This week, the EAH team sat down with Aran Bates, Founder and CEO of Hydrologiq, to dive into the strategic deployment of hydrogen in the off-grid sector.We explore how Hydrologiq is moving beyond just the hardware, discussing the critical role of software and systems thinking in scaling up clean fuel adoption. Aran provides fascinating insights into distributed decarbonisation and the future of resilient microgrids.The conversation focuses on the synergy between Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and hydrogen, detailing the "hub-and-spoke" model that is revolutionizing how we power remote sites, temporary setups, and events—including a fun look at the hydrogen deployment at Boomtown Fair. Aran explains how their platform, Logiq, is the essential tool for managing multi-technology fleets and simplifying the hydrogen supply chain.It was a truly valuable chat, underscoring that the transition to hydrogen is as much about Logiq's operational efficiency as it is about the fuel itself.About Hydrologiq:Hydrologia makes hydrogen the turnkey, scalable and immediate diesel replacement for off-road machinery - decarbonising a US$327 billion global diesel machinery market that produces 1.3 gigatons of CO2e every year.They do this through Logiq - the platform that handles everything from supply chain integration to on-the-ground operations, making hydrogen an easy to adopt and scale decarbonisation choice.Born out of a passion to reduce the greenhouse gas impact society is having on the planet, they are enabling the hydrogen value chain to change how we store, move and use energy off-grid.About Aran Bates:Aran's experience sits at the intersection of technical development, business, and strategy gained over eight years of technology and innovation consulting, as well as start-up experience. Prior to Hydrologiq he spent two and a half years evaluating and studying the applicability of hydrogen on energy systems, now through the work being done at Hydrologiq, they are testing and proving that hydrogen is an answer.Previously, Aran founded his own digital start-up, bootstrapping it into an operating business within a year; launched new ventures inside of existing multinational businesses (e.g. designed and lead all aspects of the physical product and manufacturing for Holland and Barret's Healthbox offering, taking it from pure paper idea to live product in market MVP in three months); and advised many of the world's largest corporates on innovation, including acting as the direct advisor and coach to the global Head of Innovation at Rolls Royce Aerospace.--
Today, we dive into one of the most exciting areas of the energy transition: the expansion and optimisation of our power grids and the role that startups play in this. There's no question that the big players in the energy industry are important. But more and more often, it's the young, courageous companies that are driving change in the system with fresh ideas, new technologies, and unusual business models. However they need tackle quite a few hurdles on their way. How do start-ups manage to assert themselves in a highly regulated and technically demanding industry? How do they work with grid operators, municipal utilities, or energy suppliers, and where do they encounter resistance? We talk about this with Johan Söderbom, Thematic Leader for Smart Grids and Energy Storage at EIT InnoEnergy. About Johan Söderbom Between 1995 and 2014, Johan worked at the northern European Utility Vattenfall AB in various positions in R&D. From 2014 to 2019, Johan was heading a section at RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) responsible for electrical and optical measurement technology, and he now holds the position of thematic leader for Smart Grids and Energy Storage at EIT InnoEnergy.

On July 23rd the United Nations' International Court of Justice (ICJ) announced its highly-anticipated climate advisory opinion. The opinion represents a watershed moment because the court ruled states or countries are accountable for contributing to anthropogenic warming or for their GHG emissions. Consequently, the ICJ concluded countries are legally obligated to ensure the climate is protected from GHG emission, if not, countries - and private actors such as healthcare - can be held culpable for failing to do so. Though an advisory opinion the ICJ ruling has significant implications for US healthcare largely because US healthcare annually accounts for a massive amount of GHG emissions at over 600 MMT of CO2e and the federal government has neither enacted legislation nor promulgated regulations that require healthcare mitigate its GHG emissions. Not surprisingly, healthcare has ignored the 2023 UN resolution that requested the ICJ opinion and now the opinion.

