A wave of peer-reviewed research now shows that resins derived from plants and wood can match or exceed the mechanical ...

As greenhouse effects become increasingly prominent, soil carbon has been a major focus of research on climate change. Soil microorganisms are the key groups that drive soil carbon transformation. Due ...

A new life-cycle analysis reveals that bio-based plastics are better for the climate but worse for biodiversity. The greenest ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team in Taiwan has engineered a new way for plants to absorb and use carbon dioxide, potentially reshaping the fight against ...

Imagine investing in sustainable materials, only to be told you can’t fully count the climate benefits. That’s the reality facing many brands that use renewable, plant-based plastics — and it largely ...

Concrete is one of the quiet foundations of modern life, yet it is also one of the dirtiest materials humanity produces. A new generation of bio-concrete aims to flip that script, using living ...

New research shows that early land plants started influencing Earth’s climate hundreds of millions of years earlier than ...

As revealed in a recent Airbus (Toulouse, France) article, “Developing biocomposites that are fit to fly,” the aerospace company is introducing bio-derived materials to aircraft production that can ...

When biomass, including crop residues, wood, and other organic materials, is subjected to heat to generate clean energy and biochar, it produces a viscous liquid called bio-tar. If it escapes into the ...

Your idea is to use materials like bio-brick, hempcrete, timber and bio-crete to reduce the carbon impact of construction, and integrated biomass and algae on the façades to capture carbon. How will ...

Carbon is found all around the Earth, including in our bodies. While most of the carbon can be found in the geosphere, it is also found in all living things, soil, in the ocean, and in the atmosphere.
