Carbon Sequestration
2008-10-17 03:20:00 Recently listened to a bona-fide discussion on the merits of pumping CO2 underground for storage to help with climate change. What are your thoughts on this procedure?
Greenpeace Takes on Manmade Carbon Sequestration
2008-05-05 21:04:00 Greenpeace, always good for stirring up trouble, have released a report entitled False Hope to coincide with the seventh annual Carbon Capture & Sequestration conference in Pittsburgh,...

New invention turns co2 into fuel
2008-02-29 09:54:00 A scientist who mapped his genome and the genetic diversity of the oceans said Thursday he is creating a life form that feeds ...
Re-oxygenating the sea
2007-12-11 17:43:00 A Californian firm has found a way of re-oxygenating the world?s oceans, which it firmly believes will help combat global warming. Using the latest technology, leading eco-restoration firm, Planktos, is planning to replenish the sea?s floating plankton forests, which absorb half the Earth?s carbon dioxide and generate half the Earth?s oxygen. Simply restoring the marine plankton ...

New invention turns exhaust gases into biofuel
2007-12-02 11:41:00 The world’s richest corporations and finest minds spend billions trying to solve the problem of carbon emissions, but three fishing pals in North Wales believe they have cracked it. They have developed a box which they say can be fixed underneath a car in place of the exhaust to trap the greenhouse gases blamed for global ...

Are the oceans now almost fully saturated with CO2?
2007-10-21 10:08:00 The amount of carbon dioxide being absorbed by the world’s oceans has reduced, scientists have said. University of East Anglia researchers gauged CO2 absorption through more than 90,000 measurements from merchant ships equipped with automatic instruments. Results of their 10-year study in the North Atlantic show CO2 uptake halved between the mid-90s and 2000 to 2005. Scientists believe ...
Global warming solution: Stairway to heaven?
2007-07-23 08:53:00 A few grandiose projects to reduce global warming have been suggested, such as giant parasols in space or adding iron to the ocean to encourage planktonic algae to grow and soak up carbon dioxide. But one idea proposed by Alfred Wong of the University of California, Los Angeles is about as lateral as they come. Dr Wong ...
Using solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into fuel
2007-06-25 07:34:00 Chemists at the University of California, San Diego have demonstrated the feasibility of exploiting sunlight to transform a greenhouse gas into a useful product. Clifford Kubiak, professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and his graduate student Aaron Sathrum have developed a prototype device that can capture energy from the sun, convert it to electrical energy and ?split? ...
Scientists close in on missing carbon sink
2007-06-24 10:31:00 Forests in the United States and other northern mid- and upper-latitude regions are playing a smaller role in offsetting global warming than previously thought, according to a study appearing in Science this week. The study, which sheds light on the so-called missing carbon sink, concludes that intact tropical forests are removing an unexpectedly high proportion of ...
Ecotality: Carbon Sequestration Could be $8B Business for Agriculture
2007-05-25 17:55:00 By Ecotality writer Bill Hobbs. Originally published May 22, 2007. It?s not going to be the most scintillating beachside reading this summer, but a new guide coming out in June from Duke University Press could help prevent rising seas from obliterating your favorite beach. It?s called Harnessing Farms and Forests in the Low-Carbon Economy: How to Create and Verify Greenhouse Gas Offsets, and is described as ?the first how-to manual for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the United States through changes in land use and farming practices, and turning those reductions into verifiable credits for trading in carbon markets, is about to hit bookshelves.? John Grisham it ain?t, but the book may help bring some rationality and credibility to the whole ?carbon offsets? business. The book is a technical guide for farmers, foresters, traders and investors. You can see a preview of the guide here. According to the Duke University press release, the book explains how farmers and foresters c...
