California recently extended , for the second time, the operations of three gas plants to 2026. Leaks in gas pipelines and wells also release methane into the atmosphere, a much more potent heat-trapping emission than CO 2.

gigawatts of capacity from gas plants are planned to go online from 2023 to 2026. Gas plants release heat trapping emissions that go into the atmosphere and contribute to the climate crisis, and this affects us all.

The IOC announced in March 2020 that all Olympic Games will be required to be climate positive from 2030 onwards – removing more carbon from the atmosphere than they emit. In 2026 Senegal will be the host of the Youth Olympic Games as it will take place in the country’s capital, Dakar.

If the hydrogen is generated using renewable electricity (known as green hydrogen) and the carbon dioxide is captured from the atmosphere, models have shown it to have zero, or very close to zero, carbon emissions. It is made by combining hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Recent findings from the World Meteorological Organization predict a 50:50 chance at least one year between 2022 and 2026 will exceed 1.5°C

To meet these goals, the state is facilitating burgeoning carbon capture and sequestration (or storage) (CCS) technologies that capture carbon from point sources to store, as well as carbon dioxide removal (CDR), which removes carbon from the atmosphere. Two new laws address this issue on different fronts.

In fact, the impact assessment supporting the Commission’s proposed 2040 target suggests that the EU may need to remove up to 400 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere annually by 2040, and significantly more to achieve net-negative emissions after 2050.
