Solar-powered reactor shows potential for creating jet fuel with net-zero carbon emissions

TechXplore

But there are still areas where carbon-based fuel remains the standard, such as in the aviation industry. To address this need, scientists have been working to devise a way to use sunlight to generate solar-thermal heating that could then drive the chemical reactions that are needed to make jet fuel with net-zero carbon emissions.

Carbon Mapper Releases First Emissions Detections from the Tanager-1 Satellite

Planet Pulse

Tanager-1 is made possible by the Carbon Mapper Coalition , a philanthropically-funded effort to develop and deploy satellites designed to detect and track methane and CO2 super-emitters at a level of granularity needed to support direct mitigation action. Carbon Mapper’s preliminary estimate of the emission rate is 1,200 kg CH4 /h.
