In the global effort to mitigate **climate change**, both humanity and **natural ecosystems** play a **crucial role**. Among nature's tools to combat global warming are carbon sinks, systems that **can enhance the absorption of carbon (CO2) by the oceans**,...
Researchers at the Jiao Tong University in Shanghai have developed a new material of biochar to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) in a much more efficient and affordable way.
This group, led by Chen Zhang, published the results of their work...
In an unprecedented event, at least as far as records show, a Norwegian ship captures and stores its CO2. This was announced by local authorities who celebrated the news.
The shipowner announced that they modified one of their ships to...
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
