An efficient and multipurpose chemical, methanol is used as fuel for producing an unlimited number of products. By contrast, carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that is regarded as an undesirable byproduct resulting from several industrial processes.
When people were children in their times, they would have more likely scoured open fields searching for bumble bees. But today, it is relatively harder for children to spot these insects because they are considerably declining in Europe and North America.
Panasonic Corporation has achieved the world's highest energy conversion efficiency of 16.09% for a perovskite solar module (Aperture area 802 cm2: 30 cm long x 30 cm wide x 2 mm thick) by developing lightweight technology using a glass substrate and a large-area coating method based on inkjet printing.
DMC Biotechnologies has successfully produced its lead product, L-alanine at pilot scale. Commercial key performance metrics were achieved and performance from the bench scale was also demonstrated at 3m3scale fermentation and for each of the downstream purification unit operations.
According to new research published in Science Advances, the observations claim that between 1990 and 2013 the “globally integrated ocean kinetic energy” demonstrated an increase of around 15%.

It won't tackle global carbon emissions yet, but a new technology from Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, has found a way to pull carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere and put it into beer and other beverages.
Reflecting on a debate that went on for many years, Penn State scientists have reported that wooden shipping pallets are slightly more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to plastic-based ones.
Aquatic life is under significant threat due to oil. Now, inspired by nature, scientists at the University of Bonn, the RWTH Aachen University, and the Heimbach-GmbH have created a new, eco-friendly technology to remove such kinds of contamination.
According to researchers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the change in winter weather patterns in northern Eurasia and Europe is linked to reduced air pollution.
According to a new collaborative study conducted by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and University of Guelph, the melting of the permafrost could throw more CO2 and methane into the atmosphere.

We are building the evidence base that proves government must act on air quality says British Safety Council. An app developed by King College London as part of the British Safety Council’s Time to Breathe campaign is building on a growing evidence base that proves outdoor workers are exposed to air pollution well above the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) recommended limits.
