Ford Sierra RS500 ‘Carbon Piranha’ is a one-off restomod
Vision 148 plans to build a carbon-fiber Ford Sierra RS500 Only 500 cars were built in 1987 as homologation specials Expect more than the original car’s 224 hp A consortium…
A leaky sink: Carbon emissions from forest soil will likely grow with rising temperatures
The soils of northern forests are key reservoirs that help keep the carbon dioxide that trees inhale and use for photosynthesis from making it back into the atmosphere. But a…
Converting captured carbon to fuel: Study assesses what’s practical and what’s not
The struggle to cut emissions is real. Last year, the world emitted more than 37 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, setting a new record high. As a result, sucking…
IHG launches industry-first ‘low carbon pioneers’ programme, ET TravelWorld News, ET TravelWorld
IHG Hotels & Resorts, a global leader in hospitality, has announced the launch of its groundbreaking Low Carbon Pioneers programme. This initiative brings together a group of energy-efficient hotels that…
Novel catalysts for improved methanol production using carbon dioxide dehydrogenation
Encapsulating copper nanoparticles within hydrophobic porous silicate crystals has been shown by scientists at Tokyo Tech to significantly enhance the catalytic activity of copper-zinc oxide catalysts used in methanol synthesis…
Combating carbon footprint: Novel reactor system converts carbon dioxide into usable fuel
Boilers are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. In a recent study, researchers from Japan and Poland developed a method to convert CO2 emissions from small boilers into methane,…
A simple, inexpensive way to make carbon atoms bind together
The active ingredient in many drugs is what’s known as a small molecule: bigger than water, much smaller than an antibody and mainly made of carbon. It’s tough, however, to…
Manganese plays a surprising role in soil carbon sequestration
Manganese in the soil of boreal forests has been found to work against the carbon storage capacity of these crucial northern habitats. Located predominantly in cold regions at high latitude,…
Catalytic combo converts CO2 to solid carbon nanofibers
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Columbia University have developed a way to convert carbon dioxide (CO2), a potent greenhouse gas, into carbon nanofibers,…
‘Carbon vault’ peat suffers greatly from drought
Peatlands are affected more by drought than expected. This is concerning, as these ecosystems are an important ally in the fight against climate change. Following long periods of drought, peat…
