WATCH | Scientists hope antacid could help relieve climate change Planetary Technologies ran its first ocean tests of its carbon capture technology in Halifax harbour this week (see photo above).īurt hopes the letter helps the public "build some confidence that what we're doing is … widely believed scientifically to be worth exploring." The letter was signed by a number of scientists from the Canadian firm Planetary Technologies, including its chief ocean scientist, Will Burt. "We do need to, as a collective community, get behind research needed to understand these issues, and it's pretty urgent," she said in an interview from the Canadian Coast Guard ship Tully off the coast of B.C., where she is doing some of that research.
Kate Moran, president and CEO of Ocean Networks Canada and a spokesperson for the scientists who wrote the letter, said more information is crucial for making policy decisions about ocean carbon capture. The problem? Even scientists know little about the effectiveness, risks or impacts of ocean carbon capture solutions. Its sheer size also means that ocean-based climate solutions can be scaled to significantly mitigate climate risk," they wrote in a letter posted on the web page of Ocean Visions, a non-profit umbrella group for universities and oceanographic institutions focused on ocean-climate restoration solutions. "The ocean's carbon content is 50 times larger than what is in the atmosphere. But last week, a few hundred scientists around the world argued that more attention should be paid to carbon capture in the ocean. Scientists have said we're poised to overshoot the 1.5 C warming target enshrined in the Paris Agreement, and that in order to return to 1.5 C by 2100, we would need to remove vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Ĭarbon capture from smokestacks or the air, using technology and tree planting, has received a lot of attention and funding. In the meantime, we think a road trip is order!ĭo you live in a Culver’s state or visit one during your travels? Tell us about it on Facebook or share a photo with us on Instagram or Twitter using #culvers.Dalhousie University researchers take measurements from a boat in Halifax Harbour, after Planetary Technologies added 'antacids' to the water to neutralize dissolved CO2 (a technology called ocean alkalinity enhancement), along with a dye that helps track the dispersion of the antacids. Culver’s is made up of independently owned franchises and this area may open up as a potential market in the future. We may not have any locations currently in your area, but don’t give up hope. Dig in to your favorite flavor in one of these states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee Northeast Planning to bask in the shade of a palm tree or spend the day at a balmy beach? The Southeastern United States has miles of coastline to enjoy, along with several Culver’s locations where you can grab a cone or cup of the Flavor of the Day. Visit us in these fine states for a bite to eat: Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming Southwestĭesert lands call for cool, refreshing desserts, don’t you think? If you reside in the Southwestern United States or take a trip this way soon, stop by these two states to grab a creamy, Classic Sundae to make your day extra sweet: Arizona and Texas Southeast While the Great Plains cover a broad range of flat land across the Western United States, you will be sure to find a Bacon Deluxe in the area to satisfy your appetite. If you find yourself driving through the area where Culver’s Midwestern hospitality and real Wisconsin Cheese Curds were born, you can visit a restaurant in the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin West
Just like the Great Lakes span the area as the largest freshwater source on the Earth, the Midwest boasts it is the region with the most Culver’s restaurants in the U.S. And if your state isn’t listed, never fear! Maybe there’s a road trip in your near future for a delicious ButterBurger®, or we may be expanding into new states in the future. Check out our list below to see which states you can find us in. One of the most common questions we get on the daily is, “Is there a Culver’s restaurant in my state?” Well we’re here to help you and your Fresh Frozen Custard loving friends out.
