Carbon 'offsets' aren't working: Researchers offer a 'roadmap' to improve nature-based climate solutions
A lot of the climate-altering carbon pollution humans release into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels gets drawn into the Earth's oceans and landscapes through natural processes, mostly through photosynthesis, as plants turn atmospheric carbon dioxide into biomass.

Novel method to convert carbon dioxide into methanol, paving the way for green energy solutions
A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in sustainable technology through the development of a method to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into methanol—a process that could play a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing environmentally friendly fuels.

"According to the Committee on Climate Change, the UK’s share of global emissions is approximately 1 per cent. However, the carbon budgets they have recommended, up to 2043, are equivalent to 1.79% of what they acknowledge to be the available global budget for only a 50% chance of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees. Britain is setting too large a carbon budget for itself, taking nearly twice its fair share"

Influence of oxygen-defects on intraband terahertz conductivity of carbon nanotubes
The exceptional charge transport properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) enable numerous ultrafast optoelectronic applications. Modifying SWCNTs by introducing defects significantly impacts the performance of nanotube-based devices, making defect characterization crucial. This research tracked these effects in oxygen plasma-treated SWCNT thin films. Sub-picosecond electric fields of varying strengths and additional photoexcitation were used to assess how defects influence charge c…

This paper examines the economic and environmental impacts of the European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). We develop a multi-country, multi-sector general equilibrium model with input-output linkages and characterise the general equilibrium response of trade flows, welfare and emissions. As far as we know, this is the first quantitative trade model that jointly endogenises the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) allowances and CBAM prices.

The major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events strongly influence the mean structure of the entire atmosphere, from the troposphere to the thermosphere. These events disrupt the compositional and thermal structure of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT), causing spatiotemporal variations in the concentration of trace species of this region. Currently, the role of dynamical changes during SSW events on radiative cooling in the MLT region is not well understood. An investigation of th…

We have to talk about burning trash🗑️🔥
Waste incinerators / waste-to-energy plants that generate electricity and heat are an enormous and often underestimated source of CO2 🏭💨🌎. For example, in Germany, a country where waste-to-energy plants are common, their emissions are higher than those of cement.
Waste incinerator operators will often claim that half of their emissions don't count 🌿 or even that they already have net-negative emissions 🌎. I disagree with both 🧵

Just Stop Burning Trash
Waste-to-energy plants are a massive source of carbon dioxide emissions. Yet, it is not obvious what the best solution for high-emitting incinerators would be. Should incinerators be equiped with carbon capture? How much can recycling rates be improved, and what role should chemical recycling play? And could landfills be a carbon storage solution?
