Geological CO₂ Storage: Massive Scale, Hidden Risks, Eternal Monitoring

The notion of geological sequestration of carbon dioxide as a climate mitigation strategy has gained prominence, largely on the back of a scenarios that aren’t aggressively electrifying and extensive fossil fuel industry lobbying. However, experiences from the oil industry’s existing use of carbon dioxide in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) cast … [continued]

The Fate Of Our Food Systems Is Wrapped Up In Climate Change & Plant Nutrition

Global climate change has had a significant impact on the way the world grows its food. Climate change introduces a suite of ominous factors, such as greenhouse gas emissions, elevated temperature, increased carbon dioxide concentrations, nitrous oxide and methane ozone depletion, and deforestation. All of these intensify environmental stresses on … [continued]

Improved Direct Air Capture of CO2 Leads the Small Chemical Change to Reap Big Climate…

Research shows improved direct air capture of CO2 using charged molecule layers. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated that small molecular tweaks to surfaces can improve absorption technology for direct air capture, or DAC, of carbon dioxide. Amino acids, which react readily with CO2 and are environmentally friendly, … [continued]
