Intellectual Property Policies for Solar Geoengineering
What role may solar geoengineernig play in addressing climate effects of human-generated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions?
Artificial Photosynthesis: A Big Leap for Powering the Globe
The burgeoning development and sustained production of advances in the booming field of solar-to-energy conversion have inspired a Special Issue specifically dedicated to “Artificial Photosynthesis: Mimicking Nature for Renewable Energy Production” – guest editors Wee-Jun Ong, Zhiqun Lin and Kazunari Domen.
Pollution Risks of Historic Landfills on Coasts and Estuaries
Historic landfills are frequently unlined with no leachate management and inadequate records of the waste they contain, which means there is a very limited understanding of the environmental risk posed if the waste erodes into estuarine or coastal waters.
Economic Growth and Development with Low-Carbon Energy
An overview article, which has been published in WIREs Energy and Environment, explores the growth consequences of the shift to a low-carbon economy.
Carbon Dioxide to Stay in the Ground
University of Stuttgart partners with Montana State University to conduct research on the long term underground storage of carbon dioxide.
Adapting to Hurricanes: A Long-Term Historical Perspective on New Orleans (1718-2005)
A summary and results of a five-year research project on cultural adaptation to hurricane disasters in New Orleans from the city’s foundation in the French Colonial period 1718 to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 is presented.
Battery Power: Electricity and Chemicals from CO2
Of interest to the field of CO2 utilization is the adaptation of the above described energy storage system into one capable of fixing CO2 into a useful product, in this particular case carbon.
Turning Down the Heat on Solar Fuels – Chimie Douce
Musings on “solar fuels machines” for an efficient, scalable and cost-effective way to convert water and carbon dioxide into value added molecular energy carriers.
Slicing the Pie: How Big Could Carbon Dioxide Removal Be?
If 2°C warming by 2100 is to be prevented, it will become important to adopt strategies that not only avoid CO2 emissions, but also allow for the direct removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.
