A chemical element so visually striking that it was named for a goddess shows a “Goldilocks” level of reactivity – neither too much nor too…
Peatlands experience greater impacts from drought than previously anticipated, raising concerns due to their crucial role in combating climate change. Prolonged drought conditions significantly reduce…
To mitigate global warming, significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are essential. This includes phasing out fossil fuels and embracing energy-efficient technologies. However, simply cutting…
The latest carbon budget report from the Global Carbon Project reveals that global CO2 emissions remain significantly higher than the reductions required to achieve our…
Climate change is impacting U.S. forests, especially in the Western regions, leading to decreased tree growth and challenging their ability to act as carbon sinks….
A massive study sharpens the outlook on greenhouse gases and climate. A massive new review of ancient atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and corresponding temperatures lays…
Carbon dioxide has not been as high as today’s concentrations in 14 million years thanks to fossil fuel emissions now warming the planet. Today atmospheric…
Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s research on magnesium oxide for carbon capture reveals a slowing absorption rate over time due to surface layer formation, posing challenges…
Research reveals that oceans store 20% more carbon dioxide than previously estimated, primarily through plankton transporting carbon to the seabed. This new understanding, however, doesn’t…
New study shows potency of the greenhouse gas increases with increased concentrations. A team of scientists found that carbon dioxide becomes a more potent greenhouse…
Noya has developed low-power, modular units that can be combined to create facilities for removing millions of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. In order…
The approach directly converts the greenhouse gas into formate, a solid fuel that can be stored indefinitely and could be used to heat homes or…
Polyester ranks as the world’s second most used textile, however, it is an environmental menace, especially because most of it never gets recycled. The fabric,…
A University of Oxford study reveals rock weathering can be a major CO2 source, rivaling volcanic emissions. This insight is crucial for future carbon budget…
Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) is an encouraging strategy for mitigating climate change. This method involves sequestering CO2 before it can enter the atmosphere, but it…
The Maillard reaction, known for its role in food browning, is also likely happening on the ocean floor, contributing to life on Earth by preserving…
For a long time, geoscientists believed that water, combined with shallow magma in the Earth’s crust, was the primary cause of volcanic eruptions. However, thanks…
