What carbon capture and storage might mean for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ
February 04, 2025
We are facing evidence that we can't afford to ignore COâ‚‚ and that simply reducing emissions might not be enough to meet climate goals. Carbon isn't just found in the atmosphere or living things. Over 99% of the Earth's carbon is locked away in the rocks beneath our feet. Can we capture COâ‚‚ directly from power plants, industrial facilities, or even from the air itself, and store it permanently underground? This method could become an important new front in our fight against climate change, working alongside efforts to cut emissions.

For decades, solar energy was discounted in ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. However, steep decline in solar photovoltaic prices and improved performance of batteries to store excess solar production has led to a mini-boom in recent solar PV deployments in ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. Ed Bifelt, founder of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Native Renewable Industries, has been leading the charge for bringing the largest solar PV projects in the state to rural and remote microgrids. This is an excerpt from his chapter in the forthcoming University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Press book ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ's Energy Innovators.
