Stable investment or stable climate? Would New Zealand be in breach of its investment treat obligations if it phased out fossil fuel extraction?

, 2016
This paper considers the possibility of phasing out fossil fuel extraction in New Zealand. It examines New Zealand’s current relationship with fossil fuels and its legal framework relating to fossil fuel extraction before assessing the remedies available

Importance of fossil fuel emission uncertainties over Europe for CO2 modeling: model intercomparison [PDF]

Inverse modeling techniques used to quantify surface carbon fluxes commonly assume that the uncertainty of fossil fuel CO2 (FFCO2) emissions is negligible and that intra-annual variations can be neglected.

Bias‐Free Solar Upcycling of Nitrate and Glycerol with Highly Efficient and Durable Organic Semiconductor‐Based Photoelectrodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A bias‐free photoelectrochemical (PEC) upcycling system integrating bi‐functional nickel‐iron‐phosphorus (Ni‐Fe‐P) catalysts with organic semiconductor (OS)‐based dual photoelectrodes is reported. The system enables simultaneous solar‐driven conversion of nitrate to ammonia and glycerol to formic acid with high efficiency and stability.

Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic
