Scientists have developed a carbon nanocomposite using sodium carbonate that significantly improves carbon dioxide from industrial emissions. Industrial emissions are one of the main sources of carbon dioxide (CO2), the leading greenhouse gas implicated in climate change. While adopting renewable and clean energy alternatives is one option for mitigating these carbon emissions, carbon capture technology is another solution to control CO2 emissions.

Nano-Enhanced Sodium Carbonate Breaks Barriers in Carbon Capture

A major watchdog for corporate sustainability is warning that carbon offset credits are a risky tactic for tackling climate change. The nonprofit organization had faced pressure to soften its stance on carbon credits, which many companies promote as a way to deal with pollution. This week’s findings seem to refute that effort.
