A Quick Science Refresher on Greenhouse Gas

Greenbuilding Law

With the federal government and state of Maryland each having announced within days of each other, the mandated disclosure of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we have received, maybe not surprising, many calls in the last two weeks inquiring “what are GHGs?” In 2020, carbon dioxide accounted for about 79% of all U.S.

The definitive CO2/CH4 comparison post

Real Climate

, but it inevitably brings forth a mish-mash of half-remembered, inappropriate or out-of-date comparisons between the impacts of carbon dioxide and methane. So this is an attempt to put all of that in context and provide a hopefully comprehensive guide to how, when, and why to properly compare the two greenhouse gases.

Reducing Your Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Greenbuilding Law

As governments enact mandatory greenhouse gas emission laws and as businesses voluntarily make “net zero” pledges, we are increasingly working with organizations, first to understand and calculate their GHG emissions, then to implement strategies for efficacious yet frictionless reductions. Those options often include: Green building.

We need real climate plans not false solutions

Enviromental Defense

When it comes to climate action, it can be difficult to understand what makes a strong climate plan that puts us on a pathway to zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – and what new policies and tools are actually dangerous distractions from real solutions. They call this Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS).
