Affordable and available technologies can curb rising nitrous oxide emissions

sarah JonasResearch Results

Researchers from IIASA and the University of Maryland have found that nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and stratospheric ozone-depleting substance, could be readily abated with existing technology applied to industrial sources.

Soil study shows why nitrous oxide emissions should factor into climate change mitigation

sarah JonasResearch Results

Poorly drained agricultural soils emit enough of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide that the resulting climate change effects could far exceed the benefits of using the same soils as a means of sequestering carbon, according to a recently published scientific study.
