Researchers make breakthrough in fight against invisible threat spewing out of global crop fields: 'A significant leap'

Bangladesh was identified as the 12th-largest global methane emitter by a 2021 Bloomberg report, which spurred the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute to open its first emission-tracking laboratory, as Mongabay detailed. The lab was set up in 2024 at BRRI's regional office to gather real-time emission data from the country's rice crops, which account for 7% of the world's supply, per the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Its primary goal is to supp…

Breakthrough in Carbon Conversion: A Leap Toward Sustainable Fuel Production

Researchers in Japan have developed a groundbreaking method to convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into carbon monoxide (CO) in just 15 minutes using a low-cost cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) catalyst. This innovation, achieved through a simple spray technique, addresses key challenges of traditional CO₂ conversion methods, offering superior efficiency, stability, and cost-effectiveness. By transforming a major greenhouse gas into a valuable resource for…
