Researchers find that the global carbon pool in seagrass beds is as much as 19.9B metric tons

Green Car Congress

Per unit area, seagrass meadows can store up to twice as much carbon as the world’s temperate and tropical forests, according to a paper this week in the journal Nature Geoscience. The paper, “Seagrass Ecosystems as a Globally Significant Carbon Stock,” is the first global analysis of carbon stored in seagrasses.

US DOE Awarding Up To $62M for Concentrating Solar Power Research and Development

Green Car Congress

Awards under this category focus on research and development of concepts and components that could be part of a CSP baseload system. The energy is stored through a chemical reaction, which potentially allows the energy to be stored for a much longer period of time. University of South Florida – Tampa, FL – up to $2.5
