Despite reports that global emissions of the potent greenhouse gas, HFC-23, were almost eliminated in 2017, an international team of scientists, led by the University of Bristol, has found atmospheric levels growing at record values. As a result, they reported that they had almost completely eliminated HFC-23 emissions by 2017. Resources.

Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have performed life cycle assessments (LCA) of three batteries for plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and full performance battery electric (BEV) vehicles. Flow diagram of the battery system, defined by the functional unit of 50 MJ stored and delivered to the powertrain.

For example, the life cycle impacts of the conventional battery pack using carbon graphite are dominated by the battery use phase which contributes to 78% of ADP, 78% of GWP, 64% of AP, 75% of EP, 80% of POP, and 83% of HTP. Units of the X-axis values are different and shown under each impact category name on Y-axis. Credit: ACS, Li et al.

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco have engineered the industrial yeast S. They can also be used as intermediates for the chemical synthesis of more complex carbon compounds such as fuel hydrocarbons. fermentans for carbon and energy, and A. cerevisiae for metabolism of toxic waste products.
