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
Clean Energy: Decarbonizing the US Power Grid
By Aaron Foyer VP, Orennia Since 2005, the US power sector has made significant strides in reducing emissions, mainly through the transition from coal to natural gas and the widespread adoption of renewables, particularly wind and solar. These changes have played a critical role in creating a more sustainable energy landscape. Coal-to-gas switching: The shift… Continue reading Clean Energy: Decarbonizing the US Power Grid
