Will storing CO2 in old oil fields slow global warming? First California plan nears approval
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has tentatively approved California Resources Corp.'s proposal to store carbon emissions underground, marking the first approval of this kind in the state.
California Resources Corp. plans to send 1.46 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year into a depleted oil reservoir, collected from nearby industrial sources. The emissions will be compressed and injected more than one mile underground. [ more ]
The recent global climate summit recognized the importance of protecting ecosystems and committed to halting deforestation and land degradation by 2030.
Scientists are using space-based lasers to measure the biomass of forests and determine how much carbon they store. [ more ]
