Mutant Cyanobacterium Chonkus Could Help Combat Climate Change with Carbon Storage
Chonkus, a mutant strain of cyanobacterium, has been found to store more carbon and sink faster than typical strains. Discovered by Max Schubert and his team at the Wyss Institute, this microbe could assist in carbon sequestration efforts. Chonkus' quick sinking ability and high carbon storage capacity suggest it may play a role in reducing atmosph...

New Soil Carbon Measurement Method Could Boost Trust in Carbon Credit Markets
Direct soil carbon measurement is being explored as a more accurate method for verifying carbon storage in agriculture. Unlike predictive models, which can be unreliable, this method provides solid data that improves carbon credit market trust. A recent study showed how direct measurements could scale cost-effectively across large areas, supporting...

New Study Uncovers Vital Ocean Processes for Carbon Storage and Climate Regulation
A new study has identified two crucial processes in preserving organic carbon beneath the ocean floor: sorption and molecular transformation. Conducted by scientists from the University of Manchester and the University of Leeds, the research highlights how these mechanisms keep carbon locked in sediments, preventing its release as carbon dioxide. A...

Plankton’s Ability To Sequester Carbon Is Influenced by Ocean Density, Study Shows
A study published in Royal Society Open Science explores how changes in ocean density influence marine plankton, particularly the foraminifera species Trilobatus trilobus, in incorporating carbon into their shells. These organisms play a key role in the carbon cycle by sequestering carbon in the ocean floor after death. The study, led by Dr Stergio...

‘Chonkus’ Algae Found Off Italian Coast Holds Promise for Improve Climate Change Situation
The newly identified ‘Chonkus’ strain of cyanobacteria, discovered in Italy's volcanic waters, may be a natural ally in carbon sequestration. With its CO₂-absorbing properties and ability to thrive in extreme environments, Chonkus shows promise in industrial carbon storage and bio-manufacturing, potentially lowering costs while contributing t...

Ancient Log Discovery in Canada Shows How Wood Burial Could Be Key to Affordable Carbon Storage
A 3,775-year-old log, found by climate scientist Ning Zeng's team in Canada, has shown the potential of buried wood for long-term carbon storage. When covered by clay, the log retained most of its carbon, hinting at a cost-effective, natural solution for lowering atmospheric CO2 levels. Researchers suggest this low-cost strategy could lock away car...

Burying Wood: A Simple, Low-Tech Carbon Storage Solution to Combat Climate Change
Researchers have found a 3,775-year-old log buried under a farm in Canada, offering insight into a low-cost and scalable method to lock carbon out of the atmosphere for millennia. The study reveals that burying wood under the right conditions, such as in oxygen-deprived environments and clay soils, could prevent its decay and preserve its carbon co...

Forests Emit Carbon Dioxide for Years After Wildfires, Study Finds
A recent study has found that forests destroyed by wildfires continue to emit carbon dioxide (CO₂) for years after the flames die down. The research, conducted in Sweden’s boreal forests, revealed that burnt areas release CO₂ at a rate that more than doubles the amount emitted during the fire itself. These findings are particularly concerning...

New Study Reveals How Marine Viruses May Aid in Mitigation of Climate Change
A new study suggests how 5,500 marine RNA virus species may help push carbon absorbed from the atmosphere to permanent storage on the ocean floor. The effort aims to learn more about the organisms that live in the ocean and do the majority of the work of absorbing half of the human-generated carbon in the atmosphere and producing half of the oxygen...
