#Efforts to curb climate change require greater emphasis on livestockwhile climate change negotiators struggle to agree on ways to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions they have paid inadequate attention to other greenhouse gases associated with livestock according to an analysis

A reduction in non-CO2 greenhouse gases will be required to abate climate change the researchers said.

Cutting releases of methane and nitrous oxide two gases that pound-for-pound trap more heat than does CO2 should be considered alongside the challenge of reducing fossil fuel use.

#New method gives accurate picture of gas storage by microscopic cagesa computational method to quantify the adsorption of gas by porous zeolites should help labs know what to expect before they embark upon slow costly experiments according to researchers at Rice university.

The new method created by engineers in Rice's Multiscale Materials Modeling Lab accurately calculated the ability of two zeolites small cage-like molecules with enormous surface area to trap and store gas molecules.

The zeolites'enormous surface area inside and out gives gas molecules plenty of room to bind.

and synthesizing them we can help them rapidly screen the gas uptake for each particular ZIF at various temperatures and pressures.

Shahsavari said the researchers modeled the interactions between molecules of the three gases with each other and with the binding ligands in the zeolites at 77 and 300 kelvins(-321 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit respectively) and at various pressures.

For hydrogen they determined that both zeolites stored about three times as much gas at 77 K

They were also able to calculate both subtle and significant differences between the adsorptive qualities based on various input parameters of gas pressure temperature and type of zeolite.

First the team performed first-principle calculations to describe the very weak atomic interactions--the Van der waals-related London dispersion forces--among each of the three types of gas molecules and the two ZIFS.

Those were plugged into large-scale Monte carlo simulations to predict how much of each gas each porous zeolite could adsorb.

but calculating integrative forces between thousands of gas molecules and each ZIF was not. It took the combined power of Rice's DAVINCI

Shahsavari said the method should also be good for analyzing the potential for zeolites as membranes to separate gases.

but also gas mixtures he said. This provides a good computational framework so one can do rapid screening for the desired properties.

If the synthetic natural gas made by the plants were used to fuel vehicles the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions would be twice as large as from gasoline-fueled vehicles.

The increased carbon dioxide emissions from the nine government-approved plants alone will more than cancel out all of the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from China's recent investments in wind
