The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have just issued their latest report – Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change. It paints a stark picture of increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across all major sectors globally. Without a strengthening of policies beyond those that are implemented by the end of 2020, GHG emissions are projected
Read MoreClimate scientists have detected warning signs of the collapse of the Gulf Stream, one of the planet’s main potential tipping points. Niklas Boers, from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, who did the research says “It’s something you just can’t [allow to] happen. It is not known what level of CO2 would trigger
Read MoreTrinity Green Energies (TGE) has joined Kinetic Labs in Waterford and will be bringing additional employment to the South East. Patsy Carney, Director of Kinetic Labs commented: “TGE joining Kinetic Labs is not only great for our science community, but also Waterford and the South East. I know that for start-ups finding affordable and flexible lab
Read MoreThe CCAG have issued one of their starkest warnings to date on the need for urgent climate action. They state that ‘greenhouse gas removal at scale is urgently required to bring atmospheric CO2 concentrations down to 350 ppm by 2100’.
Read MoreThe focus of TGE (Trinity Green Energies Ltd) is to capture CO2 from the atmosphere (Direct Air Capture or DAC) and utilise it in decentralised applications. Ideally we seek to capture carbon and use it in the same location to avoid the carbon penalty of moving the carbon. As summarised in Blog 2, “How do we
Read MoreCurrently the approach to CO2 emissions reduction relates primarily to the development of renewable energy resources (notably wind, solar and biomass), to the electrification of transport systems, to improved building design (insulation, air-handling etc) and production of new materials with lower carbon emissions. Unfortunately there are a number of key emission sources which defy easy mitigation
Read MoreIn 1960, there were 316 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere. Today there are 410 parts per million. This increase has caused the current global warming effect now being experienced worldwide. This concentration is projected to grow to approximately 550 parts per million by 2050 before current mitigation efforts take effect. We don’t know what it will be like
