We are creating a new scientific discipline and innovation ecosystem, where AI intersects with climate-smart agriculture and forestry. Our researchers are exploring compelling AI-powered knowledge and solutions—including, for example, using AI to enhance the measurement of greenhouse gasses, and creating specialized field-to-market decision support tools.
In case you’ve never seen a manure spreading operation at this scale. So much manure. What if we had to do this for WWTPs?
Oil companies capture a lot of their CO2. They use it to drill more oil.
But other environmental groups argue that the government shouldn’t be funding this type of oil recovery. As part of President Biden’s signature climate bill, Congress updated a tax credit known as 45Q, which pays companies to capture CO2. The tax credit now offers companies up to $60 per ton of CO2 captured and used for enhanced oil recovery. (Companies get more, up to $85 per ton, if they inject the CO2 underground in something like a saline aquifer.)
‘The whole institution is boiling’: Revolt inside a key climate target group
the second and most important problem concerns the way in which the board’s decision was made. SBTi’s technical team is in the middle of a study of companies’ use of environmental credits, reviewing a large volume of submissions made in a recent open consultation. SBTi staff members say that, by pre-empting the technical team, the board’s announcement has blatantly violated internal protocol — and the transparent, methodical approach to standard setting that is supposedly the organisation’s raison d’être.
