Ocean plankton sponge up nearly twice the carbon currently assumed
2013-03-17 21:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Models of carbon dioxide in the world's oceans need to be revised, according to new work by UC Irvine and other scientists published online Sunday in Nature Geoscience. Trillions of plankton near the surface of warm waters are far more carbon-rich than has long been thought, they found. Global marine temperature fluctuations could mean that tiny Prochlorococcus and other microbes digest double the carbon previously calculated. Carbon dioxide is the leading driver of disruptive climate change. In...

Australia: CO2 Emissions Soaked Up By CSIRO Solar Sponge
2013-02-20 07:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A group of scientists at Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia`s national science agency, have created a "solar sponge" using a metal organic framework (MOF) that absorbs carbon dioxide, but releases it when exposed to sunlight. The journal Angewandte Chemie published a paper detailing MOF. The interaction is known as dynamic photo-switching. The capture-and-release method of dynamic photo-switching requires only UV light to trigger the release of collected...

Carbon sponge could soak up coal emissions

ScienceDaily: Emissions from coal power stations could be drastically reduced by a new, energy-efficient material that adsorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide, then releases it when exposed to sunlight. In a study published February 11 in Angewandte Chemie, Monash University and CSIRO scientists for the first time discovered a photosensitive metal organic framework (MOF) -- a class of materials known for their exceptional capacity to store gases. This has created a powerful and cost-effective new tool to capture...
