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.
Successful Tests of Synthetic Diesel
Continental currently tests the synthetic Diesel fuel OME for climate-neutral driving.
Global Challenges: Editors’ Choice
The editors of Global Challenges share their favorite articles.
Never Say Never
The argument for making synthetic fuel from CO2 using renewable electricity in an increasingly electrified world is by now a familiar one. It hinges on the unlikely scenario that lithium ion batteries will never power the massive fleet of large-volume transportation...
Mitigation and Adaptation in Polycentric Systems
The potential of polycentric governance for promoting both climate mitigation and adaptation is well established. Yet, dominant conceptualizations of polycentric governance pay scant attention to how power dynamics affect the structure and the outcomes of governance.