A novel feed ingredient can be included in commercial feedlot diets to reduce methane emissions by up to 80%.
Despite the fact US healthcare has $7.6 trillion market cap and is beyond capital intensive, industry executives have been loathe to divest in fossil fuels. For example, per “The Lancet's” 2023 and 2024 annual “Countdown on Health and Climate” reports, between 2008 and 2023 of the 1,613 institutions committed to divesting in fossil fuels, only 28 were healthcare institutions and since 2018 only one has committed to doing so. Among numerous other reasons why this is, to be polite, disturbing, if not evil, is because: fossil fuel investments substantially explain healthcare's massive carbon footprint at over 600 MMT of CO2e annually; anthropocentric warming poses the greatest threat to human health; failure to divest make a mockery of the Hippocratic Oath; and, among other ironies of the 12 S&P 500 economic sectors the energy sector was the worst performer by far since 2010.

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we break down a high-stakes development in U.S. hydrogen policy:
To begin my 14th year podcasting . . . , per the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Unversity, as of last September there were 1,850 climate crisis-related cases filed in the US challenging climate policy under constitutional, federal statutory including securities and financial regulations, state law claims and under several other categories. Law suits have been and will continued to be filed for the simple reason Congressional lawmaking and state legislating have failed to legitimately address the climate crisis, i.e., reduce CO2e emissions. Ms. Rodgers, Deputy Director, US Strategy at Our Children's Trust, a public interest law firm dedicated to securing children's legal rights to a healthy climate, discusses the current state of Juliana v the US initially filed in 2015, the 2023 Held v Montana decision in favor of 16 young people and a favorable 2024 settlement agreement resulting form Navahine F in which Hawaii's DOT agreed to move aggressively to achieve a net zero ground transporation system. Ms. Rodgers also discusses OCT's ongoing Genesis v the EPA case and the current International Court of Justice effort to reach an advisory opinion regarding climate-related legal obligations. Listeners may recall I interviewed Ms. Rodgers regarding Juliana in February 2020 and most recently, or last June, I spoke again with Michael Burger, CEO of Columbia's Sabin Center, regarding climate litigation generally.

Swappie, an online iPhone refurbishment company focused on sustainability, is sharing its ways of making this Christmas season more green. Swappie puts their iPhones through a 52-step process to ensure that they are working properly and make any necessary repairs. According to Swappie, "the carbon footprint of a Swappie refurbished smartphone is 78% less than that of a new smartphone." In 2021, the company comparatively reduced emissions by 23,550 tons of CO2E, which is equivalent to what almost 400,000 trees consume over 10 years. It was founded in Finland, in 2016, after the founders were the unfortunate victims of an online scan to repurpose and purchase phones. The ambition of a circular economy for technology is at the root of everything Swappie does and is what drives them on their mission of making refurbished devices, more common and popular. At Swappie, they believe tech doesn't have an expiry date, and to extend the life of an iPhone, Swappie purchases the device you've outgrown and either repairs it in-house or recycles all the reusable parts to be used again and again. The process of buying and selling refurbished iPhones has attracted over 1 million customers. Tips for a Greener Christmas from Swappie 1. Experiences, more than things Instead of buying physical gifts that may end up unused, get gift experiences such as concert tickets, cooking classes, or even a subscription to an online service. These gifts are memorable, personalized, and don't produce waste. 2. Shop local Supporting local artisans with sustainable practices reduces the carbon footprint associated with shipping and packaging. It also helps build community resilience. 3. Buy gifts with a purpose Choose gifts from brands that prioritize social and environmental impact, such as fair-trade goods, organic products, or items from companies with a clear give-back mission. 4. DIY Handmade gifts, such as home-baked treats, upcycled crafts, or personalized photo albums, carry sentimental value without harming the environment. Encouraging creativity and personalization can reduce the waste that comes with mass-produced items. 5. Wrapping Avoid single-use wrapping paper and instead, opt for reusable alternatives like fabric gift wrap (like furoshiki, the Japanese wrapping technique), recycled paper, or repurposed materials like old maps or newspaper. Tying gifts with reusable ribbons or natural materials like twine can also add charm without waste. 6. Charity For the person who has everything, make a donation in their name to a cause they care about, such as an environmental charity or a community project. It's a thoughtful way to reduce material waste and contribute to a meaningful cause. 7. Go digital! Gifting digital content, such as e-books, audiobooks, or streaming subscriptions, minimizes material waste while offering entertainment or learning opportunities. 8. Long lasting is the way! Encourage choosing products that are built to last, reducing the likelihood of them being replaced or discarded quickly. For tech, refurbished iPhones from Swappie are a great example of high-quality, durable gifts, thanks to a 12-month warranty and extensive 52-stage refurbishment process "Because we can all agree, that great tech shouldn't cost us the earth."

