GWU research team C2CNT advances to the final round of the Carbon XPRIZE; CO2 to carbon nanotubes

Green Car Congress

In addition to developing economically viable products that utilize CO 2 emissions from power plants, the XPRIZE contest aims to scale up these technologies to a point that can truly impact climate change. There is building consensus that unchecked climate change can lead to a planetary extinction event.

Discovery of mechanism for atmospheric particle formation suggests need for ammonia emission regulations

Green Car Congress

Ammonia is convected upward during events like the Asian monsoon. What we found is that the nitric acid and ammonia are susceptible to temperature changes. The group uncovered that the ammonia is convected upward during events such as the Asian monsoon. To make clouds, you need water to nucleate or freeze.

New E3SM exascale modeling system for earth simulation released to scientific community

Green Car Congress

This conversion to open code will allow collaboration with more groups and centers. The goal of the E3SM project is to simulate reliably aspects of earth system variability and to project decadal changes that will critically impact the US energy sector in the near future.
