Colorado Oil & Gas Association’s Post

There will be seven science themes at Arctic Frontiers 2025: Beyond Borders. These represent the latest developments in Arctic research. Call for abstracts is open until the 27th of September.

In SUMMARY (typo edit) ….#CCS (carbon capture and storage) does NOT offer a solution to the #climatecrisis - it’s proven to not be a solution, but simply a convenient and cynical distraction to enable the #BigOil cartel to INCREASE fossil fuel production. The #MIT’s Energy department ‘leaders’ that said CCS is a solution to the #climatecrisis were initially ‘sponsored’ by the #coal industry in the persons of the Kosh Brothers - who funded MIT’s energy ‘research’. That CCS scam ‘research’ was intended to justify prolonging the production of Coal. However, when everyone started to agree that Coal was “dirty” - the same scam was ‘dusted off’ and re-booted by #BigOil (i.e. “CCS 2.0”) to provide cover and distractions from its stated intent to INCREASE fossil fuel production - as confirmed during #COP28 recently. That dishonest and (subsequently proven) fraudulent research on CCS’s (non) viability is what’s covered in the Video below… ironically by a real MIT professor with loads of credibility beyond just the MIT campus in Boson. Unfortunately, because #MIT is viewed as “credible and respected” (as is #Stanford where similar scheming took place), the #whitehouse people who hire ‘consultants/experts’ were totally blindsided by this CCS scam - and gave key ‘advisor/expert’ jobs to the scammer in chief Ernest Moniz and some of his fellow #BigOil conspirators. Maybe Jennifer Granholm - the current #US Energy Secretary in #joebiden’s administration, has the interest, moral compass and integrity to investigate this issue in a meaningful and responsible way…we can only hope!

💚 We LOVE #ClimateSolutions Breakthroughs! “Those who fall in love with the problem are the ones who will solve it,” states Prof. Brian Rosen, Head of the Energy Materials Lab at Tel Aviv University. The #BreakthroughResearchPrize has clearly fallen hard for Prof. Rosen’s research on #greenammonia, a sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally safe alternative energy source. Take a look here: https://lnkd.in/gFFNxxzJ Prof. Rosen is one of the recent recipients of the 2023 Breakthrough Research Prize, Israel’s most significant climate solutions incentive prize. Three Israeli climate technology companies were awarded the collective $1 million prize, which focuses on improving people’s lives and the planet’s health. The Breakthrough Research Prize fosters pioneering research and development, supporting initiatives to discover innovative climate solutions capable of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The prize is a joint initiative of Jewish National Fund of Canada and KKL JNF in partnership with Startup Nation Central. Let’s show some love for Prof. Rosen, the other prize winners, and striving for climate solutions!

Meet RE-INTEGRATE 's Researcher of the week! 🏛 Bob van der Zwaan, lead of the regional modelling work. Here his words on his research and the role of TNO, his institution, in the project: As principal scientist at TNO and professor at the University of Amsterdam, my research focuses on integrated assessment modeling of deep decarbonisation scenarios and on techno-economics analysis of individual climate change mitigation technologies. In Work Package 4 of the RE-INTEGRATE project, dedicated to studying the opportunities for regional AU-EU integration of climate-compatible development strategies, we carry out regional energy-economy-environment modelling assessments. We also develop joint AU-EU recommendations for coherent regional policy measures, and disseminate our combined insights amongst policymakers, industry, society and academia. #ReintegrateAU_EU

In the latest Annual Report of the TUM Institute for Advanced Study, there's something for nearly anyone interested in the interplay between science and technology, on the one hand, and environment, society, and the economy. For friends of Patrick Regan, I recommend my interview with Frank Keutsch of Harvard and Jia Chen of the Technical University of Munich: "From Urban Air to Global Climate," pages 42-55.

🌍 Excited to share my first published research article on the pressing energy crisis in Europe: “Challenges and ways of future sustainability” ! 📝 🔍 In this article, I delve into the multifaceted layers of the crisis, examining its origins, exacerbations, and the aftermath of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. I shed light on the measures adopted by European nations and the specific countries most impacted by this pivotal crisis. 🤝 Exploring the dynamics of international cooperation in addressing such a critical issue was a focal point, underscoring the significance of collaborative efforts in finding sustainable solutions. 📚 You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dyPryCpP 🌟 I'm honored to have contributed to the research team at the Faculty of Economic Studies and Political Science at Alexandria University, delving into an issue of paramount importance that holds significant implications for the future. 🌐 I hope this article sparks meaningful discussions and contributes to a deeper understanding of the energy crisis and its potential implications on a global scale. #EnergyCrisis #Europe #ResearchArticle #AlexandriaUniversity #InternationalCooperation #FutureReadings

MIT Professor Charles Harvey is one of the most brilliant debunkers of #carboncapture that you will ever come across. His Cornell lecture, his NYTimes op-ed, even his softball critique in the BBC's "Big Oil vs. the World, Part Three: Delay" (2022) — these have a devastating impact and an incredible number of views. And this link will take you to them. https://lnkd.in/eZu4td4a But this clip is from the end of his Cornell talk and I think it's the most revealing. Robert Howarth, his Cornell host, asks what can be done about the corruption of fossil fuel funding, and Charlie literally has no response. It is unimaginable to him that he could be involved in the effort to tell someone what they could or couldn't do. But what this brilliant man doesn't realize is that debunking is irrelevant. Big Oil is not have a technical discussion. A debate. Billions lost in failed projects is beside the point. Charlie's colleagues at MIT, specifically at the MIT Energy Initiative, have put the fix in. Carbon capture doesn't have to ever work, the fix is already in. It is a clean energy technology and it has transformed, as far as policy and funding is concerned, fossil fuels into clean energy. And if academic researchers don't participate in that fight, then what is happening now will go on forever. Fossil fuels, broken promises, and skyrocketing emissions. #ccs #charlesharvey #carboncapture #selected

The pitches of Yugo Tanaka (Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), Susanne Kurowski (Arepo GmbH), Martha M. Hoffmann (Europa-Universität Flensburg), Sichao Kan (Institute of Energy Economics, Japan - IEEJ), and Zarah Thiel (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) and the discussions addressed the following topics: 🔍 Socio-economic perspectives on energy policies in Germany 🌡️ Scenario analysis for achieving the 1.5°C Climate Target ⚖️ Addressing inequality & justice in energy policy research 💧 Evaluation of economic and environmental performance of hydrogen carrier from overseas production to domestic final consumption 📢 Technology framing and public support for measures to tackle climate change Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eJ5wXtmF #EnergyPolicy #ClimateAction #HydrogenTransition 🌱💡 Reiner Lemoine Institut gGmbH Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH

🌍 Today, I had the opportunity to attend an insightful event organized by the European Policies Research Centre at the University of Strathclyde, where Dr. Raphael L’Hoest, Deputy Director-General at the German Federal Ministry for Economics and Climate Action, delivered a thought-provoking talk on "Economics and Politics of Reconciling Economic Development and Decarbonisation." Dr. L’Hoest emphasized the ongoing efforts in Germany to foster sustainable energy and innovation while highlighting the importance of mineral research and funding. With a map of Germany, he showcased the regional developments in these areas. One key takeaway for me was recognizing the roadblocks that hinder the sustainable transition of economic growth and development. However, despite the challenges, Dr. L’Hoest’s presentation reminded us of the importance of maintaining a hopeful and adaptive attitude as we work towards a greener future. 🌱💡 #Sustainability #EconomicDevelopment #Decarbonisation #Innovation #EuropeanPolicies #ClimateAction #Strathclyde #Germany #MineralResearch
