Cement built the modern world, but it also quietly helped heat the planet. As researchers race to cut emissions from ...

A joint research team has developed a highly efficient photocatalyst that can convert carbon dioxide into the high-value-added fuel, methane, using sunlight, while explaining its operating principles.

A laboratory setup shows yellowish and bluish light from two lamps shining on a metallic reactor. Deep-ultraviolet, infrared, and visible light shine on carbon dioxide and methane in a reactor, ...

China has launched the world’s first carbon dioxide–based power generator, using supercritical CO2 instead of steam to produce electricity with over 50% efficiency. The system harnesses industrial ...

The projected rise in CO2 emissions in 2025 is driven by growth in coal, like the coal-fired plant pictured, as well as oil and gas, according to the 2025 Global Carbon Budget Report. Global carbon ...

Surging emissions from wildfires may have been behind the increase, which was the largest since modern measurements began more than half a century ago. By Raymond Zhong and Sachi Kitajima Mulkey The ...

GENEVA (AP) — Heat-trapping carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere jumped by the highest amount on record last year, soaring to a level not seen in human civilization and "turbo-charging" the Earth's ...

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels jumped by a record amount in 2024 to push concentrations to their highest point since measurements began, the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has ...

Not-so-fun fact: our oceans hold 150 times more carbon dioxide than the Earth's atmosphere. Adding to that causes ocean acidification, which can disrupt marine food chains and reduce biodiversity.

Tree trunks in the Amazon are getting 3.3% thicker every decade as the plants absorb extra carbon dioxide, suggesting they are more resilient to global warming than previously thought. When you ...

Experts estimate that the global production and disposal of plastics emits nearly 2 billion tons of greenhouse gases per year. The vast majority of these materials end up in landfills, but what if we ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. Silicon is traditionally produced via carbothermic reduction, ...
