Carbon accounting is an essential tool for businesses, governments and individuals striving to understand and reduce their impact on climate change. It plays a crucial role in advancing sustainability goals, promoting environmentally responsible practices and, therefore, meetingenvironmental, social and gover...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common greenhouse gas emitted by human activities. As a result, all other major GHGs are given a carbon dioxide equivalent or CO2e. This is determined by multiplying the amount of a GHG by its global warming potential (GWP). A gas’s GWP is a measure ...
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon, same substance with different atom configuration. Atoms in diamond form a strong bond in the shape of tetrahedron, resulting in a very strong substance. Graphite is another allotrope of carbon, but atoms are bonded in a different way, it is more of a plana...
There is a legal requirement for all obligated producers to report detailed data on the packaging they handle and supply in the UK. Large producers must also cover the cost of collecting and recycling their packaging. This encourages the use of minimised, easier-to-recycle and reusable packaging...
000 tossed in your household trash each year. Not only is this inefficient, but also the food generally winds up in landfills, where it produces large amounts of methane—a gas that’s 25 times more harmful to the environment than car...

Carbon accounting, or greenhouse gas accounting, is the process of quantifying the number of greenhouse gases (GHGs) produced directly and indirectly from a business’s or organization’s activities within a set of boundaries. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common greenhouse gas emitted by human...
Direct air capture (DAC), which is a method of harvesting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, has existed since the 1940s. The estimated cost of deploying DAC technology vary from $60/ton of captured CO2 at the low end to $1,000/ton of CO2 captured and regenerated. Image:Veeterzy,CC0...
