenhousegases #climatechage #globalwarming

The Arctic Circle is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world- but why? The answer lies in several self-reinforcing feedback loops that have been set into motion by climate change.

Economists have called the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) "the most important figure you've never heard of". It is a metric law makers use to estimate the damage caused by greenhouse gases and create policies to regulate emissions. Therefore, way the SCC is calculated has a profound effect on how our business operations impact the environment.

If the COVID-19 pandemic had one silver lining, it was the effect the lockdowns had on our environment. But was it worth it?

A brief history on the short-lived Green New Deal, a resolution that was submitted to the U.S. Senate in early February 2019 and rejected just a few weeks later. However, hopefully the ideas laid out in the Green New Deal will live on in the free market.
