Canada's new government is taking a different approach to cutting oil and gas emissions. Instead of the old plan to cap emissions, they're focusing on carbon markets, stricter methane rules, and new tech like carbon capture. The old plan was controversial. It aimed to cut emissions by 35% compared
Scientists have found a clever way to create special molecules called organoselenium compounds. These molecules are useful in medicine, materials, and biochemistry. The problem is that making them often requires tough conditions and doesn't work with many types of molecules. So, finding a better way
Professor Christel Maria Marian's work has been a game-changer in the world of molecular science. Her focus on electron spin in molecular photochemical and photophysical processes has opened up new ways of understanding how molecules behave when they absorb light. This is not just some abstract theo
Chemistry is everywhere. It's in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the gadgets we use daily. Yet, most people don't realize how much chemistry affects their lives. Scientists often stay quiet, only talking to other experts. This is a problem. Scientists need to speak up. Their work isn't jus
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are often seen as a middle ground between traditional gas cars and fully electric vehicles. But are they really as eco-friendly as they claim to be? Recent findings suggest otherwise. A study by Transport and Environment (T&E) found that PHEVs emit about 135
Something strange is happening with Earth's hemispheres. For years, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres reflected almost the same amount of sunlight back into space. But now, this balance is breaking down. The Northern Hemisphere is absorbing more sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. This change
Japan is in a tight spot. It wants to cut down on pollution and reach big climate goals. But at the same time, it needs to make sure people can afford their daily lives. The new Environment Minister, Hirotaka Ishihara, has pointed out this tricky situation. Japan is a major player in the climate ga
ExxonMobil is taking California to court over new laws that want the company to be open about its climate impact. The laws say big companies like Exxon must share details about the greenhouse gases they produce, both directly and indirectly. The company says these laws force them to share informati
In China, local leaders play a big role in cutting down carbon emissions. A recent study looked at how a mayor's background can affect this effort. The findings show that mayors with engineering backgrounds are better at reducing carbon intensity. This is especially true in big cities, industrial ar
Flexsys has just hit two big goals in its green journey. First, it got a Platinum rating from EcoVadis in 2025. This puts it in the top 1% of over 125, 000 companies checked worldwide. The rating looks at how companies do in areas like the environment, labor rights, ethics, and sustainable buying.