Sara Pitzen und Dr. Eckhard Wagner beschäftigen sich in dieser Episode mit der Frage der Verantwortung von IT & Sustainability. Und ob man sich der Verantwortung in der IT entziehen könnte, indem man beispielsweise Workloads und damit die Verantwortung einfach zu einem Cloud-Provider abschiebt. Ist das so einfach?
This week's episode starts with Dr Nicky Dee telling us about how she went from an accidental PhD to entrepreneurship, and from #cleantech to #climatetech, culminating in a 20-year (to date) career in impact-driven innovation.Nicky's early experiences highlighted that there were lots of startups with ideas, most with great intent, but that they were hard to scale and that the measure of a company should not be dictated by what they earn, but by what they do. As CEO of Carbon13 Nicky now creates action on climate through innovation and entrepreneurship by bringing together talented individuals to build and scale impactful ventures capable of mitigating 10 million tonnes (net) of CO2E per year.With a portfolio of 70 companies, representing 30 nationalities, there is no shortage of great Climate Tech to showcase, and Nicky talks to us about the venture builder and launchpad programmes, setting up in Berlin and funding. We also talk about whether Cambridge is doing enough to drive Climate Tech, look at other centres of excellence including Berlin, South East Asia, and the US, and start to discuss what we need to do to keep Cambridge / UK companies migrating to the US.Produced by Cambridge TV Hosted on Acast.

Many governments are wary of providing transparency around their militaries' emissions, and campaigners can be hesitant to focus on the carbon footprint of conflicts, rather than more obviously humanitarian issues. But Ukraine has helped to shift opinion this year, after pushing for more accountability for wartime environmental harm. Recent estimates put the CO2e cost of Russia's invasion of Ukraine at 175 million tonnes, and day to day military operations - not including conflicts - at a staggering 5.5% of global emissions.Bertie spoke to Lindsey Cottrell, Environmental Policy Officer at the Conflict and Environment Observatory, about the military emissions gap in carbon accounting, and the campaign for UNFCCC rules to be changed to acknowledge it.

