Could increasing the world’s whale population help sequester carbon dioxide to fight climate change?
SF6 Worries – The Most Potent and Persistent Greenhouse Gas
The most potent and persistent greenhouse gas is neither carbon dioxide nor methane, but sulfur hexafluoride, a colorless, odorless, non-polar, inert gas.
A Catalyst for Sustainable Methanol
A new green catalyst converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methanol.
Constructing the Future with Energy-Efficient Building Materials
Advanced polymers can address the need for improved insulation materials and potentially lower carbon dioxide emissions.
