Discovery delivers high starch content, virtually no methane emissions Rice serves as the staple food for more than half of the world’s population, but it’s also the one of the l... Read more
The technologists’ dream of remaking the planet to live with our carbon emissions is here. How do we stop one panicked country from deciding it’s time to press the button? Here... Read more
An increase in human-made carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could initiate a chain reaction between plants and microorganisms that would unsettle one of the largest carbon reservoirs on the p... Read more
The solution to global warming, Olaf Schuiling says, lies beneath our feet. For Dr. Schuiling, a retired geochemist, climate salvation would come in the form of olivine, a green-tinted miner... Read more
Analysis of material’s molecular structure leads to a new formula that could cut greenhouse-gas emissions Concrete is the world’s most-used construction material, and a leading contrib... Read more
World leaders face multiple barriers in their efforts to reach agreement on greenhouse gas emission policies. And, according to Arizona State University researchers, without globally consist... Read more
Healthier diets and reducing food waste are part of a combination of solutions needed to ensure food security and avoid dangerous climate change, say the team behind a new study. A new study... Read more
The average temperature on Earth has barely risen over the past 16 years. ETH researchers have now found out why. And they believe that global warming is likely to continue again soon. Globa... Read more
This technology can simultaneously remove impurities and produce clean gas for heat and power generation from waste biomass The process of burning fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and na... Read more
A sponge-like plastic that sops up the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) might ease our transition away from polluting fossil fuels and toward new energy sources, such as hydrogen. The mat... Read more
Using waste carbon dioxide and easily obtained machined parts, this approach offers a promising route to a renewable fuel Research to curb global warming caused by rising levels of atmospher... Read more
Housing is the easiest sector to change if we are to reach the climate targets. By 2050, 7 million people will live in Norway instead of the 5 million that live here today. In spite of this... Read more
Climate change is having an impact in every ecosystem, from equator to pole and from ocean to mountain. “THE four horsemen of the apocalypse”: that was the disparaging appraisal by Ric... Read more
As a range of climate change mitigation scenarios are discussed, Univ. of Washington researchers have found that the injection of sulfate particles into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight an... Read more
“Could potentially cut the cost of capturing carbon dioxide by as much as 1000 times.” Researchers in Japan have engineered a membrane with advanced features capable of removing... Read more
