New solutions for making smart farms carbon negative

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have announced the launch of three new projects that aim to develop new solutions for making smart farms carbon negative. A new project series, by innovators at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), holds the potential...

Sustainable wood derived PPE to protect against COVID-19

West Virginia University researchers have received $200,000 to develop wood derived PPE to protect against COVID-19. The environmental impact of COVID-19 is still largely unknown. While there have been reports of reduced air pollution, there has also been a surge...

Agroforestry defends coffee production from climate change

Scientists at Wageningen University and Research have discovered that by utilising agroforestry systems in their plantations, coffee farmers can shield their product against climate change. The study, published in Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, explores how climate shifts may affect the...

Scientists develop a method of using shadows to generate electricity

Researchers have developed a way of using shadows to generate electricity, offering a potentially sustainable alternative to fossil fuel powered electricity. This novel concept developed by National University of Singapore (NUS), offers a new approach to sustainably generating electricity. The NUS...

Are we underestimating the volume of microplastics in the ocean?

A recent study, led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory, suggests researchers have grossly underestimated the volume of microplastics in the ocean. A new paper, published in Environmental Pollution, suggests that there are far more microplastics in the ocean than previously predicted. Professor...

Global carbon emissions continue to drop due to COVID-19 lockdowns

Depending on the duration of global lockdowns, researchers have suggested that daily carbon emissions will decrease by 17%. A new study, published in Nature Climate Change, shows that daily carbon emissions have decreased by 17%. A 17 million tonne reduction...

New compostable bioplastic to extend the shelf life of food

An EU-funded project has created bioplastics from essential oils, cheese whey and almond shells. Once made into packaging, this polymer can extend the shelf life of food and reduce food waste. New results from the EU-funded project YPACK suggest that...
