Animated CO2 Map of the United States
Some researchers from the Purdue University have made up a project revealing the CO2 emissions over the United States. They made a video showing the “hottest” areas in which CO2 is produced by several sources: power plants, factories, vehicle traffic. Kevin Gurney, the leader in the project, told The New York Times: “The resulting database [...]
Atmospheric Carbon CapturE SystemS - CO2 collected in sponges
The ACCESS, as you can see in the title, was developed by Global Research Technologies in Tucson, Arizona. They made a sponge-based system that filters out CO2 from the air and releases clean oxygen.
The system has been made in a smaller-scale unit, that can momentarily capture only less than 100kg of CO2 per day, but [...]
New Invention: Bacteria Eating CO2 From The Atmosphere
A scientist who mapped his genome and the genetic diversity of the oceans said Thursday he is creating a life form that feeds on climate-ruining carbon dioxide to produce fuel.
Craig Venter (in the picture), a famous geneticist, announced his “fourth-generation fuel” project at an elite Technology, Entertainment and Design conference in Monterey, California. Between the [...]
New Carbon Collecting Car - Really That Green?
Georgia Institute of Technology has created a concept of a car in a pretty new polluting fashion: it uses petrol as a fuel, but it separates hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The hydrogen is used in a fuel cell, and the CO2 is collected and recycled.
Now, I know my website’s name is “greenoptimistic.com”, but this one [...]