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Jacquelyn Francis, Founder and Executive Director of the Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP). GWMP contributes to decarbonizing the planet by identifying innovative climate leaders and deploying resources to advance solutions. It comprises three interconnected programs that work together to address the funding, capacity building, and visibility challenges that global changemakers face as they scale their science-based solutions to decarbonize the planet: The Keeling Curve Prize, The Constellations Fellowship, and The Climate Impact Conduit.GWMP's signature program is the Keeling Curve Prize, which awards $50,000 annually to each of 10 global projects that demonstrate the ability to reduce, replace, or remove greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Since 2018, GWMP has awarded $1.75M to 60 nonprofits, for-profits, and startups, vetted more than 1,100 viable solutions, and grown one of the largest networks of global warming mitigators in the world. The projects that GWMP has awarded are currently projected to reduce 3.27 gigatons of CO2e emissions this year alone.Ted and Jacquelyn discuss her background, growing up in Aspen, Colorado. While attending John Hopkins University for a Master's program in Energy Policy and Climate, she decided that the solution to decarbonizing the planet was to find, fund, and elevate climate leaders and entrepreneurs around the world. This realization led Jacquelyn to create the Keeling Curve Prize and the Global Warming Mitigation Project (GWMP) in the fall of 2017, and a commitment to investing her skills, expertise, and resources to help transition all of humanity to a future beyond fossil fuels. She uses scientific rigor, mathematics and pragmatism as tenants for climate forward-thinking leadership.She shares some of her favorite impact stories with Ted, highlighting creativity from the younger generation finding new ways to make solutions that are smart and effective. She also discusses upcoming events, running programs, and a new tool within their database - carbon abatement portfolios - an idea that comes from the voluntary carbon markets. She concludes by emphasizing that solutions to the energy transition and emission abatement already exist, and are just waiting to be scaled up.
Honeywell International is one of the largest companies in the world, ranking 115th in the Fortune 500 and operating in 70 countries around the world. With lines of business in aerospace, building technology, workplace safety, and digital technology, Honeywell is applying its expertise to reduce its environmental impact. Since 2018, Honeywell has reduced CO2 emissions by 18%, progressing toward its Scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality goal for 2035. Our guest, Dr. Gavin Towler, the Chief Sustainability Officer at Honeywell, led those efforts. He brings more than 30 years of experience in the chemicals and fuels industry to the conversation today and has helped Honeywell reduce the emissions associated with its refrigerants and electric vehicle solutions while engaging the wider industry to encourage environmental progress. An essential aspect of Honeywell's progress is its focus on reducing operational carbon intensity, the amount of CO2 it generates to earn revenue, which fell from 60.5 MT of CO2e per $1 million of revenue in 2018 to 49.5 MT in 2022. Some of the projects Honeywell is pursuing include emissions management systems for oil and gas facilities that monitor and measure emissions and recover flare gas that traditionally was burned as waste. The company also launched battery energy storage systems to backup electric grids and is a leading producer of blue hydrogen, made from natural gas, at a facility that scrubs 98% of the CO2 produced by the process.

I ugens Radio Information taler vi om landbrugets rolle i samfundet efter Svarer-udvalgets resultater. Og så har Rune Lykkeberg været i USA, hvor han har hængt ud med Trump og Haley Lad os starte med et par tal: Landbruget bidrager med bare to procent af Danmarks samlede velstand mod industriens 22 procent; med kun tre procent af beskæftigelsen over for industriens 18 procent; og syv procent af Danmarks eksport over for industriens 25 procent. Alligevel vil landbruget, så fremt der ikke sker noget drastisk, stå for hele 46 procent af de samlede danske CO2e-udledninger i 2030, hvis ikke man gør noget. Og hvad der præcis skal gøres, fik det såkaldte Svarer-udvalg til opdrag at komme med bud på. Onsdag fremlagde de tre modeller til, hvordan man kan skrue en CO2-afgift på landbruget sammen. Marie Sæhl og Sebastian Gjerding gennemgår modellerne, balancerne og dilemmaerne. Rune Lykkeberg er lige kommet hjem fra USA, hvor han blandt andet har været til rallys med Donald Trump og hans eneste overlevede modstander i kampen om at blive den republikanske præsidentkandidat, Nikki Haley. Hør hvordan Lykkeberg synes, at temperaturen var, og det - vil jeg sige, og det er ikke for at fedte – imponerende resultatet af hans intensive træning i at tale som Donald Trump.
In his soon-to-be-published book, Dr. Chaudhary argues the climate crisis or the Anthropocene era is the political product of rightwing climate realism - what he terms the “Rex Tillerson Position.” Listeners should be aware politics, not technology or economics, explains why the US continues to emit an enormous amount of CO2e pollution. (The US healthcare industry contributes approximately 550 MT CO2e annually or roughly 9% of the nation's total.) The politics of functional climate denialism, or the belief business-as-usual can mitigate global warming, has resulted in economic, ecological and social despair, disenchantment or in sum socioecological exhaustion. What capitalism has built, Dr. Chaudhary argues, is an exhausted world. Any workable solution or any effort to create a sustainable environmental niche requires a new climate realism. Real ecomodernism he argues must be in sum grounded in decolonization - that essentially means the Global North no longer exploits the Global South. Ajay Singh Chaudhary is the Executive Director of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research and a core faculty member specializing in social and political theory. He holds a PhD from Columbia University and an MSc from the London School of Economics. His research focuses on social and political theory and economy, political ecology, media, religion, and post-colonial studies. He has written for The Guardian, The Nation, The Baffler, n+1, Los Angeles Review of Books, Quartz, Social Text, Dialectical Anthropology, The Hedgehog Review, Filmmaker Magazine, and 3quarksdaily, among others.

