Chemist Berend Smit and colleagues are working with the power industry to find the best materials to capture and sequester carbon dioxide.]]> http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/05/27/computer-model-pinpoints-prime-materials-for-efficient-carbon-capture/feed/ 0 http://news.ucdavis.edu/search/news_detail.lasso?id=9741 http://news.ucdavis.edu/search/news_detail.lasso?id=9741#comments Tue, 25 Jan 2011 00:12:15 +0000 Public Affairs http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/?p=4915 A study by the Haas School's Yuan Sun and colleagues at UC Davis and the University of Otago, New Zealand, found that the stock value of a company typically drops when it increases carbon emissions. The finding supports arguments that firms should be required to disclose to investors any action that impacts climate change.]]> http://news.ucdavis.edu/search/news_detail.lasso?id=9741/feed/ 0
