The article reports that HICCUPS, an innovative technology, aims to convert biogenic carbon dioxide from wastewater treatment plants into biobased polymers, specifically PLGA, for the packaging industry. Topics include the creation of PLGA, a biodegradable polymer with favorable properties, the potential for replacing widely used fossil polyethylene (PE), and the demonstration of PLGA's suitability through the production of packaging materials like PLGA film-coated paper and molded plastic.

When it comes to long-range vehicles, carbon-based fuel combined with on-board CO2 capture is arguably the best way to make these vehicles CO2 neutral." When people talk about how to eliminate vehicles' carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, often the conversation often focuses on electrifying cars, trucks and buses. Now a Northwestern University research team offers a practical way to make ships CO2 neutral -- or even CO2 negative -- with CO2-capturing solid oxide fuel cells. [Extracted from the article]

The article presents the discussion on salt playing a significant role in the energy transition for lowering carbon energy sources transfering heat to geothermal facilities and to impact carbon dioxide storage.

Deals with the misinterpretation of a study on global warming by climate researcher James Hansen. Implication of the misinterpretation of Hansen's work on the issue of climate change in the United States; Position of Hansen on global warming; Environmental impact of carbon-dioxide emissions; Comments on the study of global warming by Hansen.

The article presents the discussion on Salt playing a significant role in the energy transition for lowering carbon energy sources transfering heat to geothermal facilities, and to impact carbon dioxide storage.

The article reports on a research paper entitled "Carbon Nanotubes Produced from Ambient Carbon Dioxide for Environmentally Sustainable Lithium-Ion and Sodium-Ion Battery Anodes" by professors Cary Pint and Stuart Licht. The study describes the conversion of carbon dioxide gas into batteries. The carbon nanotubes produced from a solar-powered process can be incorporated into both lithium-ion batteries and low cost sodium-ion batteries.

The article reports on a paper titled 'Adsorbate-Mediated Strong Metal-Support Interactions in Oxide-Supported Rh Catalysts' published in the September 19, 2016 issue of the journal "Nature Chemistry" which offers a better understanding of conversion of carbon dioxide to natural gas.

The article discusses the creation of a molecular system to absorb carbon dioxide by the researchers of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It discusses their research for carbon dioxide reduction catalyst into crystals of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and discusses its importance for developing homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts for carbon dioxide.

The article reports on the study from the University of Illinois at Chicago and the U.S. Department of Energy indicating the possible conversion of carbon dioxide into an energy source through sunlight. It mentions that the application of a catalyst known as tungsten di-selenide in the process. An overview of the perspective of the study's author and chemist Larry Curtiss on the challenges of carbon dioxide sequestration is also presented.

The article discusses a study published in the periodical "Science," which claims that government biofuel policies rely on food consumption on reductions in order to generate greenhouse gas savings. Topics discussed include the reduction of carbon dioxide generation due to less food consumption; the views of Timothy Searchinger, one of the author of the study; on it; and the use of crops to produce biofuels instead of being used as food.

The article informs that two Tucson-based based companies are involved in a project to build a system to remove the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. The groundbreaking work is being done by Allen Wright, of Global Research Technologies, and his brother Burton Wright, of Kelly, Wright Associates, who decided to use their combined talents to create a wind scrubber--a structure that will capture and store excess CO2. CO2 emissions, a byproduct of automobile engines, power plants and other fossil fuel building industries, are blamed for the threat of global warming.
