Better living in your home: constructions with a reduced carbon footprint and at a controlled price!
Ecological issues are at the center of global concerns and represent the future of new constructions. Initially scheduled for January 1, 2021 by the ELAN law (Evolution of housing, development…
Greenhouse gases: CO2 or methane, which is worse?
Carbon dioxide and methane are among the best known greenhouse gases. The increase in their emission into the atmosphere is the cause of the current global warming. the carbon dioxide…
A carbon signature detected on Mars could be of biological origin
Carbon is at the heart of life. But not only… So when astronomers get their hands on a rather special form of carbon on Mars, they consider that it could…
Mars: does this carbon signal detected by Curiosity betray the presence of life?
Carbon is at the heart of life. But not only… So when astronomers get their hands on a rather special form of carbon than the planet Mars, they consider that…
solar panels for the Orange “data center” with a view to carbon neutrality
Where the date center is, there is a large parking lot. We are going to cover the roofs of these car parks with solar. And on this basis, we can…
The four possible scenarios for achieving carbon neutrality in France
France is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. An objective which remains however abstract for most of us. Yet it will involve some drastic choices and life changes. Between…
A surprisingly powerful carbon sink in the Southern Ocean
Too many human activities are the source of carbon dioxide emissions. Fortunately, this CO2 is partially absorbed not only by plants, but also by the oceans. Slowing down anthropogenic global…
Soils with more fungi can store more carbon
Global warming and damage caused by intensive agriculture and deforestation. Some models now predict that 40% less carbon can be stored in soils by 2100 compared to what older simulations…
This carbon must absolutely remain trapped: mapping of areas to be protected
To avoid a climate catastrophe, we are going to have to decarbonize our economy. But also, counting on certain ecosystems to store carbon. And researchers are now offering us a…
