Before selling carbon credits, read this
05-18-2007 · EurekAlert!Before farmers can sell carbon credits, they need to be able to reliably measure the amount of carbon in their soil. Researchers believe that the Century soil model can accurately measure soil organic content in certain land regions.

- Report finds deforestation offers very little money compared to potential financial benefits
12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
Deforestation in tropical countries is often driven by the perverse economic reality that forests are worth more dead than alive. But a new study by an international consortium of researchers has found that the emerging market for carbon credits has the potential to radically alter that equation.

- Buying and selling habitats to help wildlife
10-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Tradable permits are all the rage in environmental policy. They are already used internationally to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality. A group of economists and ecologists from the UK, the Netherlands and Germany, are working together to find out whether such schemes could work for wildlife too. So far, it looks promising, but probably only for cultural landscapes like farmland.

- Single-largest biodiversity survey says primary rainforest is irreplaceable
11-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
As world leaders prepare to discuss conservation-friendly carbon credits in Bali and a regional initiative threatens a new wave of deforestation in the South American tropics, new research from the University of East Anglia and Brazil’s Goeldi Museum highlights once again the irreplaceable importance of primary rain forest.

- European Union forests expanding, absorbing carbon at surprisingly high rate: study
11-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
University of Helsinki researchers say European Union forests are expanding and absorbing carbon at a higher than expected rate. And they say at least partial credit for nurturing its carbon sink through forest expansion is likely needed by the EU to reach its ambitious post-Kyoto goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 20% by 2020 from 1990 levels

- Rice chemists create, grow nanotube seeds
11-17-2006 · EurekAlert!
Rice University chemists have revealed the first method for cutting carbon nanotubes into "seeds" and using those seeds to sprout new nanotubes. The findings offer hope that seeded growth may one day produce the large quantities of pure nanotubes needed for dozens of materials applications. The research is available online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

- Carbon dioxide emissions predicted to reduce density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017
12-11-2006 · EurekAlert!
Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will produce a 3 percent reduction in the density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017, according to a team of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research and Pennsylvania State University.

- Nano world off the radar for most
01-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
Sunscreens contain nano particles, carbon and titania nanotubes show promise and nano structures are the rage in engineering schools. While the proliferation of nano research may signal a mini revolution, outside the realms of business and science, this insurgency may be no more than a whisper, according to an international team of researchers.

- MIT: Storing CO2 below ground may prevent polluting above
02-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new analysis led by an MIT scientist describes a mechanism for capturing carbon dioxide emissions from a power plant and injecting the gas into the ground, where it would be trapped naturally as tiny bubbles and safely stored in briny porous rock.

- Invisible for electrons
03-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
As thin as it gets: the carbon membranes recently created by Max Planck scientists are only one atom thick. For electrons, such membranes are almost completely transparent -- using an electron microscope, scientists may thus be able to examine absorbed individual molecules on the membranes, and image the atomic structure of complex biological molecules. Such ultra-thin membranes may also be used to filter out gases (Nature, March 1, 2007).
