From Roads to Roads: The Circular Journey of Recycled Asphalt

Amidst a global push towards sustainability and recycling, one material stands out for its historical and ongoing recyclability – asphalt. Used primarily for paving roads, asphalt is heralded as one of the world’s most recycled materials, offering a noteworthy example of circular economy in action. According to a report by EHS Today, asphalt tops the […]

Melting Points: The Asphalt Dilemma with Rising Temperatures

As the world grapples with the escalating impacts of climate change, a less talked about yet significant concern is emerging—the interaction between asphalt, rising temperatures, and the ensuing environmental and infrastructural challenges. With cities experiencing more days with temperatures soaring above 95°F, the traditional composition and utilization of asphalt is scrutinized. How do rising temperatures […]

6 Steps to Achieve Negative Emissions with RNG

Using renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogas to produce hydrogen via methane pyrolysis and achieve negative emissions involves several steps. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: Biogas Production: Organic waste (e.g., agricultural waste, food waste, sewage sludge) undergoes anaerobic digestion in a biodigester. This process breaks down the organic matter in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas. […]

Decarbonizing the Public Sector: A Key, Overnight Step Towards Combating Climate Change

Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges we face today. To mitigate its impact, it is crucial for all sectors of society to take action, including the public sector. Decarbonizing the public sector is a vital step towards achieving net zero carbon emissions and addressing climate change effectively. Roles in Decarbonizing the […]

The Basics of a CI Score (Carbon Intensity Score)

Carbon intensity (CI) is a term that is growing in importance in natural gas and alternative fuel conversations. In this article we are going to explore the role carbon intensity plays in the alternative fuel industry, including the impact of carbon intensity and how a carbon intensity score is used. Most importantly, we’re going to […]

Is Natural Gas Carbon Footprint Significant?

Many people may refer to natural gas as the cleanest of all fossil fuels we use. Perhaps that’s why it is responsible for producing a significant portion of the world’s electricity. However, it is a fossil fuel, and like all fossil fuels, it has a carbon footprint. So, the question is: how much of a […]

Important Steps To Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

One of the first steps to stopping human-influenced climate change is to lower, if not eliminate, the amount of global greenhouse gas emissions produced by our activities. Carbon dioxide is one that we need to be particularly aware of, mainly because we’ve been putting billions of tons of it into the atmosphere every year over […]
