On a quiet road surrounded by green pastures, cows bathing in shallow ponds and horsesâ manes blowing in the wind, a group of five people named Tom, Irma, Maricruz, Caroline and Abraham kneel beside what looks like small mounds of dirt.
These mounds of dirt are annual beds â plants that complete their life cycle within one growing season â designed to sequester carbon. Tom Benevento, a member of the team of five, explained that they put cover crops of rye and clover into these beds to draw down carbon immediately as the crops improve the soil. The beds will act as âcarbon-capturing machines.â Theyâll draw carbon, because their biomass is made of it, and pull it down into the ground. This process of building more carbon into the soil will cause trees to resprout continuously.
The natural gas storage report from the EIA for the week ending April 9th indicated that the amount of natural gas held in underground storage in the US rose by 61 billion cubic feet to 1,845 billion cubic feet by the end of the week, which left our gas supplies 242 billion cubic feet, or 11.6% below the 2,087 billion cubic feet that were in storage on April 9th of last year, but now 11 billion cubic feet, or 0.6% above the five-year average of 1,834 billion cubic feet of natural gas that have been in storage as of the 9th of April in recent years..the 61 billion cubic feet that were added to US natural gas storage this week was less than the average forecast of a 65 billion cubic foot addition from an S&P Global Platts survey of analysts, and was also less than the 68 billion cubic feet added to natural gas storage during the corresponding week of 2020, but it far surpassed the average addition of 26 billion cubic feet of natural gas that have typically been injected into natural ga
