Delays and Disagreements: The IPCC’s Struggle to Stay on Course

Union of Concerned Scientists

Working Group 3: Mitigation of Climate Change Evaluates pathways for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, sustainable development strategies, and the role of finance, technology, and policy in achieving net-zero emissions. Fossil fuels, which are central to mitigation discussions but were largely avoided, reflecting ongoing political tensions.

Proposed Electrolyzer Requirements for the Hydrogen Tax Credit: Strengths and Risks

Union of Concerned Scientists

Today, hydrogen is overwhelmingly produced through a heavily polluting fossil fuel-based process. Foremost among these is a legal memo from EPA regarding Treasury’s interpretation and implementation of “lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions” in 45V. It is a climate problem, not a climate solution. Geographic deliverability.

China’s oil demand could peak in 2025

A Greener Life

The forecast also predicts that Chinas overall fossil fuel demand will peak in 2028, coinciding with the peak in energy-related carbon emissions. By 2035, demand for refined fuel is expected to decrease by between 25-40% from 2023 levels.

Emergency? Part 4

Legal Planet

There should be a concerted effort to reach an international agreement for methane reduction, akin to the Kigali Amendment, which phases out another important greenhouse gas – hydrofluorocarbons — with emission reduction dates, enforcement, and funding and technical assistance to help countries meet the targets.

UCS Testimony on the Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit

Union of Concerned Scientists

UCS supports Treasury’s proposed temporal-matching requirement, with a phase-in of hourly matching by 2028 with no exemptions for legacy producers. Upstream methane emissions are a potentially substantial share of the overall emissions rate of fossil fuel-based hydrogen production facilities. Hourly matching.

Abandoned Well Citizen Expert Laurie Barr, University Of Pennsylvania Prof. Jennifer Wilcox Recognized On The Grist 50 List

PA Environment Daily

These wells are sometimes hidden deep in forests, on public roads, even under homes, slowly corroding and leaking methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Carbon capture and storage, or CCS, has long been controversial, often seen as a distraction or a crutch for fossil fuel companies.
