The rate at which icebergs drift and disintegrate influences the risk of collisions with high-latitude hydrocarbon infrastructure and shipping1, the extent of zones of nutrient-enhanced carbon sequestration2,3, and the interpretation of palaeoclimate indicators such as ice-rafted debris4.
China's lack of hydrocarbon infrastructure positions it to make the leap more quickly than any other market.
According to the IEA report, the world had just five years to retool the world's hydrocarbon-based infrastructure to avoid missing emission targets.
In particular, MIC is known to cause considerable damage to hydrocarbon fuel infrastructure including production, transportation, and storage systems, often times with catastrophic environmental contamination results.

Of the 17 extractive projects - hydrocarbons, mining and infrastructure - that have been subject to prior consultation to date, not one of them has been opposed by indigenous representatives".
We computed the amount of infrastructure, hydrocarbon extraction fields and population in areas of permafrost thaw and hazard zones (high, moderate and low in Ic) using ArcGIS 10.3.
The present paper intends to cover the most relevant catalytic strategies designed today for the conversion of these molecules into advanced biofuels (e.g. higher alcohols, liquid hydrocarbon fuels) which are fully compatible with the existing hydrocarbons-based transportation infrastructure.
Unfortunately, emerging markets are busy locking themselves into hydrocarbon-intensive technologies and infrastructure, too.
