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]

Are There Practical Solutions To Methane Emissions From Cattle?
Today is the 4th of July in the US. Around the country people will be firing up their grills and eating juicy hamburgers. Few party-goers, though, will think about the methane emissions that result from vast herds of US factory farmed-cattle. Scientists have been trying for years to find just … [continued]

Why Hydrogen Won’t Win The Zero-Carbon Steel Race
Recent adjustments to my projections for global steel demand through 2100, reflecting a significant slowdown in Chinese infrastructure and cement consumption, have sharpened my economic focus on competing new steelmaking technologies. With lower growth trajectories for steel firmly established, every ton produced in the coming decades will increasingly face stringent … [continued]

Flash Ironmaking Hits Combustion Wall Amid Steel’s Decarbonization Shift
My recent update of my global steel projection through 2100, driven by China’s declining demand for cement and infrastructure construction, has refocused my attention on pathways for steel decarbonization. The dynamics of steel consumption and emissions are closely linked to building and infrastructure development, sectors traditionally responsible for about half … [continued]
