DOI: 10.1016/j.apr.2021.02.017
Abstract: Abstract Fulfilling the Paris Climate Agreement requires reducing rapidly the new emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to reach net zero by 2050. As some anthropogenic emissions cannot be zero, to compensate them it will be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-28573-5
Abstract: It is well established that a collapse or strong reduction of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) would substantially cool the northern high latitudes. Here we show that there is a possibility that such cooling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41560-017-0055-2
Abstract: Although nearly all 2 °C scenarios use negative CO2 emission technologies, only relatively small investments are being made in them, and concerns are being raised regarding their large-scale use. If no explicit policy decisions are taken… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02786826.2024.2439527
Abstract: Abstract Wet cooling towers evaporate water to transfer waste heat to the environment. In the process, they also emit liquid water in the form of spray drift. These emissions dry in the atmosphere to form… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ad786d
Abstract: Pre-empting the worst consequences of climate change requires both mitigation of emissions from the global energy system and carbon dioxide removal through negative emissions technologies. Despite their nascence, negative emissions technologies are being incorporated into… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwaa171
Abstract: combining texturing with nanostructuring provides a balance between TE and mechanical performance in n-type Bi2Te3-based materials. Low/midfrequency phonons are most likely to be scattered by nanoscale defects, thus significantly reducing the lattice thermal conductivity. High… read more here.
