A new material invented by University of California, Berkeley researchers has the potential to transform direct air capture of carbon and get us closer to zero emissions. Capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) has become essential to lowering atmospheric greenhouse gasses and preventing global warming as CO2 levels continue to [...]
The built environment, which includes buildings, highways, bridges, and other infrastructure, accounts for about 40% of embodied carbon. These emissions are a major source of climate change, prompting politicians and business leaders to focus on developing more energy-efficient structures. However, Ming Hu, Associate Dean for Research at the University of [...]
In a recent publication published in Science, researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) described a new wearable fabric meant to help urban inhabitants cope with the extreme heat induced by global climate change. This innovative fabric has the potential to be used not just [...]
Cement is arguably the most widely utilized construction product in the world. With a little tinkering, it may also help energy storage. On a laboratory workstation in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a collection of polished black-colored concrete cylinders lies in liquid and is entangled with cables. They don’t appear to be accomplishing [...]
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a revolutionary method for carbon capture that uses activated charcoal sponge a procedure similar to battery charging. This novel technology promises to meet the urgent demand for carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination from the atmosphere, which is an essential factor in the ongoing [...]
The current spike in food costs isn’t just terrible news for grocery store shoppers; it also has important ramifications for the sugars used in biomanufacturing. Biomanufacturing, encompassing the production of food, plastics, and other commodity chemicals, is primarily reliant on sugar. Biomanufacturing has turned out to be less environmentally friendly [...]
The Clean Arctic Alliance, a coalition comprising influential environmental organizations such as Bellona, is ramping up its endeavors to tackle the pressing issue of black carbon emissions in the Arctic. Following a significant meeting with Arctic Council leadership, the Alliance has underscored the critical imperative for immediate action to curb [...]
In response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) pioneering environmental disclosure regulations, Zoetic Global is dedicated to guiding companies through this new landscape. These rules mandate disclosures encompassing emissions, climate change impacts, and carbon offset utilization, signaling a significant shift in corporate reporting requirements. Zoetic Global recognizes the dual [...]
Transportation contributes significantly to Europe’s carbon emissions, with heavy-duty haulage vehicles playing a substantial role. Swedish manufacturer Scania is at the forefront of finding innovative solutions to decarbonize existing trucks and reduce the environmental impact of goods transportation.A key challenge in reducing carbon emissions from haulage is the longevity of [...]
