Breaking down barriers: Taiwan's entry into the global carbon removal industry
In this op-ed, Tank Chen delves into the urgent need for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions to combat global warming, emphasizing Taiwan's opportunity to enter the burgeoning CDR industry. What if I told you that there is a small but emerging market that needs to grow by 40-50%
How many trees would it take to save the planet?
Given the complexity of climate change, the solution isn't straightforward. However, what is important is not only planting more trees but also preventing existing forests from being destroyed. Climate change concerns are now front and center for a great many people. For those who have recently turned their
The Trillion Ton Cloud
Who dreams beyond the cloud? Time passes, the trees burn... and a new era unwinds under an unfamiliar sky. To keep Earth's temperature rise below +2ºC, humanity has to discover how to liberate over a TRILLION TONS of carbon dioxide from its cage in the atmosphere! The challenge
Reforestation: Are Forests a Carbon Sink?
Contrary to what many of us were taught as kids, trees don’t “breathe opposite” to humans. Yes, photosynthesis takes place during the day, allowing a tree to take in carbon dioxide from the air and (with the help of sunlight) create sugars to help the tree grow. However, at
Global Warming vs. Climate Change
Global warming and climate change are terms that are often used interchangeably, but they are very different things. Global warming refers to the gradual increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. This is due to an increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) being
