Examining today’s carbon markets
Comparison: Key North American Carbon Markets
Carbon markets are increasingly popular as a market-based approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They offer financial incentives to companies to decarbonize by placing a cost on carbon emissions while offering credits for overachieving reductions. Active compliance markets There are several carbon market types in action across North America. Some are broader markets, like regional… Continue reading Comparison: Key North American Carbon Markets

Charted: Increased US Cleantech Spending
Clean energy investment in the US has been growing substantially in recent years, reflecting a broad-based shift towards sustainable energy solutions. Renewables: The cost of wind and solar power has dropped significantly, making them competitive with traditional energy sources. While wind received substantial investment in 2020 and 2021, it has cooled in recent years… Continue reading Charted: Increased US Cleantech Spending

North American Carbon Capture Hubs
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is a technology aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and the power sector. The process involves capturing carbon dioxide, compressing it, and then either storing it permanently or using it for industrial or commercial uses. Key components Capture: Carbon dioxide is separated from other greenhouse gases.… Continue reading North American Carbon Capture Hubs
Mapped: Carbon Dioxide Emissions Across North America
Carbon dioxide emissions dispersed across North America, though concentrated in regions with high populations and industrial activities. Areas with more aggregated emissions are focus areas for carbon capture technologies, low-carbon fuel development and clean manufacturing. ___ UNITED STATES Emissions are spread across the US, concentrated in regions with significant populations and large industrial or manufacturing… Continue reading Mapped: Carbon Dioxide Emissions Across North America
Visualized: Cleaning Up the US Electricity Sector
By Aaron Foyer VP, Orennia The reduction of carbon intensity in the US electrical grid during the 21st century has been a significant focus of environmental policy and technological development, driven by both technology and policy. Shift to renewables: There has been a substantial increase in the use of renewable sources, including wind, solar and… Continue reading Visualized: Cleaning Up the US Electricity Sector
