Construction materials and household items form long-term carbon sink
Dec 23, 2024 (SPX)
"We have accumulated more carbon in human-made stuff on the planet than there is carbon in the natural world, but we completely overlook it, and those stocks ge...
Scientists create aligned nanotubes using tungsten disulfide
Dec 16, 2024 (SPX)
Nanotubes are cylindrical structures formed by rolling two-dimensional sheets of atoms into nanoscale tubes, which convert a flat material into a one-dimensiona...
Tourism among leading contributors to global carbon emissions
Dec 11, 2024 (SPX)
Associate Professor Ya-Yen Sun of UQ's Business School highlighted that the surge in travel demand has pushed tourism's carbon emissions to represent 9% of glob...
Tiny poops in the ocean may help solve the carbon problem
Dec 11, 2024 (SPX)
The technique harnesses the animals' ravenous appetites to essentially accelerate the ocean's natural cycle for removing carbon from the atmosphere, which is kn...
Plans to stabilise Earth's climate rely on emerging carbon removal technology
Dec 09, 2024 (SPX)
It's becoming increasingly clear that limiting global warming to 1.5 C will require much more than existing efforts to reduce emissions and decarbonise industry...
Roof greening in Chinese cities offers significant carbon sink potential
Dec 08, 2024 (SPX)
Fertile lands in China are largely occupied by agricultural or natural vegetation, making additional land-based carbon sinks difficult to establish. Similarly, ...
Ocean density impacts carbon capture efficiency in plankton
Dec 06, 2024 (SPX)
Led by Dr. Stergios Zarkogiannis from the University of Oxford's Department of Earth Sciences, the research reveals that changes in ocean density - not just che...
Planet and Laconic collaborate to advance AI-driven forest carbon monitoring for carbon credit markets
Dec 06, 2024 (SPX)
Under the three-year deal, Laconic will utilize Planet's 3-meter Forest Carbon Monitoring product alongside its 30-meter counterpart. These tools will feed into...
UAF develops advanced Seaglider sensors to track ocean carbon dioxide and methane
Nov 27, 2024 (SPX)
Over six years, UAF's International Arctic Research Center (IARC) and private-sector collaborators developed a way to integrate a carbon dioxide sensor into an ...
World approves UN rules for carbon trading between nations at COP29
Nov 23, 2024 (AFP)
This decision, taken during extra time at the COP29 conference, is a major step forward in a debate that has dragged through climate talks for years, and diplom...
Reality check on technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the air
Nov 21, 2024 (SPX)
To do so, the world must reduce the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and strategies for achieving levels that will "stabilize the climate" have bee...
Breakthrough idea for enhanced CCU tech inspired by Earth's Carbon Cycle
Nov 16, 2024 (SPX)
The Earth's inorganic carbon cycle functions by absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through mineral weathering, forming carbonates that are eventually re...
Breakthrough in capturing 'hot' CO2 from industrial exhaust
Nov 15, 2024 (SPX)
