https://lnkd.in/gKGi53Eu Three small countries in the world have something amazing to boast about – they are all carbon negative. Serious! Bhutan, Suriname, and Panama stand out from the rest of the world because they absorb more greenhouse gases than they emit. I was curious how this was possible, and it...

https://lnkd.in/gKGi53Eu Oceans are by far the largest sinks of CO2, but… Oceans store about 38,000 billion tons of CO2 – more than ten times the amount of CO2 of all the other sinks COMBINED. So, should we store all the CO2 we capture over the next few decades under the...

https://lnkd.in/gKGi53Eu Aircraft and battery size For all the talk about electric aviation, the industry is yet to figure out how to overcome a fairly hard problem – let’s call it the 40:1 problem Batteries – even the best of them – have energy densities of only about 300 Wh per...

https://lnkd.in/gKGi53Eu Based on 2017 data, an average American consumes about 800 times the electricity as an average citizen of Guinea Bissau. In other words, an average American uses more electricity in one day than an average Guinea Bissau citizen does in two years. Should we chide the rich Americans for...

https://lnkd.in/gKGi53Eu If you look at it from one angle, the term low carbon doesn’t make much sense, and no carbon even less. Because life on earth is all about carbon. Plants, humans, we are all made of carbon. Just in case you didn’t realize it until now, repeat it after...

https://lnkd.in/gKGi53Eu When you try to capture CO2 in the atmosphere, you are trying to capture something that is present in very small concentrations – one in two thousandth. It doesn’t need a genius to figure that doing this is gonna need a lot of energy directly or otherwise, and more...

https://lnkd.in/gKGi53Eu Durable bioplastics are not biodegradable Now, here is a bit of irony. About 3 million tons of bioplastics are produced worldwide, which in itself is not a lot – only about 1% of the total plastics production. More interestingly, a large percentage of the bioplastics produced is actually durable...

This post is a part of my CLIMATE CONUNDRUM Series. See all posts in this series here https://lnkd.in/gKGi53Eu To fly or not to fly One Delhi-NYC-Delhi flight trip emits so much CO2 emissions PER PASSENGER that it is equivalent to the emissions from running a 1 ton AC daily for...
