A new study released last week in Science magazine reports that new areas of methane gas emission release has been discovered around the margins of the Arctic Ocean.
The new study was conducted by researchers from the University of Alaska that are trying to research the amount of methane gas emissions released from within the Arctic [...]
Recycling is always better than just throwing away and when it comes to old rubber tires, recycling old tires is always the best option.
Until recently, there were only a few uses for old tires so the majority of all tires were just ground into smaller rubber pellets and placed in landfills. However, this process uses [...]
The airline industry has made a lot of progress in trying to Go Green recently and even the U.S. Air Force is making a lot of progress with algae-based biofuels. The latest announcement comes from British Airways and their new biofuel facility.
British Airways has recently announced plans to develop a new form of waste-to-energy landfill [...]
There seems to be a wave of breakthroughs occurring within the solar power industry and the most recent announcement has come from scientists working on solar cell technology at the California Institute of Technology (CalTech).
The latest solar cell from CalTech appears as if it will be setting the new standard in solar technology assuming the [...]
A new study from U.C. Berkley scientists suggest that climate change may be threatening the survival of the Redwoods along the coast of California.
The scientists have been researching the temperature readings from 114 weather stations along the west coast as far back as 110 years as well as area fog readings since 1951.
The U.C. Berkley [...]
It is unclear when the governments of the world will finally come together and tackle the climate issue on a united front, but when the governments seem to fail private sector world leaders step forward.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has decided to add another element to his philanthropic giving and research.
Bill Gates has decided to take [...]
In the most recent publication of a trade journal called Advanced Materials, International Business Machines (IBM) has announced a breakthrough in solar cell technology.
IBM has managed to develop and more efficient and more cost effective solar cell made from more abundant minerals.
The IBM solar cells use Copper, Tin, Zinc, Sulfur, and Selenium instead of Copper, [...]
Another advancement in technology may one day make our personal electronic gadgets even more Green and energy efficient.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed, created, and constructed the world’s first solar powered circuit.
For a few years now the only way to have a solar powered personal device was with a external device or chunky [...]
Wind turbines and “farms” are being to show up in the most unlikely of places. This week, 3 wind turbines have finally begun operating in Antarctica.
Antarctica is one of the harshest environments in the world yet many scientists risk their lives to study in these conditions to determine how we are effecting the environment.
Typically, these [...]
A new study, authored by scientists from such institutions as Rutgers University and Columbia University, have discovered that basalt formations could present a huge repository for carbon dioxide emissions.
Some preliminary results from lab work conducted by the scientists shows that the basalt formations are extremely effective at storing carbon dioxide.
However, that’s not all the basalt [...]
