Canada is fast running out of time to implement policies to slash greenhouse gas emissions in order to meet its Paris Agreement target, the environment commissioner warned Thursday.
"The stakes grow ever higher each year, and the window of opportunity to reduce emissions and meet Canada's 2030 target is rapidly closing," Environment Commissioner Jerry DeMarco said, presenting a report on the

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has positioned itself as a "transition" fuel to replace highly polluting coal. While LNG burns cleaner than coal, its climate impact is darkened by energy-intensive production and frequent leaks from gas fields.
- Why is LNG so popular? -
Global demand for natural gas is expected to rise by 2.5 percent in 2024 to a record level, mostly driven by LNG.

Cities worldwide face rising temperatures, with urban areas particularly vulnerable due to heat absorption by concrete and asphalt. Tree-planting programs are a popular strategy to counteract urban heat, yet these initiatives often rely on estimates rather than precise science. A study published in 'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences' now provides urban planners with a new tool to e

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have unveiled a pioneering approach to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into ethanol, providing a sustainable alternative for chemical applications and energy storage. This technique, led by Professor Carsten Streb from JGU's Department of Chemistry, offers a pathway to repurpose CO2 emissions as part of a closed-loop carbon cycle, with the po

Before they can ever safely power up, future nuclear reactors will need to be designed and built from innovative, well-tested materials. Three Texas A and M Ph.D. students and one postdoctoral researcher will take part in supporting this effort with funding through Rapid Turnaround Experiment (RTE) projects.
The RTE program provides researchers with resources at universities and national l

Bio-based materials, often promoted as eco-friendly replacements for conventional plastics, may present more significant risks to certain vital species than the plastic materials they aim to replace, according to a recent study.
These materials are widely used in textiles and products such as clothing, wet wipes, and menstrual products, promoted for their reduced environmental impact. Howe
