Study Finds Solution for Methane-Producing Cow Burps
Earlier this year, it has almost been said that cow burps are the root of all evil regarding global warming, the emissions of methane gases and, overall, an enemy of our humble existence on this planet. Well, recent "discoveries" reveal the fact that a well-managed cow could actually help reduce methane emissions.
Reducing Coal CO2 Emissions with Chilled-Ammonia Technology
The coal based power plant located in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin in Kenosha County called Pleasant Prairie Power Plant has generated approximately 1,226 MW of electricity in 2006, being one of the largest generating stations in Wisconsin.
Converting Deserts Into Forests Would Stop Global Warming
Researcher Leonard Ornstein has come up with a simple plan to stop global warming. He proposes that turning Sahara and the Australian outback into vast, shady forests, could draw down about 8 billion tons of carbon a year, nearly as much as people emit from burning forests and fossil fuels today.
A Cleaner And More Efficient Way to Capture Carbon Dioxide
The process of separating CO2 from its source is called capturing (CO2). The new method discovered by the scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory might replace all the existing Carbon Dioxide capturing devices and improve a lot their performance and stability.
CO2-Capturing Molecule Discovered by Accident
Accidental discoveries have always been the most groundbreaking discoveries in the entire history of science, because magnificent things were found without us thinking of them, not taking the usual way to see things, and therefore unleashing new possibilities.
Adding Lime in Seawater Could Reduce Atmospheric CO2
Some people check every possibility to reduce pollution, to make us live our lives in a clean and healthy environment. At a press conference about climate change solutions in Manchester, Tim Kruger, a former management consultant, announced that lime and salt water could stop or reverse CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere.
New Metal Compound Capturing CO2 More Efficiently
Capturing CO2 is one of the many tasks trees have been doing for ages. Now, though, with all the CO2 being emitted into the atmosphere and the trees being cut off, the existing forests are not able to keep up with the ongoing pollution.
Incredible Synthetic Tree for CO2 Sequestration
Columbia University has announced the development of a structure that could capture carbon 1,000 times faster than a real tree. Klaus Lackner said, as the "tree" could be used for capturing carbon which has been already emitted into the air by car gasoline or airplain fuel.
Trains Polluting More Than Airplanes in the U.S.?
A recent study reveals shocking figures telling that, basically, traveling by train pollutes the environment more than traveling by airplane. How can that be?
Greenhouse Gas 4,800x More Potent Than CO2 Thought Safe
In the late 1980s, during the Montreal Protocol that set rules for the chlorofluorocarbon emissions, methyl bromide was about to become a target, to reduce it for saving the ozone layer. So, from a poplar compound used in agriculture, it became an "outlaw".
