We all know that cows (and other ruminants animals like sheep) emit methane, a strong greenhouse gas. But this methane is part of a natural, or biogenic, carbon cycle where the methane breaks down into CO2 and water after about 12 years. The grass then absorbs the CO2 through photosynthesis, cows eat the grass and the cycle continues.

The CO2 from burning fossil fuel on the other hand, stays in the atmosphere for potentially 1,000 years

This animation shows how the environmental impact of methane emissions from cows is fundamentally different to the carbon dioxide from fossil fuels.

In Australia methane emissions from agriculture are falling due to the innovative emissions reduction practices and technologies that are making the red meat and livestock industry part of the climate solution.

Delta’s Managing Director of Sustainability Amelia Deluca commits to setting science-based targets to reduce Delta’s greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, Delta has pledged it will fly on 10% sustainable aviation fuel by 2030 to help create a better world for all.

Global Citizen Live calls for action to halt climate change and for wealthy countries to deliver on the 0B climate pledge, B for famine relief, and COVID-19 vaccine justice for all. On Sept. 25, 2021, over 60M COVID-19 vaccines, 157M trees, and more than US.1B in commitments to climate, famine, and COVID-19 response efforts were announced as part of the partner-led campaign. The Global Citizen Live campaign continues in the lead-up to the G20 Summit and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) later this year.

Thermal Battery – Solution to All Problems with Renewable Energy? (Thermal Energy Storage)

Are this technology the solution to all problems with renewal energy? Thermal battery are a technology used as a method of storing clean renewable energy. This is especially beneficial for intermittent renewable energy sources such as the sun and wind. There are various types of thermal batteries, which operate uniquely form each other. This video specifically focuses on the Thermal Energy Storage Method Dealing with Silicon as the Phase Change Material

Two Australian companies CCT Energy Storage and 1414 Degrees are currently making use of Silicon as the Phase Change Material for their respective Thermal Storage Systems (Thermal Batteries).

Silicon possess several properties making it a far better alternative than Lithium-ion, being cheaper and more energy dense.

Thermal Energy Batteries (Thermal Energy Storage Devices) shows immense potential and will definitely play a vital role in the future of renewable energy.
