1. Carbon Cycle: How Carbon Moves Through Nature This article explains the carbon cycle, which is the process by which carbon is transferred from the atmosphere, through plants and animals, and back into the atmosphere. The article explains how carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels, how plants store carbon, and how carbon is released through respiration, decomposition, and burning. It also discusses how human activities such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels can disrupt the cycle. 2. Scientists Uncover Key to Carbon Cycle This article discusses the findings of a recent study that has revealed the role that bacteria play in the carbon cycle. The study found that bacteria are able to move carbon from the ocean to the atmosphere, creating a “biogeochemical cycle” that helps regulate the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. The findings could help scientists better understand how the carbon cycle works and how human activities are affecting it. 3. Video: Carbon Cycle This video provides a visual explanation of the carbon cycle and how it works. It explains how carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, how plants take it in, and how the carbon is recycled through respiration, decomposition, and
Read the full story from Tufts University. Researchers have created a bioengineered yeast that can grow efficiently on a wide range of sugars from agricultural waste biomass, closing a carbon cycle for the biosynthesis of fuels, pharmaceuticals and plastics.
Read the full story from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Wildfires are an ancient force shaping the environment, but they have grown in frequency, range and intensity in response to a changing climate. Scientists are working on several fronts to better understand and predict these events and what they mean for the carbon cycle and biodiversity.
Read the full story from Northwestern University. The Earth has a natural self-regulation system for balancing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere: the long-term carbon cycle. During one phase of the cycle, carbon dioxide (CO2) reacts with water and rocks to transform carbon into a compound that is stable in water over tens to hundreds…
Read the full story from the University of Minnesota. Researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to provide accurate, high-resolution predictions of carbon cycles in agroecosystems, which could help mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Carbonfuture, the leading provider of high-integrity durable carbon removal, has announced a partnership with XPRIZE. Valued at $100M, XPRIZE Carbon Removal aims to fight climate change and rebalance the Earth’s carbon cycle.
Zhang, Z., Zhao, K., Yi, P., Hu, S., & Jin, Y. (2024). "Transition of chemical production pattern motivated by CO2 utilization: Multi-dimensional evaluation and future projections." Chemical Engineering Journal, 488, 150827. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2024.150827 Abstract Carbon dioxide utilization (CDU) for chemical production is beneficial for achieving carbon neutrality and constructing an artificial carbon cycle. However, the industrialization…
