Climate Letter #390

Methane spikes in the far north remain troublesome. Recent data from NOAA is discussed in this post from Robert Fanney. A high concentration at a certain location and a certain level of the atmosphere has limited greenhouse effects but still carries a strong message—something is going on down below that we don’t like. Moreover, these northern emissions are coming from natural feedback sources that are almost impossible to control by direct measures. Globally, for the past two full years, the rate of climb for methane, as measured at Mauna Loa, has exceeded the rate of climb for CO2 by a small margin, and is perhaps accelerating, after running more slowly since the year 2000. That is not at all a good sign.

Follow-up on the new clean-fuel project backed by Audi. Here is some more information, with the help of a video, as reported by National Geographic. Notice that the entire effort includes research into a means of removing CO2 from the atmosphere, which would be quite a bonus if proven practical. (Search “Climeworks” for more information.) Just making use of CO2 captured from concentrated sources has plenty of attraction as an alternative to the usual sequestering ideas. Whatever is going on here, not well-promoted in the U.S., really does sound interesting, and I will be watching for more news..

Progress for low-cost windpower. This new project will set a number of high standards for the industry. It will be built in Australia, in spite of federal government policies that are the most unfriendly of all to renewable energy. The project is favored by wind conditions in the area that consistently produce energy about 90% of the time, which is quite an advantage over solar devices.

An initiative that promises to reduce gas flaring practices. This wasteful and highly destructive practice may finally be significantly reduced through wide-ranging agreements that have a number of big producers on board. The U.S. is not yet involved, but will certainly be pressured to do so.
