Carbon sinks: Issues, markets, policy
With reducing carbon emissions on the national agenda, a group of expert panelists will discuss methods, markets, testing and policy issues on how carbon sinks or carbon sequestration may be used to reduce atmospheric CO2. view more (2008-09-29)
Invititation to the Media - Soils as carbon sinks-a breathing space in the race against global warming?
Can we use land carbon sinks as a way to buy time for the restructuring of our energy generation? "We estimate soil carbon sinks could mitigate 8% of the EU`s emissions if major changes were made in land use and agricultural management ," says Professor David Powlson of IACR Rothamsted. However; How many of the land-use options are practicable?... view more... (2002-06-26)
Forests' long-term potential for carbon offsetting
As well as cutting our fossil fuel emissions, planting new forests, or managing existing forests or agricultural land more effectively can capitalise on nature's ability to act as a carbon sink. view more (2008-04-15)
Kentucky Geological Survey involved in global climate change research
Researchers at the Kentucky Geological Survey are studying options to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is produced by the burning of coal, gasoline, and natural gas and has been linked to global warming. view more (2005-07-15)
Study Finds Plenty of Carbon Dioxide Storage Capacity Underground in Kentucky
As concern has grown over the effects of the human release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the atmosphere, so too has research into technologies to manage CO2. view more (2006-10-09)
Incentives for carbon sequestration may not protect species
Paying rural landowners in Oregon's Willamette Basin to protect at-risk animals won't necessarily mean that their newly conserved trees and plants will absorb more carbon from the atmosphere and vice versa, a new study has found. view more (2008-07-08)
Scientists use lasers to measure changes to tropical forests
New technology deployed on airplanes is helping scientists quantify landscape-scale changes occurring to Big Island tropical forests from non-native plants and other environmental factors that affect carbon sequestration. view more (2009-01-26)
Beneficial effects of no-till farming depend upon future climate change
By storing carbon in their fields through no-till farming practice, farmers can help countries meet targeted reductions in atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce the harmful effects of global warming. view more (2005-10-13)
Finding the Real Potential of No-Till Farming for Sequestering Carbon
The potential of no-tillage (NT) soils for increasing the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool must be critically and objectively assessed. Most of the previous studies about SOC accrual in NT soils have primarily focused on the surface layer (<20-cm soil depth), and not for the whole soil profile. The lack of adequate data on the SOC profile is a... view more... (2008-05-07)
Climate change will affect carbon sequestration in oceans, model shows
The direct injection of carbon dioxide deep into the ocean has been suggested as one method to help control rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming. view more (2005-09-08)
Scientists say climate change mitigation strategies ignore carbon cycling processes of inland waters
In the paper, The Boundless Carbon Cycle, published in the September issue of Nature Geoscience, scientists from the University of Vienna, Uppsala University in Sweden, University of Antwerp, and the U.S. based Stroud™ Water Research Center argue that current international strategies to mitigate manmade carbon emissions and address climate... view more...

Report on US-China collaboration on carbon capture and sequestration
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Julio Friedmann, in collaboration with the Center for American Progress, the Asia Society Center and with partner Monitor Group, today released the report, "A Roadmap for U.S.-China Collaboration on Carbon Capture and Sequestration." view more (2009-11-05)
Forest fire prevention efforts will lessen carbon sequestration, add to greenhouse warming
Widely sought efforts to reduce fuels that increase catastrophic fire in Pacific Northwest forests will be counterproductive to another important societal goal of sequestering carbon to help offset global warming. view more (2009-07-09)
Compost can turn agricultural soils into a carbon sink, thus protecting against climate change
Applying organic fertilizers, such as those resulting from composting, to agricultural land could increase the amount of carbon stored in these soils and contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. view more (2008-02-25)
Complex carbon picture clearer
Study shows that more plant litter resulting from higher CO2 could boost the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. view more (2007-12-12)
Soil Carbon Storage is Not Always Influenced by Tillage Practices
The practice of no-till has increased considerably during the past 20 yr. Soils under no-till usually host a more abundant and diverse biota and are less prone to erosion, water loss, and structural breakdown than tilled soils. view more (2009-02-26)
Greenhouse gas burial
Deep coal seams that are not commercially viable for coal production could be used for permanent underground storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by human activities, thus avoiding atmospheric release. view more (2007-06-26)
Kyoto climate commitments - a challenge for UK energy policy, say Academies
The report examines options for generating electricity without emission of CO2. These include using renewable sources (such as wind and solar) and negating CO2 emissions by use of 'carbon sequestration', as well as maintaining a nuclear energy capability. view more (1999-06-14)
Seeing the forest and the trees
With human emissions of carbon dioxide on the rise, there is growing interest in maintaining the Earth's natural mechanisms that absorb and store carbon. view more (2005-10-24)
Singapore researchers first to transform carbon dioxide into methanol
Scientists at Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) have succeeded in unlocking the potential of carbon dioxide -- a common greenhouse gas -- by converting it into a more useful product. view more (2009-04-16)
