The goal of the NECOC (NEgative Carbon dioxide to Carbon) research project carried out at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is to construct a special test facility for actively bringing down atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
There have been changes in the atmospheric circulation in the Southern Hemisphere caused by the same chemicals that destroy the ozone layer that protects the Earth.
Satellite data collected from a shipping lane in the south Atlantic revealed that the ships alter clouds to block an additional 2 W of solar energy, on average, from reaching each square meter of the surface of the ocean close to the shipping lane.
At the University of Bristol, a group of researchers has designed a new photosynthetic protein system that facilitates a more sustainable and improved approach to solar-powered technological devices.
Heating and cooling of space is a standard requirement in a majority of the inhabited regions. Europe’s energy consumption on air conditioning is increasing, and this situation is likely to become worse in the days to come because of the rise in temperature in different parts of the world.
A new study shows that rumors that electric cars could actually elevate carbon emissions are baseless in virtually all parts of the world.
Researchers at TU Dresden and Hasselt University in Belgium examined the physical causes that restrict the efficiency of the advanced solar cells based on organic molecular materials.
Enormous amounts of ammonia are emitted by nitrogen fertilizer in croplands and livestock production.
The concept of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering involves adding a layer of aerosol particles to the upper atmosphere to decrease climate changes due to greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.
