Did you know that switching from traditional agar plates to Neogen® Petrifilm® Plates doesn’t just save time in the lab, it can also reduce your environmental footprint in a meaningful way. A recent lifecycle analysis shows that Petrifilm users can cut back on: 79% less water 76% less energy 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions 66% less waste We’ve put together a simple calculator so you can see what that impact might look like in your own lab.

The energy demands of GenAI are expected to continue increasing dramatically over the next decade, increasing greenhouse gas emissions. MIT researchers are now seeking solutions to reduce these environmental harms: https://lnkd.in/e-Mp8stH

'People save more energy if they think others expect them to.' Knowing about the environmental cost of using energy does not drive people to use less, according to a new study. Find out more ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/etETGZAq #OxfordClimate

What Is an LCA? A smarter way to measure environmental impact  Learn how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) goes beyond carbon footprinting to measure broader environmental impacts—like water use, waste, and downstream water quality.

This comprehensive assessment of the efficacy of carbon offsets is extremely sobering. Price competition and sub-par verification protocols lead to a "race to the bottom" in terms of offset quality. The core challenges of additionality, leakage, double counting, environmental injustice, verification, and permanence have led to significant and pervasive over-crediting in the past. This is a gigantic waste of resources that need to be redirected towards high-quality offsets that offer long-term and factual carbon removals.

"We find that [a Maximum Sectoral Effort" can reduce Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) by over 50% globally, increase both the relative and absolute role of the land sink in storing carbon, and more evenly distribute CDR contributions and associated side-effects across regions compared to CO2 pricing alone. Great work by Jay Fuhrman and colleagues to have the paper in the Environmental Research Letter Highlights for 2024! https://lnkd.in/d8VPFtF6

Methane capture Marine methane is a resource that can provide jobs for the foreseeable future, now with far less risk to human life. Specialized vessels are in design to capture methane in a way similar to how a lava lamp works, using recyclable, low-cost materials, with at least one environmental benefit emerging from these activities. We like to keep it simple. Stay tuned!

Turning sewage into savings. An Australian company has developed a superbug that feeds on wastewater, reducing chemical use, cutting energy, and saving over $500K AUD per year. A powerful reminder: nature often holds the best solutions for our biggest problems. 📌 PS: Found this helpful?
