| March 23, 2021 | A Primer on Carbon Dioxide Removal | Erica L. Belmont, Jeremy Freeman, Noah McQueen, Peter Psarras, Toly Rinberg | Carbon Dioxide Removal is an industrial-scale strategy to hold climate change in check. Five experts weigh in on CDR’s potential, challenges and moral hazards. |
| January 12, 2021 | Europe Maps Out Its Hydrogen Energy Strategy | Kirsten Westphal | Hydrogen energy is a key part of Europe’s plan to zero out carbon emissions by mid-century. But can the bloc build hydrogen capacity, and demand, in time to reach its goal? |
| December 15, 2020 | Energy Storage’s Seasonal Challenge | Oscar Serpell | Electricity storage technologies have proven their worth in balancing daily fluctuations in wind and solar output. But can storage address the challenges presented by the decarbonized grid of the future? |
| March 3, 2020 | The Challenge of Scaling Negative Emissions | Jennifer Wilcox | The author of the first text book on carbon capture looks at the potential for negative emissions technologies to limit global warming, and discusses the challenge to scaling solutions for positive climate impact. |
| October 15, 2019 | The Path Forward for Grid Electricity Storage | Ken Kulak | Battery storage will play a central role in decarbonizing the nation’s electric grid, yet the rules by which batteries will compete in electricity markets have yet to be agreed upon. |
| April 2, 2019 | A Hard Look at Negative Emissions | Glen Peters | Much faith is being put in the ability of negative emissions technologies to slow the pace of climate change. Glen Peters of Norway’s Center for International Climate Research looks at the potential of negative emissions strategies, and the steep challenges to implementing them. |
