Shifts in lake carbon dynamics on the Qingzang Plateau: From predominant carbon sources to emerging carbon sinks
A new study shows that annual carbon emissions from lakes in the Qingzang Plateau (QZP)—a vast elevated plateau at the intersection of Central, South, and East Asia—have declined, with some lakes shifting from carbon sources between 1970–2000 t.....»»
Researchers realize photo-driven nitrogen fixation and ammonia synthesis mediated by lithium hydride
Ammonia is essential for food and future energy supply. In the industry, it is mainly produced by the Haber-Bosch process, which operates at high temperatures and pressures. Due to the high energy consumption and carbon emissions of ammonia industry,.....»»

New study reports that Greenland is a methane sink rather than a source
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have concluded that the methane uptake in dry landscapes exceeds methane emissions from wet areas across the ice-free part of Greenland. The results of the new study contribute important knowledge to climat.....»»
Efficient photothermal CO₂ methanation over NiFe alloy nanoparticles
The massive emissions of CO2 from the utilization of fossil fuels have caused a series of environmental issues and climate change. Driven by the fast development of green hydrogen and CO2 capture technologies, the hydrogenation of CO2 to hydrocarbon.....»»
Do tree-planting campaigns follow best practices for successful forest restoration?
Global tree-planting campaigns have reached fad-like proportions over the past decade, and it's easy to understand their appeal. Healthy forests help in the fight against climate change by absorbing some of our excess carbon dioxide emissions, and th.....»»
Study tracks how wetland tree stem emissions vary by season, location, and hydrological conditions
The recent rise in atmospheric methane (CH4) has drawn increased attention to the potent greenhouse gas, which is approximately 45 times more powerful than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. About 60% of global methane emissions are a.....»»
Coastal chemistry improves methane modeling
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are using a new modeling framework in conjunction with data collected from marshes in the Mississippi Delta to improve predictions of climate-warming methane and nitrous oxide emissions from soils in coasta.....»»
Lotus dealers stuck with sold Emira stock as emissions certification drags on
Lotus is delivering the $100,000 low-slung coupe to dealers ahead of receiving emissions certification from the California Air Resources Board. The car can't be sold in any of the 50 states without CARB approval, Lotus said......»»
