Mutant Cyanobacterium Chonkus Could Help Combat Climate Change with Carbon Storage
Chonkus, a mutant strain of cyanobacterium, has been found to store more carbon and sink faster than typical strains. Discovered by Max Schubert and his team at the Wyss Institute, this microbe could assist in carbon sequestration efforts. Chonkus' quick sinking ability and high carbon storage capacity suggest it may play a role in reducing atmosph...

Ancient Log Discovery in Canada Shows How Wood Burial Could Be Key to Affordable Carbon Storage
A 3,775-year-old log, found by climate scientist Ning Zeng's team in Canada, has shown the potential of buried wood for long-term carbon storage. When covered by clay, the log retained most of its carbon, hinting at a cost-effective, natural solution for lowering atmospheric CO2 levels. Researchers suggest this low-cost strategy could lock away car...

Burying Wood: A Simple, Low-Tech Carbon Storage Solution to Combat Climate Change
Researchers have found a 3,775-year-old log buried under a farm in Canada, offering insight into a low-cost and scalable method to lock carbon out of the atmosphere for millennia. The study reveals that burying wood under the right conditions, such as in oxygen-deprived environments and clay soils, could prevent its decay and preserve its carbon co...
