Climate change poses a significant threat to global food security, with conventional rice farming practices being a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. According to a recent study, flooded irrigation in rice cultivation creates anaerobic conditions that facilitate the production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. To address this environmental
Global warming
Researchers at Carbon Geocycle Inc. have developed a novel method for capturing and sequestering greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide, in coal seams. The patented technology uses a mixture stream comprised of dissolved carbon dioxide and water, which is injected into the coal seam. This process allows for the controlled sequestration
Global warming
Researchers at the University of Porto have discovered that magnetic ionic liquids (MILs) exhibit favorable solvation energies for environmentally relevant gases, such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, indicating a high potential for selective gas capture. The study employed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the thermodynamic, transport, and structural properties
