 Pass the salt please. Power lies within - Apr 25, 2024
PHYS.ORG - Technology (14 Views;1 min.) |
|
| A green industrial future for Europe may depend on an element that is part of a household staple: table salt.\n \nDr John Abou-Rjeily, a researcher at Tiamat Energy in France, is using sodium to develop rechargeable batteries. Sodium is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and is a part of sodium chloride, an ionic compound that is the technical name for ordinary salt.\n\nClick here for the full story âž¡ï¸https://bit.ly/4bbyebW\n\n #ResearchImpactEU |

 Trinidad & Tobago Fights Against Plastic Pollution | United Nations - Apr 25, 2024
Climate Change (United Nations - Playlist) (615 Views;22 min.) |
|
| Small Island Developing States are particularly vulnerable to plastic pollution. As well as coping with a tsunami of waste washes up on their beaches every day, these countries – highly dependent on imports – generate a large amount of plastic waste of their own, and often struggle to manage it.\n\nPlastic pollution has a detrimental effect on the health and livelihoods of people living in small island states, which often lack the means to effectively treat and process it. It’s not great for the economy either: tourists don’t want to hang out on dirty beaches, and marine litter can damage fishing stocks.\n\nConor Lennon from UN News went to Trinidad \u0026 Tobago to see how the UN is working with civil society and the government to not only deal with the waste, but also find a way to reuse it, and take it out of the environment. |

 Underwater robot pioneers new energy-efficient buoyancy control - Apr 25, 2024
PHYS.ORG - Technology (43 Views;2 min.) |
|
| A remotely operated underwater robot built by a team of Rice University engineering students pioneers a new way to control buoyancy via water-splitting fuel cells. The device, designed and constructed at the Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen over the course of a year-long senior design capstone class, offers a more power-efficient method of maintaining neutral buoyancy ⎯ a critical component in underwater operations. |

| While 84,000 delegates attended COP28 in Dubai, just 40,000-50,000 are expected at COP29 in Baku and COP30 in Belém Some of Indonesia's delegation arrive at Cop28 in Dubai (Photos: Kiara Worth) UN climate chief Simon Stiell has said he hopes to see fewer people attend the annual COP climate negotiations after participants at COP28 in Dubai last December hit a record high of nearly 84,000. Stiell said this month that he personally “would certainly like to see future COPs reduce in size”, telling an audience at London’s Chatham House think-tank that “bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better”. In Dubai, where the 2023 summit was held from November 30 to December 13, the Expo City site was so large that important delegates were ferried around on golf buggies while electric scooters were available to get around the public area, known as the Green Zone. “Size does not necessarily translate to the quality of outcomes,” Stiell said in London, noting ... |

 Solar geoengineering: Can it solve the climate crisis? - Apr 23, 2024
Climate Engineering (Lockley - Playlist) (3,257 Views;5 min.) |
|
| On top of cutting down on emissions, solar geoengineering is being touted as an alternative approach to slow global warming — but it is also an unproven technology. \n\nDebate is especially growing about stratospheric aerosol injection, a type of solar geoengineering which could someday help slow the effects of climate change. \n\nEric Sorensen explains the science, benefits and concerns of this potential solution to the climate crisis.\n\nFor more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca\nSubscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc\nLike Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ\nFollow Global News on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt\nFollow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB\n#GlobalNews #solargeoengineering #climatecrisis |

 SUPPORT! Nakivale: Refugee-Led Biochar Enterprise in Uganda. - Apr 23, 2024
Open Air (Carbon Capture) (22 Views;4 min.) |
|
| Farmer entrepreneurs in Nakivale, Uganda, Africa's oldest refugee settlement, are on the brink of taking their biochar production from pilot to sustainable business. With your generous help we can help them get there, improving deteriorated soil, reducing food insecurity and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.\n\nIn 2023, OpenAir members all over the world helped crowdfund phase 1 of this project, funding the manufacture and installation of three biochar kilns in Nakivale. Since that time, the team has been recruited and trained, a regular supply of local waste biomass has been secured, and production has been ramping up daily for several months.\n\nThis amazing progress owes to the commitment and creativity of the Nakivale team, lead by Marius Iragi, himself a Congolese refugee living in the settlement. \n\nIn the coming weeks, enough quality data will have been submitted to enable an independent audit. Pending positive assessment by the auditor, the project will then ... |

 Demystifying Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal - Apr 17, 2024
Climate Engineering (Lockley - Playlist) (75 Views;92 min.) |
|
| More information at: https://www.eesi.org/041624ocean
The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) held a briefing about ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Reaching global climate goals will require not only deep and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, but also large-scale removal of excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. While federal funding for research, development, and demonstration of land-based CDR approaches and technologies has increased significantly in recent years, the ocean also presents opportunities for carbon removal.
The ocean covers 70% of the Earth and serves as its largest carbon sink, holding 42 times the carbon in the atmosphere. Ocean CDR—the practice of removing and storing carbon from the ocean—is garnering increasing scientific, governmental, and private sector interest. At the same time it presents uncertainties related to efficacy, ecosystem impacts, and governance, which ... |
