Nordic Pavilion: Engineering real solutions for climate action - Evidence-based, deliverable national energy scenarios that help deliver agreed NDCs
Live now! 16:00-17:00
The recent 2021 IPCC report highlights the urgent action needed to reduce large-scale greenhouse gas emissions.
Future Climate – Engineering Solutions is a network of professional engineering associations. They have developed a peer-reviewed framework methodology to produce clear, science-based, actionable national energy and climate plans, which support governments and policymakers to meet their NDCs, mitigate climate change and achieve the Paris Agreement goals.
This event will present the methodology, example national energy and climate plans developed by engineers and discuss the processes involved.
Speakers:
Alana Collis, IChemE Learned Society and Policy Manager, Institution of Chemical Engineers, United Kingdom, Co-Chair Future Climate-Engineering Solutions
Jonathan Symonds, Managing Director, Products Division, Cambustion, United Kingdom
Kurt Emil Eriksen, Senior Political Advisor, VELUX Group and Board Member, IDA Buildings (Danish Society of Engineers)
Beatriz Fernandez, Associate Programme Management Officer UNEP, Co-Chair Future-Climate
Organizer:
Future Climate Engineering Solutions
Co-organizers: The Society of engineers, Denmark. IchemiE

We need to stop methane and #BuyMoreTime
We'll plant a tree for you
And together we've planted over 150,000 trees. One tree is planted for every climate review written to an organization that is Open for Climate Dialogue™.
How does this work?

An idea... The carbon capture methods currently used seems inefficient at best from the information I have found. Why not "restore" the old emptied oil and gas reserves with just what they where originally made up of - biomass? For example, pump down an "algae mush" and then just leave it there! The algae might not even need to be cultured, just harvest it from the ocean that is already having increasing problems with algal blooms. The danger of "leakage" should not be a problem, the algae already exists in the environment. Maybe gas building up from decomposition, but then make biogas from it first? We have plenty of biogas-facilities here in Sweden that produce methane from for example sewage water. That methane can be burned in a generator to make electricity or even fuel a car (or I have also heard you can make liquid fuel out of methane?) Is there a reason this is not feasible that I have missed?

Congratulations Jon. A clear and promising plan!
