Atmospheric carbon dioxide
Research from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi has highlighted the potential of zinc-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals. The persistent increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations due to industrialization and population growth has made carbon mitigation an urgent global challenge. The study suggests

Air pollution
Climate change is among the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century, largely driven by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO2). The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial expansion have released vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, upsetting the Earth's natural carbon balance.

In a bid to strike a balance between climate ambitions and economic competitiveness, EU leaders have agreed to introduce flexibility in achieving the yet-to-be decided emission reduction target for 2040. The decision was made in the face of economic concerns and the need to improve the bloc's global

A recent patent application filed by Fan, Zhanxi, and Wang, Juan, aims to revolutionize the field of carbon dioxide reduction through the development of a novel electrocatalyst. The invention, characterized by a heterostructured electrocatalyst comprising a lanthanide oxide nanomaterial deposited on a gold-containing nanosupport, promises to overcome the challenges associated

Scientists at the University of Exeter have uncovered crucial information about the mechanisms controlling carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake in continental shelf seas. Their 20-year observational-based analysis has revealed that wind-driven water flows play a significant role in determining the rate of CO2 absorption by these seas. The research, funded by

Researchers from Northwest A&F University have conducted a comprehensive study on the spatiotemporal distributions and drivers of carbon monoxide (CO) in China's Shaanxi Province from 2013 to 2022. By integrating satellite remote sensing data with ground-based measurements, the study provides a unique dataset that enables enhanced
Global warming
Research conducted by scientists from Nanjing Agricultural University has shown that the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration due to global climate change affects both plants and herbivorous insects. The study, which was financially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Postgraduate Research & Practice Innovation Program
