As they found in previous studies, the researchers saw that activated carbon increased cell growth rates by 16% at a low concentration of 5 µg/mL. (acs.org)
The researchers used a new biogeochemical model to simulate how applying crushed basalt to global croplands would draw down carbon dioxide, to test the sensitivity of enhanced rock weathering to climate and to pinpoint the areas where the method could be most effective. (sciencedaily.com)
The researchers also think that carbon offsetting, as an environmental strategy, is strongly questionable, particularly from social and environmental justice perspectives. (lu.se)

Announcing the new plant, BMW and SGL , both headquartered in Germany, said the decision to build the carbon fibre plant in Moses Lake was based primarily on the availability of renewable energy (hydropower) and competitive energy costs in the state of Washington. (reinforcedplastics.com)
The dashboard is made from a renewable plant fiber, the seat trims from recycled plastic bottles. (tnj.com)

Higher peaks and more seasonally variable microbial activity were found under exotic plants and, like drought periods, the microbial community shifted towards osmotic stress life-strategies. (nature.com)
Soil microbial community responses to drought and exotic plants could potentially impact ecosystem C storage by producing a smaller, more vulnerable C pool of microbial biomass that is prone to increased pulses of heterotrophic respiration. (nature.com)

The carbon dioxide from this project will be routed to the Scottish Cluster's Acorn CO2 transport and storage project, resulting in reductions of more than one million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year. (ineos.com)

Jacobi Carbons has developed a full range of activated carbons for municipal odor control, covering standard virgin carbons in both granular (EcoSorb CX) and pelletized (EcoSorb GXB) forms, water-washable catalytic carbon (AddSorb KC-Plus), impregnated grades (AddSorb VA3) and high H2S capacity pellet (AddSorb OX30).

The plant, and art installation are expected to be completed by 2017. (popsci.com)

The funding will facilitate the company's transition from producing textile acrylic fiber to polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor for conversion to carbon fiber (precursor fiber). (nawindpower.com)

The facility in Moses Lake will convert the polyacrylic fibres into carbon fibres. (reinforcedplastics.com)
This new plant in Moses Lake is a milestone in the use of carbon fibres for large scale production in the automotive industry," said Robert Koehler, CEO SGL Group. (reinforcedplastics.com)
Offsetting the heavy weight of the car?s lithium-ion battery, the carbon fiber produced in Moses Lake provides the shell for the passenger cabin, which is then sheathed in thermoplastic exterior panels. (tnj.com)

The analysis , published in the journal Global Change Biology , found that in some instances invading species - conventionally regarded as harmful - boosted the carbon storage potential of salt marshes, mangrove woodland and seagrass beds by as much as 117%, more than doubling the "natural" capacity. (cosmosmagazine.com)
The finding, from a team led by Ian Davidson from the Smithsonian Environmental Research Centre (SERC) in the US, could point to a way to mitigate the carbon storage loss arising from the destruction of about 8000 square-kilometres of coastal wilderness each year. (cosmosmagazine.com)
The boost to carbon storage capacity did not necessarily outweigh negative effects such as loss of habitat and biodiversity. (cosmosmagazine.com)
The information contained in this study can help managers make decisions if carbon storage is a function they want to enhance. (cosmosmagazine.com)
Some other carbon drawdown approaches, such as those that rely on soil organic carbon storage, become less effective with continual warming. (sciencedaily.com)

A commitment to exploring carbon border adjustments by working with like-minded economies, including the European Union and the United States. (theglobeandmail.com)
In most cases, the participants do not know how much compensation they can expect, even though the project entails their long-term commitment to ceding their land for tree-planting. (lu.se)

Booth says there is wide agreement in the industry that when biomass comes from forestry residues, wood products manufacturing, or agriculture, the net carbon impact is the difference between emissions from the use of the material as fuel and emissions from some other fate, such as leaving it on the ground to decompose. (greenbuildingadvisor.com)
In contrast to that image, our study shows that such side-effects are anything but automatic and that there is a great distance between the small-holders' reality and the abstract approach to forestry that characterises the market for carbon offsetting. (lu.se)

Relationships found between microbial taxonomic groups and carbon metabolic genes support the interpretation that exotic plants change microbial carbon cycling by altering the soil microclimate and supplying easily decomposed high-quality litter. (nature.com)

Even when properly identified and prepared, the concentrations of active substances in plants can differ depending on growing conditions (e.g., location, season), as well as harvesting and processing methods. (cdc.gov)

Mark Carney, the former Bank of England boss, has recently produced a plan to increase the scale of the voluntary carbon market to US$100 billion a year (up from $300 million), and it's backed by the great and the good of business and finance. (lowimpact.org)