Introducing Bryan Garcia and Sara Harari The CT Green Bank was the first of its kind in the US, and has generated over $2.4bn in green investment and abated millions of tonnes of CO2e by de-risking private finance, bringing stakeholders together, and pioneering approaches to local clean investment. Its President and Founder is Bryan Garcia, and Sara Harari is Associate Director of Innovation and Strategy Advisor to the President. The fascinating conversation with Chris Caldwell takes place at Yale and covers a wide range of questions and delivers us an amazing insight into the philosophy of Green Banks and this Green Bank in particular: … having a vision of a planet protected by the love of humanity, is that you can't have environmentalism without humanitarianism. … you can't save the trees by avoiding people. It is fundamentally about caring about each other. If we do that, then we are going to solve the climate crisis. But we have to be able to put our arms around each other first and then mobilize capital investment … to deliver the results that we're after. But I think that's, you know, the vision of the Connecticut Green Bank… The highlights of this episode include: Section one: The CT Green Bank mission Section two: How Green Banks train private markets Section three: From renewables to environmental infrastructure Section four: Innovation and climate justice at the local level Section five: Selling cleantech in red states: spreading the Green Bank model Section six: IRA: layered incentives and smart design Section seven: Financing climate resilience Section eight: Elections, wishlists, and sourcing meaning REFERENCES: https://www.ctgreenbank.com https://cbey.yale.edu/our-community/bryan-garcia https://cbey.yale.edu/our-community/sara-harari Conversations on Climate is a podcast produced by United Renewables and this episode is in association with Yale Center for Business and the Environment.

0.9g of CO2e. It's pretty ridiculous when you think about it. According, the French SRI association this is the carbon footprint for a 10K prints digital campaign with a 200k image. So not a big deal? Not that simple because we're talking about volumes in trillions per day here. So maybe it's a good idea to dive a little deeper on the environmental impact of digital marketing after all. Hence we brought 2 experts in AdTech with a soft spot for Sustainability: Diarmuid Gill is Criteo's CTO since 2019 and has been in Digital Advertising for more than 15 years. Audrey Danthony has also a long career in AdTech, she started her first company, Oxeva, during the dot-com boom when she was still a student at engineering school.

Australia's ambitious climate goals: On the Vverge of COP28 As we gear up for COP28, Australia has made notable climate strides that can't go unnoticed. Under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the country has set ambitious goals to reduce emissions by 43% by 2030, a significant leap from the previous 28% target. At COP28, Energy Minister Chris Bowen will present a report indicating that Australia is on track for a 37% reduction with existing programs while aiming for 42%. Here are just a few bold steps Australia has taken on climate action: Safeguard mechanism in heavy industry: A groundbreaking policy compels industrial facilities emitting over 100,000 metric tons of CO2e annually to cut emissions. This policy includes mining and oil and gas production facilities, marking a significant step towards reducing emissions.Electric vehicle (EV) strategy: Despite the absence of a new fuel efficiency standard, Australia's EV strategy is promising, focusing on infrastructure and charging access. The federal push is encouraging more EV brands to enter the market, signifying a shift in the supply-demand balance.Rapid adoption of rooftop solar: Australia is the fastest-growing rooftop solar market globally, reflecting the community's strong desire for an energy transition. Policies at federal, state, and council levels support renewable home energy, though affordability remains a challenge. Community's role in climate action The climate policy in Australia is not just top-down; community involvement is pivotal. This week, climate activists organized a protest in Newcastle, arresting 109 people for blocking coal shipping and emphasizing the public's demand for swifter climate action. The protest, including diverse participants like retired coal miners and high school students, underscores a collective push for a just and swift transition away from fossil fuels. Australia's climate action, backed by government policies and community activism, is a beacon of hope. As we witness these developments, it's clear that a sustainable future is not just a vision but can be an achievable reality.

