New Technique From National Lab Promises To Strip Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Power Plants, Factories At Record Low Cost

New Technique From National Lab Promises To Strip Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Power Plants, Factories At Record Low Cost

NEW YORK - Scientists at one of the country’s premier research labs have discovered a record-cheap way to capture carbon dioxide as it’s emitted from power plants and factories, including the likes of iron and steel manufacturing facilities. Globally, industrial processes are responsible for 31 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions and electricity generation accounts for

How Energy Leaders Envision Countering Climate Change in the Future

WASHINGTON DC - With the federal government promising over US$360 billion in clean energy incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, energy companies are already lining up investments. It’s a huge opportunity, and analysts project that it could help slash U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by about 40% within the decade. But in conversations with energy industry leaders in recent months,

NASA Study: Sea Level Along U.S. Coastlines Could Rise 12 Inches By 2050

WASHINGTON DC - A new NASA study indicates that the sea level along U.S. coastlines could rise more than a foot by the year 2050, at the high end of previous estimates, a development with potentially serious consequences. NASA's Sea Level Change Team analyzed nearly three decades of satellite observations before reaching this conclusion. While

Internet Outages Could Spread As Temperatures Rise

SAN FRANCISCO - Climate change is hitting us at an ever faster pace. 2022 is expected to be the sixth-hottest year on record as average temperatures reached 1.57 degrees Celsius above the 20th century average. We're on track to normalize that temperature gain every year, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted last year, and it

Study: Humanity Has Only Nine Years To Avoid Catastrophic Global Warming

DETROIT - The world has almost used all its remaining carbon budget. In less than a decade, it will be over — unless we do much more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by then, the world is heading causing the world to pass a critical warming threshold, a new study shows. If this threshold is

New Material Scrubs CO2 From Power Plants Before It Is Emitted

WASHINGTON DC - Scientists have discovered a reusable material that can capture carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants and prevent the greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere. A team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology claim that the aluminum formate material, known as ALF, lacks the shortcomings of other proposed carbon filtration methods and
