Duke Energy has upped its net-zero carbon by 2050 goals, pledging to eliminate methane emissions from its naturalgas business by 2030 through a combination of better pipeline leak detection, more efficient operations, and investing in renewable naturalgas to reduce the carbon intensity of its supplies.
Early pioneers of these hydrogen-from-waste technologies such as Ways2H, SGH2 Energy (SGH2) and Standard Hydrogen say not only are they making carbon-free, energy-rich fuel, their approaches also will divert mountains of trash from landfills and waterways, cutting greenhouse gas emissions. . There are other ways to make hydrogen.
It feels almost quaint to remember way back when "80 by 50" — an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 — was a bold goal for a company or government entity to make. For those not yet up to speed, net zero refers to the goal of emitting no greenhouse gases by a specific date, typically 2050. Joel Makower.

When shipping giant Maersk announced last month it would operate a “carbon-neutral” vessel by 2023, the Danish company committed to using a fuel that’s made from renewable sources, is free of soot-forming pollutants — and is currently in scarce supply. But those vessels use conventional methanol, which is made from coal or naturalgas.
Blue hydrogen is produced from naturalgas, with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology scooping up the resulting CO2. Blue hydrogen locks in dependence on naturalgas, with all the price volatility and geopolitics that comes with it, and it also relies on the development of cheap and effective CCS.

Counting on 'negative carbon' solutions.
DTE Gas Company , a subsidiary of Michigan’s largest utility, is expanding its naturalgas network to the area, giving over 1,000 homes and businesses the choice to switch to naturalgas. Naturalgas is more climate-friendly than the propane and wood used in much of the region, according to DTE.
Reaching Net Zero operations by 2050 will require huge changes in industrial practices – such as how we use energy and source raw materials – but despite all the challenges, the target is achievable writes Rob Jenkinson. As such, it has an ethical imperative to adopt practices that lead to carbonneutrality. New approach.
By 2030 BP hopes to have 10 percent of the clean hydrogen market in “core hydrogen markets” as it chases carbonneutrality by 2050. That term incorporates hydrogen produced from naturalgas with carbon capture technology in place, or so-called blue hydrogen. The German utilities E.ON

The roadmap identifies clean hydrogen as integral to achieving a carbon-free grid by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2050. With targeted support from the DOE, clean hydrogen stands as a pivotal tool in shaping a sustainable, carbon-neutral energy future. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap.
Researchers at the University of Sheffield are exploring new exhaust aftertreatment systems for heavy-duty engines capable of running on clean, zero-carbon fuels such as ammonia. In addition, diesel engines burn fossil fuels releasing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas (GHG), as well as other pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx).
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union on February 2 proposed including nuclear energy and naturalgas in its plans for building a climate-friendly future, dividing member countries and drawing outcry from environmentalists as “greenwashing.” Under the plan, gas projects must meet emission thresholds and achieve reduction targets.
utility can reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while still keeping naturalgas as a central part of its business, both to generate electricity and to sell to its customers. utility has yet fully fleshed out how it intends to eliminate naturalgas power plants from its generation portfolio.
And how do you reduce the carbon intensity of a hydrocarbon business? Then, naturalgas is suddenly in the hot seat. For gas-only utilities, one pathway is clear. And how will the battle over naturalgas connections play out? Recommended reading: Vox: The False Promise of Renewable NaturalGas.
On the other hand, DNV forecasts fossil fuels will still account for 40% of its energy mix in 2050. The power sector is decarbonizing quickly by replacing coal with domestically sourced renewable energy, and domestically produced coal will largely be sufficient for the remaining coal demand segments by 2050.
The UK's export agency has pledged to achieve net zero emissions across its financing portfolio by 2050, setting out its plans to increase support for 'green' projects and improve its understanding of climate-related risks.
This initiative aligns with Japans ambitious target of achieving carbonneutrality by 2050 and Australia’s aspiration to become a major hydrogen exporter. Through these tools, Kawasaki aims to address both the physical challenges of transporting hydrogen and the broader needs of low-carbon certification in global markets.
The announcement comes as Duke intends to deploy $63 billion of capital over the next five years, 80% of which is expected to support investments in grid modernization and zero or lower-carbon emitting generation. The Carbon Plan" would then be reviewed every two years and may be adjusted. GW of capacity since 2010, Good said.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) will stop backing fossil fuel energy projects in 2021, except those using carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology or offsets to cancel out their emissions. The EIB's new financing criteria will make lending to gas projects very difficult. Gas and LNG may be better but are they good enough?
The event aims to bring together policymakers and liquified naturalgas (LNG), naturalgas, and hydrogen players to explore new avenues for fossil fuel expansion. So they’re just going to try and squeeze out every last bit of profit they can and give it fancy new names like carbon capture and sequestration.
The company has already launched Operation Polaris*2, for the purpose of meeting its 2050 goal of being carbonneutral. This process generates electricity without resulting in the production of carbon dioxide emissions, unlike many other sources of electricity generation that use fossil fuels such as coal or naturalgas.
At the same time, Brussels signaled that it will also encourage the development of "blue" hydrogen produced from fossil fuels paired with carbon capture, at least for the time being. The Global CCS Institute, a carbon capture think tank based in London, called the EU's strategy ambitious, but warned against picking winners.
Hydrogen, liquified naturalgas and technologies geared at improving the energy efficiency of ships are among Shell's proposed solutions to decarbonise its shipping business. Liquefied naturalgas (LNG) is also set to play a "critical role" in making Shell's shipping operations more sustainable, according to yesterday's update.

So you would be eliminating the emissions because you’re eliminating the burning of naturalgas to oil, the water to create the steam.” The process currently uses large quantities of naturalgas, available in situ, which produces considerable carbon dioxide emissions.
"The fundamental purpose of the taxonomy is to enable capital to be channelled towards economic activities that are fully compatible with the EU's commitment to climate neutrality by 2050 and reducing emissions by 55 per cent by 2030… Put simply, there is no remaining carbon budget for new investments in naturalgas.".
It did so by making a bet that only government policy could move the economy and private sector to embrace clean energy at scale; and the only way to do this required restoring US manufacturing, addressing the supply chain crisis, and making energy both carbon-free and cheap. Economic opportunity.
for the whole of the third quarter, the first time that has happened, according to research by the Carbon Brief. Fossil fuels’ share of the electricity mix was 10 times larger than renewables’ a decade ago, Carbon Brief's data shows. insisting that it could manage a carbonneutral grid as early as 2025.