This past March 20th the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published its fourth and last sixth assessment cycle (AR6) report. This last report integrates the main findings of the IPCC's three, sixth assessment working group reports published over the past 18 months. The report has been informally termed the “last warning” since the IPCC 7th assessment work will likely not be published until after 2030 - at which time we'll know whether we have succeeded or not in reducing CO2e emissions by approximately 45% in order to limit avg global warming to the preferred Paris climate accord goal of 1.5C. Among other conclusions the IPCC authors warned, “There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all.” “The choices and actions implemented in this decade will have impacts now and for thousands of years.” The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, termed this last report “a clarion call to massively fast-track climate efforts by every country, every sector and on every timeframe.” An excellent summary of the AR6 fourth report was published in late March by Carbon Brief, at: https://www.carbonbrief.org/carbon-briefs-definitive-guide-to-the-entire-ipcc-sixth-assessment-cycle/.This 35-minute interview Ms. Willis discusses Malaria No More's work, related/relevant IPCC findings and those in context of her attendance last month at a climate/health summit meeting in Abu Dhabi held in preparation for subsequent related discussions during this coming December's IPCC COP 28 meeting also taking place in the UAE.

“The big picture doesn't just come from distance; it also comes from time.” -Simon Sinek Climate change is becoming an increasing concern. The private sector, individuals as well as state, local and federal governments are seeking to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As the energy used in all buildings, including homes, is cited as a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, how do these entities get an accurate metric on emissions?Is there a way to use this info to address when energy is used in a home?As well as how much home energy consumption can be reduced? Philip Fairey, Deputy Director at Florida Solar Energy Center, and David Goldstein, Energy Efficiency Advisor at the National Resources Defense Council, join us to provide an update on the RESNET Carbon Index. The RESNET Carbon Index is the first-of-its-kind carbon rating index which addresses the critical issue of greenhouse gas emissions stemming from energy use in a home. The index can help with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting and as a basis for green bonds. The existing RESNET HERS Index already looks at patterns of energy use by the hour of the year. It is a straightforward task to translate the energy profile into an emissions profile using the hourly CO2e emission rates and electricity generation emission projections as published by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). All joking aside, it's about time. David and Philip explain how it is now a straightforward process to calculate the comparative emissions of two houses. For example, the emissions from a new house with, or without, efficiency and solar can be examined to see how much electrification and clean energy can help. Or one can compare a house as-is with how it would look with a deep decarbonization retrofit.

