Reducing black carbon emissions from kerosene lighting sources offers climate mitigation benefits
Around 1.3 billion people worldwide still lack access to electricity. For many, kerosene (paraffin) is a common lighting fuel and kerosene lamp use is widespread in the developing world. New research has shown that these lamps emit significant amounts of black carbon, 20 times more than previously estimated. A total…

Putting Energy Innovation First: Recommendations to Refocus, Reform, and Restructure the U.S. Department of Energy
It is widely accepted that America’s global scientific, technical, and economic leadership depend on high-quality education, world-class scientific research, competitive markets, and entrepreneurship. Robust innovation, which is dependent on those factors (among others), is almost universally regarded as a prerequisite for American success in an increasingly competitive global market. The…

Methane Emissions from the Oil and Gas Sector: Barriers to Abatement and Technologies for Emission Reductions
Methane is a unique hydrocarbon in several respects. It is a clean burning fuel, easy to desulfurize, easy to produce, transport to market, easy to use by consumers. It is also a powerful greenhouse gas partially because it is the only hydrocarbon lighter than air, and gravitates up in the…

Best Practices for Reduction of Methane and Black Carbon from Arctic Oil and Gas Production
Methane and black carbon are important short-term climate pollutants. Changing technology and climate change itself have increased the amount of oil and gas production activities in the Arctic region and this trend is expected to accelerate, with the potential for yet more methane and black carbon emissions from this activity….

Geologic Carbon Storage Through Enhanced Oil Recovery
The advancement of carbon capture technology combined with carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) holds the promise of reducing the carbon footprint of coal-fired power plants and other industrial sources, while at the same time boosting production of oil. CO2 injection in deep formations has a long track record….
