Latest News on CO2

At his inaugural keynote of the QCON London conference, Leslie Miley - Technical Advisor for the CTO at Microsoft, spoke about AI Bias and Sustainability. How the march towards transformative technologies, like large-scale AI and even crypto, has an inherent cost in the increased CO2 that comes with deployment at...

Robust populations of just nine species, such as sea otters or gray wolves, or genera, including whales, could drastically reduce carbon. DepositPhotosGray wolves, elephants, wildebeests, and sea otters are a few of the species that can help keep global warming below 1.5 degrees C. The post How conserving wild beasts...

Ventilation systems are one of the most effective strategies to reduce the risk of viral infection transmission in buildings. However, insufficient ventilation rates in crowded spaces, such as schools, would lead to high risks of infection transmission. On the other hand, excessive ventilation rates might significantly increase cooling energy consumption....

The material can also convert the greenhouse gas into baking soda for ocean storage...

Coordination polymers of transition metal ions are fascinating and important to coordination chemistry. One of the ligands known to form particularly interesting coordination polymers is 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-bipyrazole (Me4bpzH2). Group 11 metal(I) ion coordination polymers, other than those of copper(I), are relatively easy to handle because of their low reactivity towards dioxygen...

Protium explores the importance of hydrogen safety. The piece begins with a comment on hydrogen’s role in the energy transition. The post The importance of hydrogen safety in the energy transition appeared first on Open Access Government....

The European Commission has laid out another piece of its Circular Economy Action Plan today — adopting a proposal to set common EU rules which are intended to make it easier for consumers to get faulty products repaired. The “right to repair” measures are aimed at reducing e-waste by preventing...

MgFe-layered double hydroxides (LDH) were widely used as catalysts for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis to produce light olefins, in which the state of Fe-species may affect the resulting catalytic active sites. Herein, the typical MgFe-LDH was hydrothermally synthesized and the obtained MgFe-LDH was pretreated with H2 at different temperatures to reveal the...

The shipping industry has reached a higher level of maturity in terms of its knowledge and awareness of decarbonization challenges. Carbon-free or carbon-neutralized green fuel, such as green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green methanol, are being widely discussed. However, little attention has paid to the green fuel pathway from renewable...

A solar-powered multi-organism symbiont system based on energy transfer is constructed to synthesize polypeptides from CO2 and N2....

Transition metal-catalysed homogeneous hydrogenation of CO2 to formate or formic acid has emerged as an appealing strategy for the reduction of CO2 into value-added chemicals. Since the state-of-the-art catalysts in this realm are primarily based on expensive precious metals and require demanding reaction conditions, the design and development of economically...
