‘Super-emitter’: Abandoned coal borehole leaks methane equivalent to 10,000 cars
“Unveiling Environmental Threats: The Impact of a ‘Super-Emitter’ Coal Borehole Leaking Methane Equivalent to 10,000 Cars” A single, abandoned coal borehole in rural Queensland, Australia, was found to be a “super-emitter” of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. This revelation has raised concerns about the environmental impact of such neglected sites and the urgent need for […]
Farm waste bio-oil may plug orphaned US oil wells and trap carbon for decades
Farm waste bio-oil may plug orphaned US oil wells and trap carbon for decades US researchers have found that transforming plant waste like corn stalks and forest debris into bio-oil could hold the key to addressing two major environmental challenges simultaneously. By converting farm waste into bio-oil, a viable solution emerges to plug orphaned oil […]
Carbon storage capacity far more limited than previously believed, says IIASA
Carbon Storage Capacity Far More Limited Than Previously Believed, Says IIASA A recent study conducted by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) has revealed alarming findings regarding the capacity for carbon storage in our environment. The research indicates that the ability of natural systems to safely store carbon is far more restricted than […]
Scientists show lightning pollutes the sky with gases that can rival car exhaust
Scientists Show Lightning Pollutes the Sky with Gases that can Rival Car Exhaust You may think of flooding or power outages when storms roll in. But each lightning strike not only lights up the sky but also leaves behind a surprising trail of pollution. Recent studies have shown that lightning can pollute the atmosphere with […]
Why cement is climate’s hardest challenge
Why Cement is Climate’s Hardest Challenge Modern construction would be impossible without cement, yet this essential material poses one of our most significant environmental challenges. Cement production is responsible for a vast amount of carbon dioxide emissions, with the industry accounting for about 8% of global CO2 emissions. This places it as the second-largest industrial […]
