Located 24 miles north of the California border at the northern edge of the city of Phoenix, the Fern Valley Interchange project replaced the previous I-5 interchange with Fern Valley Road with a diverging diamond interchange, the first of its kind in the state. Funding sources for the $72 million project included a commitment of $6.8 million from the City of Phoenix through an interchange development charge, a form of value capture (development impact fee).
The $75 million Woodburn Interchange and Transit Facility Project improves traffic flow, congestion and safety conditions at the intersection of I-5 with OR 214 and OR 219 in Woodburn, Oregon, 30 miles south of Portland. The City of Woodburn contributed $8 million generated from value capture development impact fees related to the project.
Value capture strategies can be used to help pay for roadway and transit improvements by leveraging localized benefits. While more common with transit projects, value capture techniques may also be used with highway improvements, as is the case with the San Joaquin Toll Road in southern California and E-470 outside Denver, Colorado. Most value capture revenue is generated at the state or local level. The FHWA Center for Innovative Finance Support encourages state and local jurisdictions to look for new revenue sources to address funding shortfalls and is available to provide technical assistance in these areas.
In addition to value capture mechanisms, this section of the Center for Innovative Finance Support also provides information on other important sources of Federal state and local revenue to support transportation investment needs, including motor fuel taxes, vehicle-related fees, and local option taxes.

Today, CCS projects are storing almost 45 million tons of CO2 every year, which is about the amount of CO2 emissions created by 10 million passenger cars. Capture generally takes place at large stationary sources of CO2, like power plants or industrial plants that make cement, steel, and chemicals. Most current carbon capture projects use a liquid to chemically remove the CO2 before it goes out the smokestack, but several new types of capture processes are under development.
The captured CO2 gas is then compressed so it becomes liquid-like and transported to a storage site, generally through a pipeline. Ship transport is more expensive than using pipelines, but it is being considered in both Europe and Japan. Once at the storage site, the CO2 is pumped more than 2,500 feet down wells into geological formations like used-up oil and gas reservoirs, as well as formations that contain unusable, salty water.
I would like to quickly capture an idea without any overhead. That means, I do not want to think about a title or so, just key in a snippet. This note should go either to root or a dedicated folder. At home on the PC, I could add Title and any structural information.
Do you have any hint/workflow to use Obsidian on my mobile that way?
(My logic: I intend for my mobile vault to be pretty much just a way to capture thoughts, and maybe some task lists that I can carry around more easily/without the distractions my laptop brings with it. My laptop has my main vault, and many sources of distraction/procrastination.)
A CCUS application consists of three stages: capture, transport and storage (or usage) of CO2. The main methods for capturing CO2 are: post-combustion; pre-combustion; and oxy-fuel combustion. Post-combustion technology separates CO2 from the flue gas, by using a chemical solvent for instance, after the fuel is burnt. Pre-combustion methods involve converting the fuel into a gas mixture consisting of hydrogen and CO2 before it is burnt. Once the CO2 is separated, the remaining hydrogen-rich mixture can be used as fuel. Finally, oxy-fuel technology involves burning a fuel with almost pure oxygen to produce CO2 and steam, with the released CO2 subsequently captured.
Currently operational facilities fitted with CCUS can capture around 90% of the CO2 present in flue gas. It is technologically possible to achieve higher capture rates, and research is ongoing to reduce the costs of doing so. CO2 can also be captured directly from the atmosphere by drawing in air using fans and passing it through an environment consisting of solid sorbents or liquid solvents. This practice is more energy intensive and therefore more expensive as CO2 has a much lower concentration in the atmosphere than in flue gas.
Once the CO2 has been captured, it is compressed into a liquid state and transported by pipeline, ship, rail or road tanker. CO2 can then be injected into deep geological formations, usually at depths of 1 km or more, to be permanently stored in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, coalbeds or deep saline aquifers, where the geology is suitable. Evidence suggests there is more underground storage available globally than is actually needed to meet climate targets and almost every high-emitting nation has already demonstrated having its own substantial storage resource.
An alternative to permanent storage is to use the captured CO2 as an input for commercial products and services, but the climate implications of this are not clear-cut and require careful examination (discussed further below).
The cost of CCUS will continue to fall as the market expands and technologies develop. For example, the cost of CO2 capture in power generation reduced by 35% from the first to the second large-scale CCUS facility in that sector. Costs also need to be assessed in terms of wider economic benefits. Notably, CCUS can allow the continued operation of energy-intensive industries in a net zero-compliant way, in turn preventing the many jobs and assets that they support from becoming stranded.
When payment is captured, your customer is charged. By default, credit card payments and some additional methods of payment are captured automatically, but if it suits your business better, then you can change your store setting to capture payments manually.
Additional payment methods are processed differently than credit cards, but many providers support manual, as well as automatic, payment capture. If your store is set up to capture payments manually, but you add an additional payment provider that doesn't support manual payments, then payments will be captured automatically, not manually, on orders processed by that provider.
If you use Shopify Payments, another credit card payment provider, or providers for additional payment methods, then you need to decide how to capture payment from your customers. Payments can be captured in the following ways:
The authorization period will end after a certain amount of time. The length of the authorization period depends on your credit card payment provider. You need to capture a payment within the authorization period to collect money for your order.
When you capture a payment made in a foreign currency, the amount is converted using the current conversion rate and not the rate at the time of authorization. The amount that is authorized is the maximum amount that you can capture. Manually capturing a credit card payment creates a time gap between when the credit card was authorized and when the payment is captured. This means that you might lose money depending on currency fluctuations.
If you have a payment that wasn't captured within seven days and you don't want to incur this fee, then cancel the order and create a new one. The authorization expiry date is displayed on the Orders page.
Automatic payment capture at checkout is activated by default for new stores. If you are capturing payment manually but want to change the setting for your store, then you can activate automatic payment capture.
When automatic payment capture at checkout is activated, customers that pay with credit cards are automatically charged at the time of sale, and customers that pay with some additional payment methods are charged when the provider completes processing.
When automatic payment capture at fulfillment is activated, the payment for the order is Authorized at checkout. Payment is captured automatically when the entire order is fulfilled within the authorization period. Automatic capture at fulfillment only applies to orders placed after the feature is activated. Any orders that are already in progress won't have automatic capture at fulfillment. If you need to capture payment before the authorization expires or at an earlier time, then you can capture the payment manually.
When manual payment capture is activated, customers that pay for orders in your online store with credit cards and some additional payment methods aren't automatically charged at the time of sale. To get paid, you need to capture payment manually within the authorization period.
You can manually capture the full amount for the order, or a partial payment. You can capture multiple partial payments when you use a third-party payment provider that supports that functionality, or you're on Shopify Plus.
