TL;DR: It is shown that replacing truck delivery by drones can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy use when the drone size and additional warehousing requirements are limited, and if carefully deployed, drone-based delivery could reduce greenhouseGas emissions andEnergy use in the freight sector.

TL;DR: Carbon capture materials that may enable low-cost and energy-efficient capture of carbon dioxide from flue gas are reported that are stable under typical industrial operating conditions and may be used in supported packing and fluidized beds for large-scale carbon capture.

TL;DR: Systematic in silico studies on the methane capture effectiveness of two different materials systems, that is, liquid solvents (including ionic liquids) and nanoporous zeolites, find a handful of candidates that have sufficient methane sorption capacity as well as appropriate CH4/CO2 and/orCH4/N2 selectivity to be technologically promising.

TL;DR: Using particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO), this work creates a biocatalytic polymer material that converts methane to methanol and embedding the material within a silicone lattice to create mechanically robust, gas-permeable membranes, and direct printing of micron-scale structures with controlled geometry.

TL;DR: Four avenues of research and development are identified that can serve the dual purposes of addressing current methane sources and potential Arctic sources: methane release detection and quantification, mitigation units for small and remote methane streams, mitigation methods for dilute (<1000 ppm) methane Streams, and understanding methanotroph and methanogen ecology.
