RESET by Ross Garnaut | Restoring Australia after the great crash of 2020

"We have the lowest energy costs in a zero emissions world and it becomes an advantage in processing Australian minerals. That can become a huge industry.We also have big advantages in our huge areas of land for capturing carbon in plants, in the soil, exporting carbon credits, growing biomass for industry because we won't be making plastics and petrochemicals out of oil, gas and coal, we'll be making them out of biomass and if we get our act together we can do that more cheaply than others."

Any ideas for getting an Australian team to bid for this prize? https://www.ideaspies.com/posts/100m-xprize-for-carbon-removal-solutions

'Wish this guy was running the country - he makes so much unbiased good sense. This new tome is a really good read.

Ammonia Engine

German companies and researchers, led by MAN Energy Solutions, are working on a medium speed engine that can burn both diesel and ammonia. Ammonia is made from hydrogen through the Haber-Bosch at industrial scale and is a better energy carrier than hydrogen due to its high stability and energy density. An ammonia engine makes it possible to direct use of ammonia as power fuels by the transport sector for higher energy efficiency without converting it back to hydrogen. https://www.offshore-energy.biz/man-energy-kicks-off-ammoniamot-project/

Turn your town into an energy-lab

The "SmartQuart" project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi), is trialling three different non-fossil-fuel energy systems in three different towns/districts so that they can be compared. https://www.german-energy-solutions.de/GES/Redaktion/EN/News/2020/20200707-smart-quart.html

Giant exhaust fans to absorb carbon dioxide from the air

British start-up Storegga is developing one of the world’s first projects to hoover carbon dioxide directly from the air, before pumping it out to sea and burying it forever.Storegga’s plan starts with its Acorn project at St Fergus, which will offer traditional carbon capture and storage for big industrial players plus a hydrogen generation plant. But the novelty value comes from so-called “direct air capture” (DAC) of carbon dioxide.Companies in sectors such as aviation and agriculture will be able to offset their unavoidable carbon emissions by paying to remove an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide from the air.http://www.afr.com/business/energy/macquarie-backs-british-plan-to-hoover-carbon-from-the-air-20210330-p5
