Clearing the air: Scientists find missing link to calculate atmospheric CO2 for climate change strategy

Bengaluru: Scientists studying plant growth in the Kaziranga region may have found the missing link in calculating carbon dioxide in the air to calibrate...

Cement is a big problem for the environment. It can be made more sustainable

The heating of limestone accounts for 50% of emissions in cement production. So alternative chemistries that replace limestone provide a significant way to cut emissions.

New study finds forests destroyed by wildfires emit carbon long after the flames die

A forest’s CO2 sink recovers slowly, with the burnt area continuing to release CO2 for several years after wildfires die. This exceeds the amount of CO2 produced from the fire itself.

Tiny bright objects emitting ancient starlight could upend theory of galaxy formation

ScientiFix, our weekly feature, offers you a summary of the top global science stories of the week, with links to their sources.

Data could warm you up this winter. And it could be worth $2.5 billion by 2025

Tech companies are using data centres that house their vast servers to heat homes and cut CO2. And it could slash energy bills for consumers.

China is banking on its ‘carbon market’ to reduce its emissions. But it’s not perfect

The world’s largest contributor to CO2 emissions is now implementing the world’s largest market to reduce such emissions.

CO2 can be transformed into animal food. Here’s how

A new product in farm animal feed will help to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

How CO2 can help the construction industry emit less CO2

The production of cement alone accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions. The sector's productivity must be addressed while reducing damage to the environment.

The planet is ready for cars to go electric, but our power systems may not be

Countries have already started banning petrol cars, but we need to ensure there is enough infrastructure to handle an increasing number of electric vehicles.
