A 3,775-year-old log discovery has lent credence to the idea of burying wood to sequester the carbon it contains. Known as a wood vault, the concept helps keep CO2 out of the atmosphere while allowing the soil to be used for crops and other purposes.Co… Continue reading Carbon-locking wood vault concept advanced by discovery of ancient log

In case you haven’t heard, the methane in cow burps is a major source of greenhouse gases. There may be a new way of addressing that problem, however, as a recent study shows that feeding cows clay reduces their methane emissions by over 30%.Continue R… Continue reading Clay reduces methane in cow burps by 30%

Concrete and steel production are major sources of CO2 emissions, but a new solution from Cambridge could recycle both at the same time. Throwing old concrete into steel-processing furnaces not only purifies iron but produces “reactivated cement” as a … Continue reading ‘Absolute miracle’ breakthrough provides recipe for zero-carbon cement
According to some estimates, the generation of the heat used to produce traditional portland cement is responsible for 5% to 8% of all human-made CO2 emissions. A new substance known as C-Crete, however, is claimed to be a much greener – yet still prac… Continue reading C-Crete hailed as a planet-friendly alternative to cement
Researchers have used a low-emissions method to harvest hydrogen and graphene from waste plastics. They say it not only solves environmental problems like plastic pollution and greenhouse gas production, but the value of the graphene by-product could o… Continue reading Low-emissions flash method upcycles waste plastic into “free” hydrogen
Coming as no surprise to the millions who sweltered through a Northern Hemisphere summer, the season that has just passed was Earth’s hottest since records began in 1880, according NASA scientists.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: United Nations, … Continue reading We’re cooked: The hottest summer on record, confirms NASA
A particularly impressive red alga has already shown great promise in dramatically reducing the alarming levels of methane gas produced by a cow’s enteric digestive system. Now, a team of scientists has moved from the animal’s belches to its tail end, … Continue reading Red alga added to cow poop slashes methane emissions by almost half
The health benefits of a meat-based versus a plant-based diet are often hotly debated both in the research community and by self-styled health gurus on social media platforms. A new study adds another checkmark to the plant-based column, this time loop… Continue reading Paleo and keto diets bad for health and the planet, says study
