The Doerr School announced the recipients of its first grants to fund greenhouse gas removal projects despite ongoing conservancy of accepting funding from fossil fuel companies.
As part of its annual report on its environmental efforts, Apple has announced that its overall greenhouse gas emissions are now down 55% since 2015. Apple is working to use alternative energy supplies including wind Ahead of Earth Day on April 22, Apple has issued its now annual Environmental Progress Report. It says the 55% cut represents important progress in its intention to become carbon neutral by 2030. "The proof of Apple's commitment to climate action is in our progress," said...
Increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) are having irreversible consequences for the future of the Earth. However, the general pattern of the impacts of ecological restoration on the three major GHGs on a global scale has not yet been analyzed.
State revealed as America’s overwhelming emitter of sulfuryl fluoride, used by $4.2bn pest-control industry to kill termitesLevels of a potent greenhouse gas are quietly spiking in the atmosphere and increasingly worrying environmental groups that say its use needs to be reined in if the US is to avoid climate catastrophe.Furthermore, recent research has found the vast majority of the little-known gas, known as sulfuryl fluoride, is attributable to a state typically known for its climate-forward...
The upgrades are due to requiring an additional 25 gigawatts of power, which is equivalent to more than 62 million solar panels. Scientists found Californians will also have to pay the $20 billion bill.
Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have warned that 99 per cent of birds could be wiped out by 2100, if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at the current levels.
Reducing food waste also benefits planet Earth: the more nutrition can be extracted from a single plant, the fewer need to be grown, while also reducing the greenhouse gases released
There has never been a more exciting time to work in conservative energy politics.
A "rapid and far-reaching change" is necessary to prevent catastrophic climate change, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). "However, the transformation of the economy towards climate neutrality always involves a certain amount of economic stress—some industries and jobs disappear while others are created," explains Johannes Stangl from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH). When it comes to climate policy measures, how can economic damage be minimized?
The Port of New Orleans has received millions of dollars for sustainability efforts and the reduction of truck emissions.
Extracting natural gas from shale formations can provide an abundant, lower-carbon footprint fossil fuel, but also creates concerns over increased methane emissions. A team led by Penn State researchers has developed a new tool that can estimate the emission potential of shale wells after they are no longer active.
In Vietnam, farmers reduce methane emissions by changing how they grow rice
