Bees, Balloons, Pollen Used as Novel Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Approaches

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) have discovered an innovative way to use bees, pollen, and helium-filled balloons to verify that no carbon dioxide leaks from carbon sequestration sites. The tubes are heated while helium gas is flowing through them. Click to enlarge.

Study finds global rivers and streams emitting 3x IPCC estimates of the GHG N2O

Green Car Congress

Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction. It is produced via a microbial process called denitrification, which converts nitrogen to nitrous oxide and an inert gas called dinitrogen. The findings, the authors hope, will lead to more effective mitigation strategies.
