Schematic image of low-purity CO2 storage with membrane-based Direct Air Capture (DAC). Credit: Takeshi TsujiA new research shows that geological storage of low purity carbon dioxide associated with oxygen and nitrogen of direct air capture is an environmentally and financially feasible techniques to remove carbon from the environment.The recurring international threat of environmental adjustment...

New Study Shows Promising Results for “Solar Canals” in California, Advancing Renewable Energy and Water Conservation

The context of cooperation with UC Water and the Sierra Nevada Research Institute at UC Merced, scientists from UC Santa Cruz have released an investigation that suggests that encompassing California's 6,350 km network of public water shipment canals with photovoltaic panels could be a financially viable way to advance both renewable energy sources and...

Transforming ‘Drain Gas’ Into Clean Hydrogen Fuel

An odoriferous, toxic gas can now be converted into clean-burning petroleum using a brand-new chemical process that has been found by specialists.The procedure converts hydrogen sulfide—more commonly known as "drain gas"—into hydrogen fuel and was recently described in the American Chemical Society publication ACS Sustainable Chemical Engineering. Hydrogen sulfide is a byproduct of industrial...

Developing Organic Nitrogen Fertilizer to Improve Farming Production

As is known the researchers at Flinders College are investigating organic nitrogen plant fertilizer to bring nitrogen to the soil again without the demand for any chemicals.The global agricultural market is encountering obstacles at present with the deteriorating health of the soil. To combat this, Australian investigators are studying the manufacture of a sustainable...

Future Technologies To Help Farms Meet Net-Zero Goals

Magnetic Material 3D Printed From Nonmagnetic Powder

The 3D printer used in the study. Credit: Oleg Dubinin et alResearchers from Skoltech and their coworkers have used a 3D printer to fuse two products in an alloy whose make-up continuously alters from one region of the sample to other, endowing the alloy with magnetic gradient properties. Regardless of the nonmagnetic nature of...
