By tracing their evolutionary lineages and expression in woody tissues we defined a core set of genes as well as novel lignin-building candidates that are highly expressed in the development of xylem—the woody tissue that helps channel water throughout the plant—which serves to strengthen the tree. —Alexander Myburg.

This development is a significant step towards the implementation of CO 2 hydrogenation technology in South Africa. The synthesis gas is then reacted over a suitable FT catalyst, to produce hydrocarbons and water. There are two ways to convert CO 2 into a useful range of products using FT chemistry.

Oil sands comprise clay, sand, water, and bitumen. Synthetic crude oil, similar to conventional crude oil, is created by upgrading bitumen (conversion into lighter hydrocarbons). Dilbit is also processed to remove sand, water, and other impurities. —FEIS. System Alternatives.

But sulfate aerosols—the combination of particles and water—can destroy the planet-protecting ozone layer. As research continues in the lab and, eventually, outdoors, Frank Keutsch says he’s working to expand SCoPEx’s team to include scientists from Latin America, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. about 0.6 °C.

The session is expected to culminate in the adoption of a new convention by the 147 states attending the session to reduce mercury emissions and releases to the air, water and land. For example, West Africa was thought in 2005 to have minimal ASGM activity but is now recognized as an important source region.
