EU customers can use new crude oil contract opportunities to drive emissions reductions from suppliers using methane leak reductions, flaring reductions, and increased renewable power use at wells. On the other hand, crudes like Saudi Arab Light might be a good substitute for Urals, and emissions could be lower. Brent emissions are quite high, as mature fields have high water and gas ratios that necessitate additional processing. Replacing Urals with European barrels like North Sea Brent could increase emissions. Source: Calculated with Stanford’s OPGEE Model, part of RMI’s OCI+ tool In this calculation, the equivalency is based on a 20-year global warming potential (GWP). ![]() Note: Emissions intensity in CO 2 equivalent (CO 2e) represents all greenhouse gas emissions (CO 2, methane, etc.) as an equivalent mass of CO 2 emissions. US WTI (Eagle Ford Black Oil as Assay Proxy)Įxhibit 2: Supply chain emissions for Russian Urals crude and chemically similar crude oils Upstream Emissions Intensity (kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent) Unfortunately, the oil market is not climate-differentiated - emissions intensity is not fully reflected in common crude oil properties or prices. Some oil and gas are burned or directly released in the oil supply chain to make oil products like gasoline and jet fuel. The properties of oil gravity and sulfur content (pictured above) are not clearly correlated with a crude stream’s life-cycle GHGs. The GHG emissions intensity of refining oil varies significantly based on how the crude oil was produced and the specific processes used at a refinery. Source: US Energy Information Administration Among the top 10 most used crude oils, Urals crude, which comes from Russia’s oil fields in Western Siberia, is the most produced crude stream at nearly 10 mbd and has the highest upstream (oil well) CO 2 intensity.Įxhibit 1: Key properties of crude oils by source Half of Russia’s crude oil sales to the EU are in the form of Urals crude with roughly average properties (see Exhibit 1), while the other half are unspecified but are less dense and lower in sulfur. The most common defining properties affecting refinery operations are sulfur content and API gravity, or similar measurements of crude oil density. Refineries are specifically designed to process a narrow range of crude streams based on various characteristics. Intermission: Matching Low-Emissions Crude to the Right RefineriesĮurope’s primary challenge is replacing Russian oil with sources that are chemically similar and competitively priced, and that also provide an opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint of fossil fuel supplies. The sanctions target a 90 percent reduction in Russian oil imports by year-end through the immediate phaseout of seaborne oil (nearly two-thirds of EU’s Russian imports) and eventual phaseouts of oil by pipeline, although the timing for the latter remains undetermined. Russia accounted for over 25 percent of 2021 EU oil imports across 2.2 million barrels per day (mbd) of crude and 1.2 mbd of refined products. The EU adopted broad sanctions on Russian oil that take effect by the end of 2022. Act 1: Disrupting 25 Percent of the EU Crude Oil Status Quo More climate-conscious decisions by EU refineries can lead the way. Governments and oil executives must support full supply-chain emissions visibility through these shifts, thinking through the lens of greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity to maximize financial and climate benefits. The global oil industry will need to retool to meet this new landscape and can profitably reduce emissions in the process. ![]() An analysis of the viable replacements for Russian oil imports shows that lower-emissions alternatives are available to the EU, but making the switch will not be as simple as dropping in one crude oil stream to replace another. Until then, Europe’s phaseout of Russian oil supply introduces opportunities to reduce supply-side emissions and shift oil prices closer to their true climate cost. Europe needs to accelerate the build-out of its clean energy infrastructure to reduce oil demand. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the first episode, Lain’s father says “You’re in junior high now. A person’s online presence and awareness of the on-goings of the internet have become a large factor of their social standing in the modern world. This is something we see very often on the internet nowadays, people who use social media are up-to-date with all the little trends and social happenings while people who do not are left out of the loop. By learning to utilize the Wired, Lain has become more socially savvy, more connected to everyone else. She ultimately becomes more knowledgeable of the Wired than any other character in the show. As the series continues and Lain becomes more adept at using the Wired as a means of communication, she is shown to be both bolder and more social. In a sense, Lain is being left out because of her ignorance concerning digital communication. Lain is occasionally teased by some of Alice’s friends for being ignorant about the on-goings of the Wired and told by her father that she ought to learn how to use the Wired to keep in touch with other people. She spends a lot of time keeping to herself and seldom talks to anyone outside of her family except a girl in her class named Alice. Sure, the formatting of the Wired may not look the same and perhaps might not function in exactly the same way, but the parallels are clearly there.Īt the beginning of the show, Lain was shown to be reclusive and not at all knowledgeable about the Wired. which people use to share their thoughts and communicate with each other. This is a strikingly reflective of how people utilize digital communication what with all the forms of social media such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. People use the Wired to vent their feelings, or spread rumors. Gossip on the Wired spills into the real world, often becoming part of casual conversation. While they are in class and cannot speak with one another, the titular character Lain and her friends communicate with each other using their digital devices. This allows people to communicate with one another or search through the Wired from virtually anywhere and at any time. Through the Wired, people are able to communicate with each other through computers (called Navi), or other digital devices, some eerily similar to modern smartphones. One recurring theme in Serial Experiments Lain is connectivity through the internet, or as it is called in the show, the Wired. In fact, given how prevalent digital communication is in modern life, the series may be more relevant than ever. ![]() Yet its themes concerning communication and identity through digital interface remain as potent as they were when the show was first aired. A time when computers were still clunky and intimidating, and things like iPhones were at most a distant daydream of a concept. The show was made in a time when the internet was still in its early stages, and technology was a far cry from what it is today. It is also an interesting example of how a piece of art can be reflective of modern trends and issues in spite of its age. The show’s titular character, Lain Iwakura ![]() It is a milestone of the medium, and a consummate work of science fiction. The series was so well regarded that in 2012 Funimation released a lavish Blu-ray/ DVD special edition which included a book of concept art and another of colored illustrations, something that the company had not done for any of its previous Geneon acquisitions. The show has long since been a critical darling, winning an Excellence Prize in the 1998 Japan Media Arts Festival among other accolades, and is also a fan favorite among the intellectual crowd. It remains among the most distinctive anime TV series of the late 90’s with its heavily experimental style, deliberately confusing narrative, and existential themes.

