Plastic-munching bacteria capable of breaking down plastic waste in a matter of hours have attracted much attention lately as a microscopic solution to the world's growing plastic problem.
A startup called CarbiCrete has been developing one promising solution: carbon-negative concrete.If a typical plant adopts its technology - 20,000 tons of CO2 abated and 4,400 cubic meters of water saved.
A shift to building cities out of wood could avoid more than 100 billion tons of CO2 emissions, according to a new study.
Airlines could save fuel and reduce emissions on transatlantic flights by hitching a better ride on the jet stream, new research has shown. This would reduce CO2 emissions across the winter period by 6.7 million kg.
An international team of researchers has found that in the first six months of this year, 8.8 percent less carbon dioxide was emitted than in the same period in 2019 - a total decrease of 1551 million tonnes.
US researchers have made a key advance in the green chemistry pursuit of converting the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into reusable forms of carbon via electrochemical reduction.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, scientists have predicted that global carbon dioxide emissions may drop by more than 5 percent in 2020—in what would be the largest fall since the end of the Second World War.
Electric cars absolutely do produce less CO2 than gas guzzlers, a new study has confirmed - countering claims that carbon emissions from the manufacture of electric cars and the production of electricity outweighed the savings on the road.
A chemistry professor has just found a way to trigger the process of photosynthesis in a synthetic material, turning greenhouse gases into clean air and producing energy all at the same time.
A deal to attempt to limit the rise in global temperatures to less than 2C has been agreed at the climate change summit in Paris.
An international research team reports that the rapid increase in global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels has slowed in the past two years, underlining the need for action to permanently lower emissions.
