Researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University have published a study on the effects of biochar combined with different nitrogen fertilization rates on turf quality and carbon footprint in a turf system. The study used eight treatments, combining four nitrogen rates with two biochar practices, and found that biochar application reduced cumulative
Global warming
Research by scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has shed new light on the early Martian climate, suggesting that volcanic outgassing could have played a crucial role in warming the planet's surface. According to the study, volcanic activity around 3.6 billion years ago could have

New research from Princeton University's Program in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science has introduced a novel algorithm for reducing tropical cyclone activity in global climate models. The algorithm, dubbed "SWISHE," was implemented in a suite of simulations developed by NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and
Global warming
New research has shed light on the impact of horizontal resolutions on heavy-precipitating storms in climate modeling. The study, led by researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, investigated the effects of using low (similar to 100 km) and high (similar to 25 km) resolutions in the Energy Exascale Earth System
Air pollution
Researchers from the University of Colorado have published a study on the development of consumption-weighted benchmarking methodology for asphalt cradle-to-gate global warming potential in Colorado. The study proposes a new method for measuring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from construction materials, which is becoming a requirement for government environmental policies
Air pollution
Researchers from the University of Illinois have developed a groundbreaking carbon-aware ant colony system (CAACS) algorithm that optimizes transportation routes while minimizing carbon emissions. This innovative approach uses ant colony pheromone trails to balance environmental and economic objectives. The algorithm has been successfully applied to real-world scenarios, including UPS package
Air pollution
Research conducted at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS has revealed that hydrogen production facilities contribute significantly to CO2 emissions in the oil and gas industry. The study, published in the journal Platform, a Journal of Engineering, aimed to quantify carbon dioxide equivalent emissions through direct and indirect sources in Steam-Methane Reforming (SMR)
Air pollution
Researchers led by Prof. Zhang Jian and Prof. Zhang Yexin from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an innovative electrified catalysis strategy for dry reforming of methane (DRM) that removes more greenhouse gases than it generates. This breakthrough approach,

Research on climate change conducted by the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland, has shed light on the energy transition process in the European Union's 27 member states. The study, published in the journal Energies, aimed to assess the efficiency of the energy transition in the EU-27
Environmental sustainability
A recent study published in the European Heart Journal has revealed the significant environmental impact of two common heart procedures: transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). The research team from Columbia University conducted a life cycle assessment to determine the carbon emissions associated with these
