According to a new study, tropical forests recovering from logging are sources of carbon for years afterward, contrary to previous assumptions. Tropical forests that are recovering from having trees removed were thought to be carbon absorbers, as the new trees grow quickly. A new study, led by Imper...

Scientists improved CO2-to-CO conversion using a gold-based hybrid material with cucurbit[6]uril, enhancing efficiency by boosting CO2 concentration and overcoming binding energy limitations. The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO) through electrochemical reactions has the p...

However, Speeding the Transition Might Nearly Cancel the Effect First, the bad news: Nothing is free. Moving the world energy system away from fossil fuels and into renewable sources will generate carbon emissions by itself, as construction of wind turbines, solar panels, and other new infrastructur...

The Novel Form of Carbon Is Created Through the Heating of Fullerenes With Lithium Nitride The most recognized forms of carbon are graphite and diamond, however, there exist other unique nanoscale allotropes of carbon such as graphene and fullerenes. These are sp2 hybridized carbon structures with e...

Researchers have calculated the carbon footprint for the full life cycle of fertilizers, which are responsible for approximately five percent of total greenhouse gas emissions – the first time this has been accurately quantified – and found that carbon emissions could be reduced to one-fifth of curr...

“HemoCD-Twins,” a new antidote for CO and HCN poisoning, shows 85% survival in mice and promises to combat fire-related toxic gas poisoning effectively. Buildings across the globe are prone to catching fires in unfortunate situations. Other than the flames, the burning materials generate...

Scientists at PNNL are charting a profitable course for carbon capture through carbon upcycling, unlocking a crucial step in the decarbonization process and moving closer to achieving net zero emissions. The requirement for technology that can capture, eliminate, and recycle carbon dioxide grows mor...

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories Study Clay for Snatching Carbon Dioxide Directly From Air Although, the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide — a gas that is great at trapping heat, contributing to climate change — is almost d...

Turning Carbon Dioxide Into Medicine A joint effort in chemistry has resulted in an innovative method for utilizing carbon dioxide in a positive – even beneficial – manner: through electrosynthesis, it is integrated into a series of organic molecules that play a crucial role in the devel...

A new method for removing the greenhouse gas from the ocean could be far more efficient than existing systems for removing it from the air. As carbon dioxide continues to build up in the Earth’s atmosphere, research teams around the world have spent years seeking ways to remove the gas efficiently f...

Breakthrough Detection of Ion RRLs by TMRT For the first time ever, a research team from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully detected radio recombination lines (RRLs) of ions heavier than helium using the TianMa 65-m Radio Telescope (TMRT)...

A pilot project has estimated emissions and removals of carbon dioxide in individual nations using satellite measurements. A NASA Earth-observing satellite has helped researchers track carbon dioxide emissions for more than 100 countries around the world. The pilot project offers a powerful new look...

A quantum computing algorithm could identify better compounds for more efficient carbon capture. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases daily with no sign of stopping or slowing. Too much of civilization depends on the burning of fossil fuels, and even if we can develop a replaceme...

Revolutionizing Tree Carbon Mapping with AI and Satellite Imaging Using commercial, high-resolution satellite images and artificial intelligence, an international team including NASA scientists mapped almost 10 billion individual trees in Africa’s drylands in order to assess the amount of carbon sto...

A study led by UC Irvine found that forest fires in northern latitudes are the primary source. An international team of researchers, led by Earth system scientists at the University of California, Irvine, has reported that carbon dioxide emissions from wildfires have experienced a sharp increase to ...

The research will enable the direct capture of CO2 gas from industries that are challenging to decarbonize. According to recent research, it is estimated that approximately 0.5% of global carbon emissions could be captured through the normal crushing process of rocks that are widely used in construc...

Climate change may jeopardize forests’ carbon storage capacity and the effectiveness of carbon offset projects, according to a new study by University of Utah researchers. The study highlights the importance of updating carbon offset policies and mitigating climate change to protect forests an...

MIT engineers discover new carbonation pathways for creating more environmentally friendly concrete. Concrete’s carbon footprint could be reduced by 15% if sodium bicarbonate is introduced during the early stages of mixing, according to MIT researchers. The addition of the common household ing...

The 51-square kilometer (20-square-mile) pileup is an important yet poorly quantified part of the carbon cycle, scientists say. Throughout the Arctic, fallen trees make their way from forests to the ocean by way of rivers. Those logs can stack up as the river twists and turns, resulting in long-term...

Researchers Created Carbon-Negative Concrete That Cuts Emissions and Captures CO₂ While Maintaining Strength Washington State University researchers have developed a carbon-negative, eco-friendly concrete formula that is almost as strong as traditional concrete. In a proof-of-concept work, the resea...
