A Sustainable New Material for Carbon Dioxide Capture
So far, the materials and processes involved in carbon capture and storage have been associated with significant negative side effects and high costs
Solving the Mystery of Carbon on Ocean Floor
The challenge with studying deep marine carbon is that it is a mixture of fresh material delivered from the surface and an aged component
Leftover Grain from Breweries Could Be Converted into Fuel for Homes
Breweries in the EU throw out around 3.4 million tons of unspent grain every year, weighing the equivalent of 500,000 elephants
Satellites Are Key to Monitoring Ocean Carbon
Our ability to predict future climate relies upon being able to monitor where our carbon emissions go
Study Reveals 'Radical' Wrinkle in Forming Complex Carbon Molecules in Space
Unique experiments at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source shine a light on a new pathway for carbon chemistry to evolve in space
Organic Carbon Hides in Sediments, Keeping Oxygen in Atmosphere
Knowing exactly how such carbon becomes locked away in rock and sediments could help explain why the mixture of gases in the atmosphere has remained stable for so long
Amount of Carbon Stored in Forests Reduced as Climate Warms
As temperatures increase, trees grow faster, but they also tend to die younger
How Mangroves Help Keep the Planet Cool
Coastal scientists have developed a new global framework to more accurately assess how mangroves along different types of coastlines store carbon in their soil
