The burgeoning development and sustained production of advances in the booming field of solar-to-energy conversion have inspired a Special Issue specifically dedicated to “Artificial Photosynthesis: Mimicking Nature for Renewable Energy Production” – guest editors Wee-Jun Ong, Zhiqun Lin and Kazunari Domen.
How Does Climate Change Impact Sugarcane Production?
A team of researchers from Macquarie University, the University of Queensland and Sugar Research Australia has undertaken a comprehensive review of scientific studies on how climate change impacts sugarcane production
Climate Busters
Increasing the Supply of Renewable Electricity Creates Potential Energy Storage Applications for Synthetic Fuels Aggressive CO2 reduction targets are stimulating the conversion of fossil-fuel-powered electricity systems into renewable low-carbon systems. This energy...
Battery Power: Electricity and Chemicals from CO2
Of interest to the field of CO2 utilization is the adaptation of the above described energy storage system into one capable of fixing CO2 into a useful product, in this particular case carbon.
Achieving Gt/y CO2 Utilization with Negative CO2 Emissions
Our global community has been tasked to define and implement a Manhattan style strategy for reducing CO2 emissions at the gigatonne scale. The vision to accomplish this heroic goal is a holistic paradigm, which makes use of all the technologies in the CO2 utilization...
Throughfall Drop Size Distributions: A Review and Prospectus for Future Research
Whathappens under a tree, or in the forest, when it rains? The answer to this fundamental question has occupied generations of forest hydrologists, forest ecologists, and biogeochemists.
Weapons of Mass Construction in the War on Climate Change: Heterogeneous Catalysis and Electro-Catalysis
In the war against climate change two promising approaches are being developed for catalytically converting CO2 to value-added chemicals and fuels
MetOp-C: All Good Things Come in Threes
The third MetOp weather satellite is being put to the test.
A Burning Question: Anthropogenic Methane!
What are we going to do with the rapidly increasing concentrations of CH4 and associated combustion product CO2 building up in our atmosphere?
CO2 on the Brain and the Brain on CO2
Opinion: Do you think we have a serious greenhouse gas climate change problem caused by anthropogenic CO2 emissions in our atmosphere, which is threatening the future health and well-being of our civilization?
