Carbon Dioxide

Dark data, or data that is collected, processed and stored for single-use purposes, accounts for over half of all digital data generated by companies. Unused images, files, documents, and other data requires energy to be stored. Data centres, responsible for 2.5 percent of all human-induced carbon dioxide emissions, have a greater carbon footprint ...

Researchers also found that even older large trees continue adding biomass as they age due to elevated carbon dioxide levels.

Burning the world's remaining fossil fuel reserves would unleash 3.5 trillion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the first public inventory of hydrocarbons released Monday.

The James Webb Space Telescope has, for the first time, detected evidence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet outside the solar system. The evidence has been spotted on the exoplanet WASP-39 b, which was discovered in 2011.

The months-old James Webb Space Telescope has added another major scientific discovery to its growing list: detecting for the first time signs of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet outside our solar system.

A team of researchers has produced a new plasma-based method through which the resources available in the Martian environment can be utilised to make oxygen. The method would not only allow astronauts to breathe on the planet during future Mars missions, but could also help make fuel, building materials, and fertilisers there.

Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered a new set of chemical reactions that can produce the building blocks of life. They have found a set of chemical reactions that can produce amino acids and nucleic acids — the building blocks of proteins and DNA — by using cyanide, ammonia, and carbon dioxide.

Taking carbon dioxide, water and sunlight as only inputs, researchers in Switzerland have developed carbon-neutral, sustainable versions of diesel and aviation fuel.

Researchers have developed artificial photosynthesis using a two-step electrocatalytic process to convert carbon dioxide, electricity, and water into acetate, the form of the main component of vinegar. This way bypasses the need for biological photosynthesis altogether.

o conduct the study, the team monitored the molecules by labelling pyruvate with C13 (a carbon isotope). With this, they were able to see the consequences. Researchers have also noticed that the usage of pyruvate was based on its sources.

Carbon dioxide levels are currently more than 50% than they were before the industrial revolution, according to a recently released data by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Reports of bomb-like blizzards and scorching droughts provide a dreadful image of climate change's potential reality. In recent decades, modern data demonstrate an unnatural global warming trend that has taken control of the Earth's climate. Humans release heat-trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, raising global t...

To control climate change, the world must go beyond cutting carbon dioxide emissions and curb lesser-known pollutants such as nitrous oxide playing a key role in warming the planet, new research suggests.

University of Cambridge researchers have designed a battery-like device that can take us a step further to solve the carbon dioxide emission problems in the present world. This supercapacitor device can selectively absorb CO2 during its charging process.

The US Energy Department has launched a programme on Thursday to fund four large-scale projects across the country that can remove carbon dioxide from the air. The federal department invested $3.5 billion in the technology. The programme would create four regional direct air capture hubs to spur the widespread deployment of the technology and carbo...
