Climate affects microorganism in stabilizing carbon
How is the microorganism contribution to carbon sequestration in paddy soil relevant to the climate? Chinese researchers have recently solved the puzzle. Carbon sequestration is a process involving the carbon…
Wood products mitigate global carbon emissions
A new research disclosed that the world's wood products including all the paper, furniture and more offset just 1 percent of annual global carbon emissions by locking away carbon in…
LG launched its aggressive Zero Carbon 2030 initiative
LG Electronics (LG) has launched its aggressive Zero Carbon 2030 initiative, committing to achieving net-zero carbon emissions from its global operations within 12 years. In line with its larger sustainable…
Metro Pakistan,shams power goes solar to cut down emissions
Metro Cash & Carry Pakistan has entered into a long term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Shams Power to install and operate solar power plant at their stores all over Pakistan.…
New technique to turn CO2 into rock for cleaner air
Scientists are turning the world's most dangerous greenhouse gas CO2 into solid stone using new technology that mimics a process of carbon being absorbed by basalt rock that could help…
Grasslands hike in response to elevated CO2 levels
Vegetation biomass on grasslands increases in response to elevated carbon dioxide CO2 levels, but less than expected. Vegetation on grasslands with a wet spring season has the greatest increase. This…
Researchers turning carbon dioxide (CO2) into coal
Researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne have developed technology that can convert carbon dioxide gas into particles of what is essentially pure soot 'coal'. Researchers come up with a long…
Carbon uptake of the terrestrial ecosystem in the northern hemisphere
Chinese scientists have found the summer carbon uptake of the terrestrial ecosystem in the northern hemisphere has been significantly weakened by ongoing climate warming. In other words, warmer years were…
Carbon sink may turn into carbon source due to climate change
The National Academy of Sciences showed that ecosystems like oceans and forests, may stop absorbing carbon from the atmosphere but start emitting it, due to the human-induced climate change. Those…
Nation hits carbon emissions goal early
China has met its goal of reducing its carbon intensity－emissions per unit of GDP－three years before schedule. But more global effort is required to reduce the world's emissions of greenhouse…
Pakistan picked for Forest Carbon Partnership Facility
Pakistan has become a member of Forest Carbon Partnership Facility along with other members like US and Tanzania. During the 10th annual meeting of the Participants Committee in Luang Prabang,…
Carbon footprint and its approximation in farm sector
The carbon footprint is a measurement of the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) released into the atmosphere, produced as a result of direct and indirect human. It…
French agency assures support to a low-carbon Pakistan
STAFF REPORT ISB: Pascal Pacaut, Director for the Asia Region at the French Agency for Development (AFD), during his recent visit to Pakistan, called on Minister for Climate Change…
Carbon Capture and Sequestration: Carbon diamond in rough
This is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, transferring it to a storage site, and…

Carbon footprint and its approximation in agriculture sector
The carbon footprint is a measurement of the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) released into the atmosphere, produced as a result of direct and indirect human. It…
Carbon sequestration: A strategy to mitigate climate change
Anthropogenic activities, especially burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas have caused significant increase of CO2 in the atmosphere from about 280 to 380…
Agricultural pollution: Is nitrogen taking place of Carbon?
Nitrogen is a major constituent about 78% of the composite of all atmospheric gases. This inert nitrogen is biologically unavailable to most of the organisms. Therefore, application…