The next seven years were lost in the fog of a disastrous second marriage, more drinking and a pile of forgettable short comedies and second-banana parts.Įleanor Norris saved his life, though, when she became the third Mrs. ![]() Despite the money he made for MGM, in 1933, Louis B. He behaved erratically his absences delayed filming his first marriage deteriorated. MGM turned him into a scripted comic, and he disliked these pictures because they came at the expense of comedy and at the promotion of farce.Īs Eleanor Keaton and Jeffrey Vance point out in “Buster Keaton Remembered,” he disdained farce “because it is based on simple misunderstanding or mistaken identity, which in a legitimate story would be quickly resolved.” He responded to this misuse of his talent as his father had handled his own distinct problems, by drinking. In his early films, Keaton was a controlled improviser. Many of the half a dozen MGM films that Keaton made in the 1930s were his greatest commercial successes, but the studio clearly didn’t know how to transfer the silent specialness of Keaton to talkies. Nothing was as articulate as his carefully planned pratfalls.Īlthough Keaton worked almost steadily until his death in 1968, none of his performances in those ensuing 40 years match the incandescence of his early work. The problem for Keaton after the silent era was not his voice, but rather the studios’ insistence that virtually every second of talkies have somebody saying something, regardless of whether it advanced the story. The advent of talking pictures in 1927 ruined the careers of many actors who looked great mouthing dialogue but had terrible delivery or accents. (Keaton felt this earned the biggest laugh of all his gags.) There was, in fact, no use for dialogue in any of the 45 two-reel and feature silent films he made starting with “The Butcher Boy” in 1917 and ending with “Steamboat Bill, Jr.” in 1928. In that last story, for instance, the scene fades, followed by a card that reads, “Years later,” and then Keaton emerges from the hole, dressed in Oriental clothes, followed by his Chinese wife and two children. ![]() What needs to be said as Keaton opens a newspaper that unfolds and unfolds until it is the size of a bed sheet and envelops him in “The High Sign,” or as he spills a bottle of glue on his counter in “The Haunted House,” or as he does a swan dive, in “Hard Luck,” into the cement next to the pool, leaving a large hole? The visual punch lines speak for themselves. Whether it was Harold Lloyd dangling from a clock, or Charlie Chaplin spinning on roller skates, or Lillian Gish on an ice floe, actors soon developed an eloquence that needed no words, and few matched the majestically stony countenance of Buster Keaton.

In the very long range future, we want to open our own clinics so we can offer visits for things that really have to be in person. That's absolutely on the roadmap, probably later this year, or very early. And what about queer family planning services? Is that stuff going to be rolled out? They’ll be able to add also skin and hair specific supplements and medications, because as you know, there can be skin and hair complications from hormones, and sometimes they can make your skin go crazy. Folks can choose estrogen, they can add Spiro, they can add antiandrogens, progesterone, and more. It is already part of the basic HRT package. What medications are being covered now and what is being taken into consideration for future rollouts? I know a lot of queer folks take medications that are common within the trans community, but are not specifically for the trans community-like Sprionolactone, which is prescribed for acne, hypertension, and hormone-blocking. That did not line up 100%, but we got as close as we could. There are certain states that will license our clinicians more quickly, and the target states were based on where we saw the greatest need. We’re starting in 10 to 12 states, and then it'll roll out across the country over the course of the next six or seven months. So as hard as it is, we have also been blessed with enormous numbers of people who have stepped forward to say they are really eager to be part of this service. The queer community has a lot of caregivers, and a lot of people who have been waiting for something like this. The patient should be in control, and the clinician’s job is to support them by providing services that enable them to achieve their goals for care. ![]() Our ethos is also different from sort of traditional medical ethos-we’re not just going from patient centric, we're actually going for patient control. ![]() ![]() While Clive will gladly throw himself into any danger, Joshua quails at the sight of a carrot on his dinner plate.
