One in a series of interviews conducted by participants in the U.S. Global Change Research Program, a federal program mandated by Congress to coordinate research and investments in understanding the human and natural forces shaping the global environment and their impacts on society.
“The startup has designed a proprietary Carbon Capsule unit that retrofits into any HVAC unit, and screens a portion of a commercial building’s ventilated air for carbon dioxide and other pollutants. That captured gas and particulates is combined with lime to produce a carbon-negative limestone solution that is pushed out of the unit.”
“Researchers at the Richland campus are working to streamline and scale up a bioengineering process to produce renewable natural gas out of treated human feces.”
“Delaware officials recently laid out the plan requiring car manufacturers to only sell zero-emission vehicles in a series of public meetings, but not everyone commenting during the Nov. 15 meeting was on board.”

“They capture cattle gas from manure and produce enough methane to power 1,300 homes — and they sell it all to gas company.”
“From localized production, preservation of engineering knowledge, cost efficiency, and technical variability, hydrogen can free us from being dependent on foreign nations for both oil and battery materials.”
“In the era of climate change, biogas development offers an important opportunity to reduce carbon emissions while producing digestate as a valuable by-product that can support food security.”
Presented at virtual public meetings between Nov. 14 and 17 on electric vehicle infrastructure and clean car regulations that the state is pursuing to reduce transportation-related emissions.
