Buildings
This electric technology offers both heating and cooling
Heat pump
These two manufacturing industries made up the majority of global industrial emissions in 2020.
Cement, iron and steel
This technology currently accounts for 95% of all utility-scale energy storage in the United States.
Pumped storage hydropower (or pumped hydro)
This concept refers to farming in a responsible manner that minimizes soil, ecosystem impact and biodiversity
Regenerative agriculture
This component of a building can be subject to efficiency measures such as insulating roofs, walls, and floors
Envelope
The "Carbon Loophole"
This renewable energy resource along the U.S. West Coast has the potential to generate about 67% of the region's electricity needs—enough to power 23 million homes.
Wave energy
This is the agriculture sector's most prevalent GHG emission
Nitrous oxide
This building type accounts for the largest percentage of US electricity demand, at approximately 37%
Residential
This technology uses electricity to recycle scrap steel into new products.
Electric arc furnace
This technology produces electricity by using the water running through existing water pipelines, such as in a public water supply and delivery system.
Conduit hydropower (or conduit hydroelectricity)
This natural climate solution has the greatest climate mitigation potential in the US in the near term (by 2025)
Reforestation
Burning fossil fuels in buildings accounts for what percent of climate emissions in the U.S.?
10%
Non-combustion "process emissions" make up the majority of cement production emissions. Name that chemical process.
Calcination
This facility is being built off the coast of Newport, Oregon and will be the first grid-connected, open-ocean testing facility for marine energy technologies in the continental U.S.
PacWave
These two practices are being promoted by multiple carbon markets as ways to boost carbon soil sequestration
Cover crops and no till (or reduce till)
