School and city buses, trash trucks, 18-wheelers, and off-road construction vehicles, are among the many fluxes of emissions from the transportation sector.

Key Points: 
  • School and city buses, trash trucks, 18-wheelers, and off-road construction vehicles, are among the many fluxes of emissions from the transportation sector.
  • This suggests that communities of color are affected significantly more by the adverse effects of the public and private transportation sector.
  • However, replacing fossil fuel-based diesel with biomass-based diesel, which would lower emissions, is one of the most important measures to decrease negative health disparities in communities of color.
  • Green vehicles not only help mitigate transportation pollution's impact on public health, but also lower diesel fuel costs.

SKIPTON and LEEDS, Oct. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Artisan Electrics of Cambridge are upgrading a 45kw 9 year old Solar farm with panels that will almost double the Electricity generated making their client energy self sufficient the whole year. 

Key Points: 
  • Normally disposing of old panels is an environmental nightmare, involving tricky logistics and  landfill or solvent intensive reclamation processes.
  • Whilst on  this project they came across Uk Company Cody Earth Solutions, who work in Mauritania with Mauritanian Company Ecobat Solar and are currently installing solar pumps there in three locations.
  • Cody are able to relocate the  old panels to Thiambene in South Mauritania, where they will support irrigation  for the next 20 years.
  • The solar pumps require a lot less maintenance than diesel ones and require less energy to operate.

Made in America: how Biden's climate package is fuelling the global drive to net zero

This article is part of a series by The Conversation, Getting to Zero, examining Australia’s energy transition.

Key Points: 
  • This article is part of a series by The Conversation, Getting to Zero, examining Australia’s energy transition.
  • Just over a year since US President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) into law, it’s becoming clear this strangely named piece of legislation could have a powerful impact in spurring the global transition to net zero emissions by 2050.

The IRA changes the landscape

    • Passage of the IRA, in August 2022, ensured a swathe of green technologies would benefit from tax credits, loans, customer rebates and other incentives.
    • The IRA is all carrot, no stick.
    • To free-market economists who ask why government should invest in private sector industries, the answer is that the green energy transition is not natural.

Industrial policy to protect the climate

    • More than climate policy, it is industrial policy, replete with made-in-America provisions.
    • Companies are more likely to obtain tax credits if they employ unionised labour, train apprentices and set up shop in states that are transitioning out of fossil fuels.
    • Similarly, wind and solar projects will earn tax credits only if half of their manufactured components are made in America.
    • Yet while America’s strongest allies are also alarmed by the challenge from China, they are disturbed by aspects of the IRA.

Why the IRA challenges Australia

    • In Australia, before the IRA was legislated, the Morrison government provided a A$1.25 billion loan to Iluka Resources to fund construction of an integrated rare-earths refinery in Western Australia.
    • But Australia risks being left behind in the race to build clean energy industries.
    • Here's what the hype is all about

      The IRA, however, brings Australia many potential benefits.

    • Australia can also build new industrial processes and supply chains so that we earn more from decarbonised metallic iron, aluminium and nitrogenous fertiliser.

Oceana’s Vice President for the United States, Beth Lowell, condemned the new leasing program and criticized President Biden for failing to keep his promise to prevent new drilling in U.S. waters:

Key Points: 
  • Oceana’s Vice President for the United States, Beth Lowell, condemned the new leasing program and criticized President Biden for failing to keep his promise to prevent new drilling in U.S. waters:
    “By failing to end new offshore drilling, President Biden missed an easy opportunity to do the right thing and deliver on climate for the American people.
  • President Biden is unfortunately showing the world that it’s okay to continue to prioritize polluters over real climate solutions.
  • Expanding dirty and dangerous offshore drilling only exacerbates the climate catastrophe that is already at our doorstep.

Here's how to fix Australia's approach to soil carbon credits so they really count towards our climate goals

Farmers can be awarded credits for increasing soil carbon content.

Key Points: 
  • Farmers can be awarded credits for increasing soil carbon content.
  • As Australian agricultural and soil scientists, we have serious concerns about the way credits are awarded for soil carbon sequestration under the Australian carbon credit unit scheme.

Understanding the carbon cycle

    • Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow.
    • When carbon inputs from plants exceed losses from the decomposition of organic matter, the amount of soil carbon increases.

Increases need to be due to management

    • Namely, carbon credits are being awarded for changes associated with seasonal conditions (changes that would have happened anyway) rather than human actions.
    • This is problematic because it can award credits to projects that report increases during relatively wet periods.
    • That means credits were awarded for sequestration that had more to do with the weather than good management.

Soil carbon can be lost

    • Where soil carbon losses are greater than inputs, soil carbon stocks decline and sequestered carbon is released back to the atmosphere.
    • Furthermore, modelling indicates it’s likely soil carbon could be lost under the warmer and drier conditions of future climates.

Overinflated sequestration rates

    • This is not the first time a soil carbon project has made unrealistic claims.
    • This is an issue because published studies show soil carbon changes in deeper soil are relatively small and happen slowly.
    • Read more:
      Chubb review of Australia's carbon credit scheme falls short – and problems will continue to fester

Contributing to our emissions targets?

    • Australia’s emissions are reported annually to the United Nations in the national greenhouse gas inventory.
    • These annual inventories show progress towards our declared emissions reduction targets.
    • This means some soil carbon credits the Australian government purchases do not count toward our emissions targets.

Getting it right

    • For instance, the Verra scheme in the international voluntary carbon market uses a method that minimises crediting for increases associated with rainfall.
    • There also needs to be greater focus on monitoring changes in soil carbon.
    • For a start, Australia’s Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network should be extended to include agricultural land.
    • Aaron has received funding from the Commonwealth and NSW governments for soil carbon research and policy development.
    • He has received funding from the Commonwealth Government and from Grains Research and Development Corporation for research relevant to soil carbon.
    • He receives funding from Meat and Livestock Australia and Department Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for soil carbon research.