All trees have a life cycle, so Street Tree Revival are making every effort to save the trees we can from ending up in landfills. When city trees need to be removed, we preserve their natural beauty and also limit carbon emissions by salvaging trees lost during storms, disease, or normal senescence and recycling this wood into useable raw lumber. Our urban wood offers a story unlike any other as they have been salvaged from our city streets… a true Street Tree Revival. Why urban wood? We have these beautiful heritage trees that provide a ton of resources and can give a new life if we allow ourselves to build something new out of them. We also once had this hundreds of years old tree that we got to witness scientists cut through and examine it, estimating it as one of the oldest in the known universe. They found bullets inside it, which was crazy. Abraham Lincoln could have stood under it. If you put it in a chipper and let it mulch up, that's not honoring its whole story. Another reason to use urban wood is because California is blessed with a diverse array of species of trees. San Diego has over 900 species of trees for example. The West Coast is typically a soft wood market, but there are so many exotic trees like eucalyptus globulus from Australia, Tasmanian blackwood from Tasmania, carob from Southeast Asia, eucalyptus camaldulensis, and the ficus from India. Who knew North Indian rosewood would be growing on the streets of California, Arizona, and Nevada? It is kind of invasive but look at the beautiful wood that has been going in the trash all these years. Did you know? From one log alone, you can get 3,500 board feet, which could be enough to floor an entire house. There are so many resources that aren't being tapped into or not being tapped into well enough. People need to realize that what they have in their front yard is valuable beyond when it's still standing. 124 million tons of CO2e could be sequestered nationally from urban hardwood over the next 30 years. “Could be” is key. We currently don't have the best management practices to harvest that wood and turn it into useable lumber; it's more beneficial for cities and contractors not to use the wood. Urban trees in the U.S. hold about 774 million tons of carbon. Look how much is stored in our urban forest right now. The more trees we plant, the bigger the waste stream will eventually be. This means we need to think about what happens to trees in their next stage of life. 50% of above-ground is suitable for solid hardwood products. We're currently making benches from logs that can only be 20 inches wide, so we're not just talking about the big ones. Small ones work, too. Better Value! Also, urban lumber is valued greater than forest grade because of history, unusual figure, and personal meaning. Just like how Abraham Lincoln stood under this oak tree. When we chop a tree like that down, you can turn it into something else like a table or a mantelpiece to keep the tree alive for even longer. A board foot is a 12-inch by 12-inch by 1-inch piece of lumber. For each board foot of wood, there is 4.7 pounds of carbon. We have at least 8,000 board feet in our showroom, which equates to over 37,000 pounds of CO2 stored! Each kiln load is 3,000-4,000 board feet, which is 14,000-18,000 pounds of stored carbon. By turning this wood into lumber, it keeps the carbon from going back into the atmosphere. STR is located all over the state, collecting trees from Northern California and milling them up there and drying them down here in Southern California or vice versa. We also do work in Arizona and Nevada, just like WCA. It takes a team to get this profound amount of wood (300 tons of green waste a day) through our systems. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matt-brown57/support

Thirteen years ago, Christopher McDougall's best-selling book, Born to Run, introduced the world to the Tarahumara tribe and created an intense interest in minimalist running. In it, Chris described his own journey from chronically injured runner to running 50 miles through Mexico's Copper Canyon. He was guided by coach Eric Orton, without whom, he says, there would have been “no Born to Run. I would not have run; I would not be running today.” Chris and Eric have teamed up again to write Born to Run 2: The Ultimate Training Guide, with the goal of bringing more joy into running.

Air conditioning (AC) emissions cause 13% of climate change globally. Indonesia, given its combination of strong economic growth and hot climate, is a massive emitter of freon and other global warming gases. Louis Potok, Founder of Recoolit, has built a technology-driven platform to enable the sale of high-quality carbon credits from refrigerant destruction. The solution engages with AC techs on the front lines and pays them to recover gas before they would otherwise scrap old units and vent the gas straight into the air. Recoolit has developed software to coordinate logistics to destroy the gas to international standards. The platform then sells voluntary carbon credits to global buyers. "We'd like to be about 10 x what we did in 2022" in 2023, on a longer term journey to prevent 1 billion tons CO2e by 2030.

Passion provides purpose, but data drives decisions Andy Dunn What does CO2e mean? What are the impacts of time and location on energy use and production? How and why are we morphing from energy as a proxy for emissions? We are joined on today's podcast by David Goldstein, Energy Co-Director at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and John Taylor, Deputy Director of The Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) to discuss a new tool that RESNET has underdevelopment: The CO2e Index The RESNET CO2e Rating Index is among the first in the world to more accurately estimate emissions by accounting for the hour of the day and month of the year at which electricity is consumed. And it uses the incremental effect that the building has on usable renewable energy and fossil fuel emissions, calculated over the long term. David describes how a carbon dioxide equivalent or CO2 equivalent, abbreviated as CO2e, is used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based on their global-warming potential (GWP) by converting amounts of other gases to the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide with the same global warming potential. Since the RESNET HERS Index already looks at energy pattern usage by the hour of the year, it is a straightforward task to translate the energy profile into an emissions profile if you have the data that underlie these figures. John helps us understand these aspects of the model. The new RESNET CO2e Rating Index allows one to calculate the comparative emissions of two houses. For example, you can look at the emissions from a new house with or without efficiency and solar to see how much changes like electrification and clean energy can help. As a result of this, there are no changes to the RESNET HERS rating process - it is more a function of software changes.

