The combustion of fossil fuel acts as a principal source of carbon dioxide (CO2) and is still contributing to its continuous rise in the atmosphere. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have significantly increased since the preindustrial era and future projections predict that its concentration ...
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is thus approximately 2.98 × 1015 kg, with an average CO2 concentration of around 385 ppm [60], [61]. Fig. 1 presents the industrial CO2 emissions during the period from 1990 to 2020 [62]. The data in Fig. 1 shows that the annual CO2 emissions ...
Since the start of the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere have increased dramatically (from 278 ppm pre-industrial to currently 417 ppm) (Rudd2022). CO2absorbs and radiates heat and is the most important greenhouse gas. The oceans are the greatest ally against ...
With rising levels of CO2 in our atmosphere, technologies capable of converting CO2 into useful products have become more valuable. The field of electrochemical CO2 reduction is reviewed here, with sections on mechanism, formate (formic acid) production, carbon monoxide production, reduction to higher...
Changes in the atmospheric reservoir of CO2 occur when there is an imbalance between surface sources and sinks of CO2. While the global land and ocean areas emit approximately 30 times as much CO2 into the atmosphere as humans produce from burning of fossil fuels, they also absorb about an eq...
returns CO2recently fixed by the forest vegetation to the atmosphere. Our results expose a positive feedback mechanism within the C budget of forested catchments, where stream CO2emissions will be highly sensitive to changes in forest C allocation patterns associated with climate and land-use ...

Briefly, microalgae play a vital role in the sustainability of our planet, mainly because it reduces the environmental impact of transforming CO2 into O2. Microalgae are rapid-growth microorganisms, that reach high cell productivity in a short time and use mainly sunlight as an energy source. They...
This leads to further reduction of air change in majority of the dwellings. One consequence is poor indoor air quality. The other may be moisture levels high enough to damage the construction. The current Greenlandic building code does not require use of complex ventilation systems. Lack of ...
alters the urban energy and water balance (ADB2015; Jiang et al.2018). Such alterations lead to unique conditions in urban climates, such as the urban heat island (UHI) effect, while intensifying the impact of extreme heat events (Patricola and Wehner2018; Shi et al.2017; Zhang et al.201...
