“Past volcanic eruptions have had significant impacts on the environment,” said Bao. “We humans have witnessed the various impacts of volcanic eruptions like…
Forest biomass is renewable, abundant and carbon-neutral. Its importance as a future source of green energy and green chemicals should not be ignored, he says.The session will involve itself with “look-ahead” science – things such as innovative technologies to convert forest biomass into bioalcohol, synthetic gasoline and diesel as well as the future market possibilities for forest-based green chemicals to be used as the raw materials for biodegradable bioplastics….
The findings point the way toward future work that could greatly improve catalyst efficiency in a variety of processes that are crucial to the world’s energy…
Theories of impacts and their influence on animal extinctions and climate change are receiving increasing attention both in the scientific and popular…
