Climate News Weekly: Climate policy impacts, mapping emissions with precision, hydrogen infrastructure updates, and more
In this Episode
Climate News Weekly is back to cover the week’s biggest stories in climate news with host James Lawler, joined by Julio Friedmann and Darren Hau. The team kicks off this week’s coverage with an analysis that uses artificial intelligence to determine the impacts of 1500 climate policies on emissions. Up next, Julio and James discuss a new CarbonMapper satellite that can detect methane and carbon dioxide emissions with high precision. The team also discusses the hydrogen industry’s struggle to go green and the looming reality of irreversible climate tipping points.

Making hydrogen and carbon black out of renewable natural gas
Renewable natural gas (RNG), made from the decomposition of organic waste like livestock manure, is not necessarily net-zero if it’s burned to run a turbine or drive a car. But what if the RNG is not burned, but is rather pyrolyzed, breaking it down in
