Carbon Sink: The Solution to Carbon Capture May Be Hiding in Your Bathroom

First the good news. Carbon dioxide emissions from coal have been falling over the last five years in the U.S., hitting the lowest point for any quarter since 1986 in March 2012. Cheap natural gas allowed utilities to cut back on coal, the most “carbon-intense” fossil fuel used for power generation. But coal-fired power plants are not going away anytime soon in the U.S., and countries ...

Bionic leaf can fuel energy revolution

Scientists in the US claim to have beaten nature at its own game. They have created a “bionic leaf” that exploits sunlight to create biomass − and they say their invention is now 10 times more effective than an oak or maple leaf. Two separate laboratories at Harvard University have co-operated to devise, enhance and test a system that uses sunlight to split water molecules and ...
