First, most decarbonization scenarios envision the share of fossil fuel energy from natural gas (which Shell sells and has the least CO 2 per unit energy) to increase as that of coal (which Shell does not sell has the most CO 2 ) declines. In fact, Milieudefensie et al could cause two important perverse incentives.

Now, a new study in Frontiers in Environmental Science has shown that modern ‘green’ products recycled from human excreta are excellent – and importantly, safe – fertilizers for agriculture. Urine is especially rich in nitrogen and potassium, and also contains trace amounts of metals such as boron, zinc, and iron.

Gas stoves, which are in 38 percent of US households, not only emit methane, but also toxic pollutants besides NO2 that are associated with respiratory ailments and cancer. A 2022 study in Environmental Science and Technology detected more than 20 volatile organic compounds, including hexane, toluene and benzene, in unburned stove gas.
