For millions of years, green plants have employed photosynthesis to capture energy from sunlight and convert it into electrochemical energy. A goal of scientists has been to develop an artificial version of photosynthesis that can be used to produce liquid fuels from carbon dioxide and water
Soil Carbon Sequestration and the Greenhouse Effect: Second Edition, a new book published by the Soil Science Society of America, examines the role of soils as a carbon sink and provides new perspectives as the field of carbon sequestration advances
The three varieties of bryophites (liverworts, hornworts, and mosses) have long been utilized as indicators of the health of local environments, but with the recent effects of climate change and the depleting ozone layer, these plants present an important measure in their ability to withstand increased exposure to UVR
Dust blown off the continents and deposited in the open ocean is an important source of nutrients for marine phytoplankton, the tiny algae that are the foundation of the ocean food web. But new findings show that some sources of dust also carry toxic elements that can kill marine phytoplankton
Corporate Responsibility Officer magazine today named Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) as one of the top ten corporate citizens in the United States. For the second time in three years, Entergy was the highest-ranking utility company on CRO's honored list
Trees already pull carbon dioxide from the air and safely lock it away naturally through photosynthesis. Now, in a new report, geologists have mapped large rock formations in the United States that can also absorb CO2, which they say might be artificially harnessed to do the task at a vastly increased pace
Although ecologists expect many species will be harmed by climate change, some species could be buffered by their potential to evolve or by changes in their surrounding ecosystems
IBM, EIM, C-Lock and Foxconn announced a global agreement to jointly deliver and deploy GreenCert, the world's first enterprise content management system that can accurately calculate and certify the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by a facility
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has named Saint-Gobain as a 2009 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for outstanding energy management and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions
With national attention focused on renewable energy policies, Butte College cemented its leadership in use of solar power by unveiling three new solar projects which will help the college achieve its goal of becoming a carbon neutral campus by 2015
