Carbon emissions
UCLA to build world’s largest ocean-based carbon removal plant
It will be able to remove 10 metric tons of CO2 and produce 300 kg of hydrogen daily.
New microwave reactor can cool down industry’s energy usage
The system uses microwaves to reduce industrial heat and carbon emissions.
Global warming could surge the CO2 emissions from soil microbes
Microbial CO2 emissions in the polar regions will increase twice as much as in the rest of the world.
New catalysts could be key for the hydrogen economy
Inexpensive catalyst uses energy from light to turn ammonia into hydrogen fuel.
Breakthrough in estimating fossil fuel CO2 emissions
A major breakthrough - detecting changes in fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions more quickly and frequently.
Electric Vehicles Provide Lower Carbon Emissions Through Additional Channels
Electric vehicles dominate when indirect supply chain emissions are accounted for.
Carbon beneficial forest management using innovative wood
Innovative wood use can enable carbon-beneficial forest management in California
Researchers reused concrete to build a footbridge
Building out of concrete but without pouring concrete.
Wild pigs release the same emissions as 1 million cars each year
Assessing the threat of invasive species is an important tool for reducing carbon emissions.
Microbial seasonality in the soil leads to more carbon emissions
Modeling shows fluctuating soil microbial populations impact how much carbon is released from soil.
First synthetic membrane to separate crude oil and crude oil fractions
New membrane could cut emissions and energy use in oil refining.
Mountain streams emit a surprising amount of CO2
For the first time, an EPFL-led team of scientists has measured the total amount of CO2 emissions from mountain streams worldwide. This research builds on findings issued in February 2019 and shows how important it is to include mountain streams in assessments of the global carbon cycle.
