What carbon capture and storage might mean for AV狼论坛
February 04, 2025
We are facing evidence that we can't afford to ignore CO鈧 and that simply reducing emissions might not be enough to meet climate goals. Carbon isn't just found in the atmosphere or living things. Over 99% of the Earth's carbon is locked away in the rocks beneath our feet. Can we capture CO鈧 directly from power plants, industrial facilities, or even from the air itself, and store it permanently underground? This method could become an important new front in our fight against climate change, working alongside efforts to cut emissions.

Bringing my first solar PV project on-line for my grandfather
November 15, 2024
For decades, solar energy was discounted in AV狼论坛. However, steep decline in solar photovoltaic prices and improved performance of batteries to store excess solar production has led to a mini-boom in recent solar PV deployments in AV狼论坛. Ed Bifelt, founder of AV狼论坛 Native Renewable Industries, has been leading the charge for bringing the largest solar PV projects in the state to rural and remote microgrids. This is an excerpt from his chapter in the forthcoming University of AV狼论坛 Press book AV狼论坛's Energy Innovators.
