Schematic overview of the primary black-carbon emission sources and the processes that control. the distribution of black carbon in the atmosphere and determine its role in the climate system. Accounting for all of the ways black carbon can affect climate, it is believed to have a warming effect of about 1.1 Source: Bond et al.

Global carbon dioxide emissions show no sign of abating and may reach record levels in 2010, according to a study led by the University of Exeter (UK). The study, which also involved the University of East Anglia (UK) and other global institutions, is part of the annual carbon budget update by the Global Carbon Project.

NOVEMBER 11, 2010

Variations in atmosphere carbon dioxide around 40 million years ago were tightly coupled to changes in global temperature, according to new findings published in the journal Science. Algae use photosynthesis to harvest the energy of the sun, converting carbon dioxide and water into the organic molecules required for growth.

FEBRUARY 3, 2016

Researchers at Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute and Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, have developed a highly efficient homogeneous Ru-based catalyst system for the production of methanol (CH 3 OH) from CO 2 and H 2 in an ethereal solvent (initial turnover frequency = 70 h −1 at 145 °C). The work, led by G.K.

ITF: measures to decrease road freight CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 10, 2018

Moving goods by road consumes about 50% of all diesel produced; 80% of the global net increase in diesel use since 2000 comes from road freight. Given the different geographic, economic, regulatory and infrastructure conditions, a set of road freight decarbonization strategies for each region is more suitable than a universal approach.
