Shipping is an extremely efficient way to move bulk goods around the planet, but it’s responsible for around 3% of global man-made carbon emissions, and the unique energy requirements of long-haul cargo ships make them extremely difficult to decarboniz… Continue reading Ridiculously simple idea cuts cargo ship emissions by 17.3% in first trials
Iron and steel form the structural backbone of modern life, but they’re responsible for somewhere around 8% of global carbon emissions, making them the single biggest source of industrial greenhouse gases.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceT… Continue reading Profitable retrofit system could slash steelmaking emissions by 94%
Following a similar decision in the European Union, the state of California has announced it’s phasing out new sales of diesel and gasoline cars by 2035, setting aggressive targets along the way. This move will have dramatic effects across the USA.Cont… Continue reading California bans new combustion car sales from 2035
UC Berkeley chemists say they’ve created a simple, and very inexpensive way to capture carbon dioxide using a polymer called melamine, that’s far cheaper than metal-organic frameworks. It could capture carbon emissions from smokestacks or tailpipes.Con… Continue reading UCB demonstrates “incredibly cheap and easy” carbon-capture material
We already have devices which detect vehicles that are exceeding the speed limit, or that are too noisy. Now, scientists are working on an unmanned sensor that could be used to sniff out automobiles that are emitting overly-dirty exhaust…
