The question is not trivial: methane or CO2, which poses a greater danger? Both gases contribute to the greenhouse effect, exacerbating climate change. However, their characteristics and effects on the environment are different, making it crucial to understand their...
A team from the **MIT** set out to transform **CO2 pollution** into ethylene, a chemical substance used in the (https://noticiasambientales.com/compromiso-ambiental/disco-de-vinilo-con-plasticos-recuperados-del-oceano-asi-sera-el-nuevo-de-coldplay/) and fuels.
Currently, ethylene is obtained from petroleum and its price is $1,000 per ton. This technology can also produce...
Currently, the amounts of CO2 far exceed those that occurred naturally at the end of the last glaciation 20,000 years ago. Carbon dioxide or CO2 is a greenhouse gas (GHG) that traps the sun's heat and 'warms up' the...
Understanding the Carbon Footprint of Transportation
The carbon footprint of transportation refers to the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by vehicles such as cars and trucks. These gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), significantly contribute to global warming and climate...
The Spanish company La Paloma Cerámicas has developed an innovative ecological brick that guarantees a reduction of up to 32% in CO2 emissions, offers efficient energy consumption, and ensures maximum performance in construction.
Ecological Brick Characteristics
This brick, one of the...
At COP29, one of the most urgent issues is the need to remove at least 4000 million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere to combat climate change.
This task requires significant funding, especially to support less developed countries in their...
Although the Earth continues to break heat records, carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion will increase in 2024.
The world will emit 37.4 billion tons of the main greenhouse gas, an increase of 0.8% compared to 2023, according to...
Researchers from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have presented an innovative technique to effectively convert COâ‚‚ into ethanol for use as a biofuel, providing a renewable resource for sustainable chemical applications.
This process, based on electrocatalysis with electricity from...
