The report’s best estimate of direct climate influence by black carbon is about a factor of two higher than most previous work. This includes the estimates in the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment, which were based on the best available evidence and analysis at that time. Bond et al.

Vastly expanding sugarcane production in Brazil for conversion to ethanol could reduce current global CO 2 emissions by as much as 5.6%, according to a new study by an international team led by researchers from the University of Illinois. The carbon-related costs of converting the land to sugarcane fields were included in the analysis.

Ethanol production is one of the least costly known applications of CO2 capture and, to date, the cost of capturing CO2 has been cited as one of the major barriers to CCS. A US Department of Energy supported project is capturing and storing around 1 Mt per year of CO 2 from an Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) plant in Illinois.

A team from the University of Illinois and startup Dioxide Materials has developed an electrocatalytic system for the reduction of CO 2 to CO—a key component of artificial photosynthesis and thus an enabler for the conversion of CO 2 to synthetic fuels—at overpotentials below 0.2 for formation of the “CO2 ? —i.e.,

Maybe you missed their headline yesterday that read: Scientists: Pace of Climate Change Exceeds Estimates. Facts like this from his blog Climate Progress: The University of Illinois’ Arctic Climate Research Center — has become weary of having their data misreported by global warming deniers like Will.

Percent change in median CO2 by scenario relative to 2000. A Georgia Tech City and Regional Planning study on climate change concludes that “smart growth” combined with the use of hybrid vehicle technology could reduce cities’ carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions significantly by 2050.
