Study: There is less room to store carbon dioxide, driver of climate change, than previously thought
The world has far fewer places to securely store carbon dioxide deep underground than previously thought, steeply lowering its potential to help stem global warming, according to a new study that challenges long-held industry claims about the practice.

World's First Ever Large-Scale Carbon Storage Site Successfully Injects CO2 Below Seabed | Happy Eco News
Norway’s Northern Lights project achieved the world’s first large-scale carbon storage injection beneath the seabed. By capturing and permanently storing CO₂ from industrial facilities, the initiative marks a major milestone for climate mitigation. The project demonstrates how international collaboration and technology can scale carbon capture to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

Carbon offsets have failed for 25 years, and most should be phased out
Academics at the University of Oxford and the University of Pennsylvania have conducted the most comprehensive review of evidence on the effectiveness on carbon offsetting to date and concluded the practice is ineffective and riddled with "intractable" problems. The review is published in the Annual Review of Environment and Resources.

Human influence reduces natural land carbon stocks by 24%, study finds
Human activities, such as deforestation and the expansion of agricultural areas, have a massive impact on the natural state of ecosystems. As a result, large amounts of carbon are released into the atmosphere, contributing substantially to anthropogenic climate change.

Desert soils can emit greenhouse gases in minutes—even without microbes
A study from researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev reveals that desert soils can emit powerful greenhouse gases within minutes of being wetted—even in the absence of microbial life.

Global CO2 storage capacity may be drastically overstated, study finds
A new analysis suggests that the “prudent” storage available for carbon dioxide to head off further global warming is more limited than other recent estimates. Accounting for the risks associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS), the study found that stashing carbon underground in suitable locations would likely reduce warming by only about 0.7° Celsius […]