Michael Wardian set out from San Francisco with the intention of running across the United States in 75 days. He covered the 3,234 miles, spanning 13 states and with 132,000 feet in elevation change, in only 62 days. In the process, he raised over $120,000 for World Vision's clean water initiatives, changing the lives of thousands of people. In November, he'll be running the New York City Marathon as a guide, because, he says, “For me, one of the best things is crossing the finish line, but doing that helping somebody else is even better.” For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode322.

Our planet needs greenhouse gases (GHGs) that help trap the heat and keep our planet warm and without which, the earth would be a very cold place. There are four major components of greenhouse gases (GHGs) - Carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide and fluorinated gasses. But why are GHGs a problem? As the GHGs increases it heats up the planet - even 1.5 degrees C increase is enough to cause significant climate change. What if we take the problem (GHGs) and use it in our solution? That is what exactly AIRCARBON does. We talk with Mark Herrema, the CEO and co-founder of Newlight Technologies, who invented a process that by feeding greenhouse gasses to microorganisms found in the ocean, is able to extract the AirCarbon and use it to replace plastic, leather, acetate and other fibers.When made with renewable power, the production of AIRCARBON is a carbon-negative process, capturing or destroying more CO2e than was emitted to make it. Unlike synthetic materials, the AIRCARBON molecule is a molecule made throughout nature, and can be re-consumed by natural microorganisms like leaves or twigs, enabling life to restore itself.Learn more about this fascinating process on this episode of Mindful Businesses.https://www.newlight.com/aircarbonhttps://mindfulbusinessespodcast.com/#biomaterial #GHGs #sustainablematerial #compostable
Warrick Wood's son, Frankie, passed away from brain cancer when he was just three years old. Nothing can take away the pain of that loss, but running and what he's learned as a sports psychologist have helped Warrick to deal with his grief. He shares his experience in the hope that it will help not only those who have lost a loved one, but also the friends and family who want to support them, but may not know how to do so. He and his wife have also established a charity, Frankie to the Rescue, to support families who have a child with a terminal illness.

In this episode we discuss the good, the bad and the slightly confusing idea of carbon offsetting. Priya Bhullar, one of the co-founders of nature-based carbon removal company Planboo explains the difference between carbon offsetting and carbon removal, and we score the concept on how sustainable we actually think it is.Article: The biggest problem with carbon offsetting is that it doesn't really workhttps://www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/the-biggest-problem-with-carbon-offsetting-is-that-it-doesnt-really-work/Other notable articles:https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2020/2/27/20994118/carbon-offset-climate-change-net-zero-neutral-emissionsA carbon offset is a reduction or removal of emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases made in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere.[1][2][3] Offsets are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e).

Julie Wolfington, Energy and Sustainability Leader at Boland, made her third appearance on 10 Minutes to a Better Building to talk about sustainability's essential issues in building management. For years building practices used more of the earth's resources than returned to the environment. That practice is not sustainable, and companies recognize things need to change. So how does a business know if it's sustainable, and how do they measure it? “The concept of sustainability refers to three main pillars,” Wolfington said. “The environment, which is the pillar we mostly think about, but also there's the social pillar, and the economic pillar.” For this discussion, Wolfington focused on the environmental aspects of sustainability. In terms of the environment, one way to measure the sustainability of a business is through the emissions output. Certain greenhouse gases, such as those emitted from a car or refrigerants, can devastatingly affect the environment. “Greenhouse gasses are measured by their capacity to store the sun's heat,” Wolfington said. “This is referred to as its global-warming potential or GWP.” These measurements translate to numbers that help determine how dangerous a particular gas emissions output is for the environment. Wolfington used the CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) scale to demonstrate how these measurements work. For example, one molecule of methane has the same heat storage capacity as 74 molecules of CO2. So, while CO2 may be the most prevalent greenhouse gas, some of these other gases could prove more harmful to the environment, and reducing those emissions is a critical step towards sustainability. Wolfington said Boland works closely with their customers to help them meet their sustainability goals and find ways to reduce those emissions in their buildings.
