So wrong. what planet are from, clearly not this one?

There's obviously a story behind that interesting picture. Could you please post a link for it. Ta.

Construction equipment maker JCB has signed a deal to buy billions of pounds of green hydrogen, defined as hydrogen produced using renewable energy.

The deal means JCB will take 10% of the green hydrogen made by the Australian firm Fortescue Future Industries (FFI).

FFI said the deal was a "first-of-a-kind partnership" that would see it become the UK's largest supplier of the clean fuel...

... JCB and a firm called Ryze Hydrogen would then distribute it in the UK...

... Lord Bamford has also called on the government to invest in hydrogen-fuelled forms of transport such as buses, trains and aircraft.

In a statement, he said: "It's fine having an engine powered by green hydrogen, but no good if customers can't get green hydrogen to fuel their machines. "This is a major advance on the road towards making green hydrogen a viable solution."...

... JCB, based in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, also announced earlier this month that it was spending £100m on a project to produce "super efficient hydrogen engines" to power its machinery...

As the world slowly moves away from using fossil fuels for electricity, a tiny Scottish island has shown it’s possible to rely almost entirely on renewables... Since ... 2008...

More than 40 countries have committed to shift away from coal, in pledges made at the COP26 climate summit.

Major coal-using countries including Poland, Vietnam and Chile are among those to make the commitment.

But some of the world's biggest coal-dependent countries, including China and the US, did not sign up...

... Coal is the single biggest contributor to climate change...

... While the US was notably absent from the coal commitments, it joined 19 other countries - including the UK, Canada and New Zealand - in pledging to stop financing unabated overseas fossil fuel projects...

... "Ending international finance for all unabated fossil fuels is the next critical frontier we must deliver on," UK energy minister Greg Hands said. "We must put public finance on the right side of history."

However, major financers of such projects, such as China, Japan and South Korea, did not sign up. The countries did join G20 nations last month in agreeing to end financial support for new unabated coal plants overseas.

The Arctic Ocean has been warming since the onset of the 20th century, decades earlier than instrument observations would suggest, according to new research.
The study, published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, found that the expansion of warm Atlantic Ocean water flowing into the Arctic, a phenomenon known as "Atlantification," has caused Arctic water temperature in the region studied to increase by around 2 degrees Celsius since 1900.
Francesco Muschitiello, an author on the study and assistant professor of geography at the University of Cambridge, said the findings were worrisome because the early warming suggests there might be a flaw in the models scientists use to predict how the climate will change.

A net zero carbon McDonald's has opened in what the company believes is a UK first.

The wind turbine and solar panel-powered restaurant is in Market Drayton, Shropshire.

Recycled IT equipment and household goods make up the building's cladding, signs are from used coffee beans and insulation is provided by sheep wool.

The fast-food company said it would be used as a "blueprint" for other sites...

Can they claim that when they sell all those belching cow based products.

It took nature decades of photosynthesis, followed by eons of intense heat and pressure from geological activity to bake atmospheric carbon dioxide into the long chains of hydrocarbon that make up fossil fuels.

We don't have the luxury of millions of years to mop up the excess carbon from our atmosphere, but advances in chemistry could help us get part of the way there in a relative blink of the eye.

The latest advance is a new catalyst capable of churning out short-chained carbon molecules made from carbon dioxide at a rate that blows previous methods clear out of the water.

Developed by chemical engineers at Stanford University, the technology turns waste CO2 and a good dose of hydrogen into chains of ethane, propane, and even butane, all molecules that can serve as a fuel source.

"We can create gasoline, basically," says Matteo Cargnello, a chemical engineer at Stanford University.

In recent years, there's no shortage of efforts to find economical ways to pull carbon out of the air and turn it into something people will want to pay for, such as fuel or synthetic materials like plastic.

The challenge is to make something that will make a dent in the ridiculous amounts of carbon we pump into the atmosphere each and every year. That means a rapid process that can be scaled up cheaply, locking away as much carbon as possible into every molecule.

"To capture as much carbon as possible, you want the longest chain hydrocarbons. Chains with 8 to 12 carbon atoms would be the ideal," says Cargnello.

Current technologies struggle to get near this goal. The longer the chain, the more heat and pressure are required, making the process less efficient and more expensive.

Cargnello and his team focused their research on organic polymers – materials with pores that can be scaled easily to suit the kind of structure needed to maximize the reactivity of carbon dioxide and hydrogen into chains.

Combined with an effective catalytic metal to hasten the process (in this case, the element ruthenium combined with titanium oxide), the researchers could improve efficiency by modeling the polymer's pore structures.

And improve it they did, demonstrating a 10 fold increase in the turnover of high molecular weight carbon chains.

Remarkably, the rate of production for the four-carbon-long chains of butane ramped up 1,000 fold by coating the catalyst in a specific kind of porous organic polymer.

While generating green energy, solar panels usually create excess heat that goes unused. But with a new, innovative design, scientists have found a way to harness those precious leftovers to give the power producers a second purpose: pulling water out of thin air....
