Land application of biochar represents a “valuable” component of carbon farming through carbon sequestration, the reduction in GHG emissions with further eco-system service benefits. The following recommendations arise from the LCA of the production and use of biochar from unutilised agricultural biomass in Ireland: Further exploration of biochar production and use from unutilised biomass and […]

A number of research scientists believe that the potential of our soils to sequester carbon has been seriously overestimated. Some recent studies, estimating the potential of farmland to store more carbon through innovative soil management, are presenting an overoptimistic picture of what can be achieved and the analyses need to undergo a ‘reality check’, according […]

Northwest Europe remains most expensive region Weak industrial demand weighs on prices in Asia Blue ammonia project momentum continues Platts blue ammonia price assessments for Far East Asia slipped to parity with values in the US in November, reflecting weaker underlying conventional ammonia demand east of Suez, while prices in Europe edged higher.

Earth faces the imminent threat of a triple crisis involving climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, necessitating urgent action to transition toward a circular economy. The exploitation of oil, gas, and coal is now destabilizing all nine planetary boundaries and driving a triple crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The solution, experts say, […]

In a major review of climate science last year, United Nations scientists concluded that halting carbon emissions from fossil fuels was no longer enough to keep the world to safe levels of global warming. Pulling carbon out of the air is now “unavoidable”, they said, to reach net-zero greenhouse emissions in the decades ahead. However, […]

Indonesia’s state-owned Pertamina signed deals this week with Chevron, ExxonMobil and Chinese state-controlled Sinopec to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) and geothermal capacity in Indonesia. Pertamina has agreed with Chevron to carry out a joint study into the feasibility of CCS and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) in east Kalimantan. The firms “have […]

Upon my recent second viewing of the “Kiss the Ground” documentary, I felt the need to share my thoughts on the film’s optimistic claims about Earth’s soils capacity to store carbon dioxide for climate stabilization. The film, in its pursuit of a utopian “silver bullet” solution, overlooks significant details. A misleading graphic shown early in […]
