Hydrates: A novel method to achieve carbon neutrality

A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have proposed achieving carbon neutrality by storing CO2 emissions in the form of hydrates under ocean floor sediments. Are hydrates a plausible solution to tackling CO2 emissions? Scientists have proposed that...

The density of snowshoe hares reveals information about forest ecosystems

Scientists utilise new camera trapping methods to reveal the density of snowshoe hares, and what that data reflects about other animal communities and the habitats they live in. The number of hares in a forest is a good indicator of...

Connecting the global rare earth industry

The Global Rare Earth Industry Association (REIA) describes the aims and priorities of the organisation. The Global Rare Earth Industry Association (REIA) was founded in 2019 with the support of the EU Commission as a non-profit organisation representing the rare...

Scientists aim to reduce noise pollution in Switzerland

A research team from Empa address the levels of noise pollution in Swiss cities and intend to reduce it—starting with railways. How do scientists intend to reduce noise pollution? Railway noise is considered ‘unhealthy,’ which is why hundreds of millions of...

Scientists to develop car made solely from recycled materials

A research team from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), intend to develop a car that is 100% constructed from recycled materials. What impact is the current manufacturing process having on the climate? A lot of a car’s parts...

Wild salmon are getting smaller due to aquaculture

Researchers from Finland used genetic methods to determine if a fishery for an aquaculture fish food source, combined with changes in salmon fishing, are causing wild salmon sizes to reduce. The study, published recently in journal Science, revealed that the shrinking...

How should the UK responsibly source critical minerals?

The Critical Minerals Association’s ‘Blueprint for Responsible Sourcing of Critical Minerals’ outlines how the UK needs to secure critical minerals to enable the UK’s Green Industrial Revolution. The IPCC’s Climate Change 2021 report outlines pathways to limit global warming to...
