The Role of Fossil Fuel Combustion Metals in PM2.5 Air Pollution Health Associations

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
In this review, we elucidate the central role played by fossil fuel combustion in the health-related effects that have been associated with inhalation of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

Development of an efficient 3AP-DMEA-butanol-water phase change absorbent for CO_2 capture

open access: yes能源环境保护
Controlling CO_2 emissions from low-concentration sources like coal-fired power plants and steel mills is crucial for achieving "carbon neutrality" . Amine-based CO_2 capture technology is a leading contender for industrial application.

Non-deforestation fire vs. fossil fuel combustion: the source of CO2 emissions affects the global carbon cycle and climate responses [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2016
Non-deforestation fire – i.e., fire that is typically followed by the recovery of natural vegetation – is arguably the most influential disturbance in terrestrial ecosystems, thereby playing a major role in carbon exchanges and affecting many

The Oxymoron of Carbon Dioxide Removal: Escaping Carbon Lock-In and yet Perpetuating the Fossil Status Quo?

open access: yesFrontiers in Climate, 2021
There appears to be a paradox in the debate over carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. On the one hand, CDR is recognised as a crucial technical option to offset residual carbon emissions from fossil fuel use, so that it can help a transition to the

Biofuel burning and human respiration bias on satellite estimates of fossil fuel CO2 emissions

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
The satellites that have been designed to support the monitoring of fossil fuel CO _2 emissions aim to systematically measure atmospheric CO _2 plumes generated by intense emissions from large cities, power plants and industrial sites.

Movements shaping climate futures: A systematic mapping of protests against fossil fuel and low-carbon energy projects

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
In this article we undertake a systematic mapping of 649 cases of resistance movements to both fossil fuel (FF) and low carbon energy (LCE) projects, providing the most comprehensive overview of such place-based energy-related mobilizations to date.
