Farmed Shrimp Is High Carbon As Well
After writing about two of the highest carbon foods, which are beef and lamb, it seems a mini-series is developing. The next high-carbon food, to make a trio, is farmed shrimp. Some of us may have had a kiddie shrimp cocktail or taken a family vacation to a southern state, … [continued]

ICCT’s Hydrogen Assessments Remain Flawed & They Need To Fix Themselves
The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has released yet another report assessing road vehicle decarbonization in Europe, and once again, the analysis systematically misses the mark on hydrogen. The ICCT’s latest lifecycle assessment (LCA) positions hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) as a climate-friendly alternative, offering competitive emissions profiles … [continued]

Lamb Is High Carbon Too?
After writing about how high in carbon beef is and some of its other problems, it seemed logical to consider what other animal-based foods are also high carbon. There are many, including one of the highest-carbon, which is lamb. Lambs and mature sheep are ruminant animals that emit methane, a … [continued]

Slow Down, Cool Down: Reducing Methane From Coastal Shipping
Ship-induced methane emissions from shallow seabed sediments have recently emerged as a previously overlooked greenhouse gas pathway. Recent research published in high-impact factor journal Communications Earth & Environment has provided substantial new data on ship-induced methane emissions. While my initial math on oceanic cargo shipping suggest that such emissions remain … [continued]
