Carbon-Neutral Aviation Fuel and Its Creation

Recently, water, CO2, and sunlight were successfully used to create carbon-neutral aviation fuel. While carbon dioxide (CO2) is usually synonymous with air pollution and is often shown in a negative light, new uses for CO2 are being discovered. The design and production of this new aviation fuel is a good example. The importance of aviation ...

New Paper Points to Soil Pore Structure as Key to Carbon Storage

Alexandra Kravchenko, Michigan State University professor in the Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences, and several of her colleagues recently discovered a new mechanism determining how carbon storage in soils takes place that could improve the climate resilience of cropping systems and also reduce their carbon footprints. The findings, published in the scientific journal Nature ...
