Scientists say cleaner shipping fuel is adding to ocean warming

Delivering fuel regulations presented in 2020 have caused a significant cut in sulphur dioxide (SO2) pollution, but may also have made the ocean warmer by decreasing cloud cover, according to a modelling research study in a. paper published recently. International Maritime Company (IMO) guidelines to take on. marine pollution required carriers to cut their fuel

Scientists synthesised material that can absorb Greenhouse Gases

Scientists from the UK and China have synthesised a porous material that has the capacity to shrink our carbon footprint. The material, described as “cage of cages” by researchers, can absorb common greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide with strong affinity and hold it. It is made in two steps with reactions assembling triangular prism building

Sand substitute developed by IISc scientists

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru have created a promising new material that can replace natural sand in construction. This development comes as a response to the growing scarcity of sand, a crucial component in building materials. The team at IISc’s Centre for Sustainable Technologies (CST) is exploring methods to utilise

Scientists develop catalyst with higher activity for hydrogen production

Researchers have developed an advanced platinum nanocatalyst that significantly improves hydrogen production efficiency. This breakthrough hybrid catalyst showcased enhanced activity and stability, with potential applications for hydrogen-powered vehicles. According to data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of Korea, there were approximately 30,000 hydrogen-powered vehicles registered by 2022, representing a threefold increase compared

Scientists develop new efficient method to produce green hydrogen

Researchers from the University of Colorado have discovered a more efficient method to produce green hydrogen and syngas using solar energy. This sustainable approach can potentially revolutionize energy use in various industries. Scientists from the University of Colorado have developed a new and efficient way to produce green hydrogen or green syngas, a precursor to

Trees growing faster, but absorbing less carbon dioxide

Studies have even confirmed that fast-growing trees are often associated with shorter life expectancies.

Scientists working on new idea to capture CO2 from air

A new way of sucking carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in the sea has been outlined by scientists. They say that this novel approach captures CO2 from the atmosphere up to three times more efficiently than current methods. The warming gas can be transformed into bicarbonate of soda and stored safely and

University of Bath scientists working on SMFCs for green energy

Scientists at the University of Bath are involving the microorganisms in the soil to produce electricity that could one day help decontaminate polluted landscapes. A team has already used clean technology to help remote communities in Brazil purify their water supply. They are soon to launch a start-up to bring soil microbial fuel cells (SMFCs)

Agriculture carbon reduction solution for China proposed

Chinese scientists, in collaboration with researchers from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Germany, have proposed an agricultural carbon reduction solution that could help China achieve carbon neutrality in its food production, according to the Institute of Soil Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). According to the research model evaluation, the total
