Biden pushes throttle on carbon removal, boosting industry
The Biden administration is taking big steps to advance carbon removal – announcing funding up to $1.2 billion to establish two direct air capture hubs in Louisiana and Texas. The administration is also expected to announce details of a new…
FAU Lands $2 Million for ‘Center for Equitable Transit-Oriented Communities’
The center will focus on “Preserving the Environment,” to support the U.S. DOT’s climate solution and sustainability goals. The center will promote transit access, multimodal infrastructure, compact and efficient land use patterns, as well as resilience and climate mitigation and adaptation.
Electrification push will have enormous impacts on critical metals supply chain
The demand for battery-grade lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and platinum will climb steeply as vehicle electrification speeds up and nations work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through mid-century. This surge in demand will also create a variety of economic and supply-chain problems, according to new Cornell University research published in Nature Communications.
Long-forgotten equation provides new tool for converting carbon dioxide
To manage atmospheric carbon dioxide and convert the gas into a useful product, Cornell University scientists have dusted off an archaic – now 120 years old – electrochemical equation.
From methane to microbes: Cornell’s 2030 Project conveys first grants
The first “Moving Research to Impact” fast grants have been awarded to Cornell University faculty, funded by the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability as part of the 2030 Project: A Cornell Climate Initiative, which is mobilizing faculty to develop and accelerate tangible solutions to a warming world.
Cornell energy center receives $12.6 million in renewed funding for advanced fuel cell tech research
Cornell University’s Center for Alkaline-Based Energy Solutions (CABES) has received renewal funding of $12.6 million for a four-year period to continue its work developing advanced fuel cell technologies in alkaline media.
Scientists evaluate Earth-cooling strategies with geoengineering simulations
A group of international scientists led by Cornell University is – more rigorously and systematically than ever before – evaluating if and how the stratosphere could be made just a little bit “brighter,” reflecting more incoming sunlight so that an ever-warming Earth maintains its cool.
