Inter Press Service: Finding a sense of identity and purpose, as well as employment are some of the challenges facing youths in post-conflict Bougainville, an autonomous region in eastern Papua New Guinea in the southwest Pacific Islands. They have been labelled the "lost generation' due to their risk of being marginalised after missing out on education during the Bougainville civil war (1989-1998), known locally as the "Crisis'. But in Hako constituency, where an estimated 30,000 people live in villages along...

Scientists turn CO2 into stone to battle global warming

DNAIndia: Carbon dioxide is a key factor in global warming, and experts have long called for innovative "carbon capture and storage" (CCS) solutions. Scientists have turned carbon dioxide into stone in a matter of months by pumping it deep underground, offering a revolutionary new way of storing the greenhouse gas to tackle climate change. The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO2 emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of metres (feet) underground into volcanic basalt rock -- where it rapidly...

The pioneering experiment in Iceland mixed CO{-2}emissions with water and pumped it hundreds of metres underground into volcanic basalt rock where it rapidly turned into a solid. We need to deal with rising carbon emissions. This is the ultimate permanent storage turn them back to stone, said Juerg Matter,...

Scientists turn carbon dioxide gas into harmless stone

Associated Press: Scientists have a found a quick way but not a cheap one to turn heat-trapping carbon dioxide gas into harmless rock. Experts say the results of a two-year, $10 million experiment called CarbFix , conducted about one-third of a mile (540 meters) deep in the rocks of Iceland, offer new hope for an effective weapon to help fight man-made global warming. When an international team of scientists pumped a carbon dioxide and water mix into underground basalt rocks, basic chemistry took over. The...
