Starting in October 2010, Dr. Jennifer Strunk will lead a new junior research group in the Laboratory of Industrial Chemistry at Ruhr University Bochum lead by Prof. Dr. Martin Muhler with a 5-year, 1.18 million Euro research grant from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
An unusual substance known as “dry water,” which resembles powdered sugar, could provide a new way to absorb and store carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, scientists reported at the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Bayer Technology Services (BTS), Bayer MaterialScience, RWE and Siemens, in association with ten partners from universities and the scientific world, are joining forces to research new methods of utilizing carbon dioxide using renewable energies.
‘From research to reality’ is the theme of the 10th Greenhouse Gas Technologies Control Conference (GHGT-10), which will be held in Amsterdam from September 19 - 23. More than 1500 scientists will discuss barriers to and opportunities for implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS).
The ThyssenKrupp Group's InCar project won second prize at this year's ÖkoGlobe (EcoGlobe) awards.
The Greenland and West Antarctic ice caps are melting at half the speed previously predicted. This finding has emerged from research by a joint US/Dutch team from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft, The Netherlands) and SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research.
Global CO2 emissions decreased in 2009, the first decrease recorded this decade. However, in China and India the emissions increased by 9 and 6 percent.
Since 1962, Micromeritics has supplied analytical tools that determine porosity and surface area, critical measurements needed for the study of potential CO2 sequestration sites.
Championed by a consortium of French and European manufacturers and research organizations, the France Nord project, to transport and store carbon dioxide, has been selected by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
There are various kinds of CO2. Emissions of fossil CO2 that result from the burning of fossil fuel affect the environment. Biogenic CO2 resulting from the burning of wood or biofuels, however, is 'climate neutral'. Scientists at the University of Groningen have developed a method of accurately determining the ratio of these two types of CO2 in industrial emissions, using carbon-14 analysis. The method has proven to be so successful that the University will conduct a follow-up project, financed by RWE.
