Carbon Dioxide

Learnt this today from the Huberman Labs podcast. This is about why we need both Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. So when we breathe, the oxygen gets into our lungs. From there, it gets stuck to Hemoglobin which is then responsible to take it to the various tissues or organs that need oxygen. Now Hemoglobin acts like a cage. It jails the oxygen inside this cage before transporting it. To release the oxygen from this cage, our body needs carbon-dioxide. It is the CO2 which releases the oxygen at the time of need.

Carbonation is an essential process in the production of beer that imparts the characteristic fizz and mouthfeel that many beer lovers crave. Traditionally, carbon dioxide (CO2) has been the preferred gas used to carbonate beer. However, in recent years, nitrogen (N2) has emerged as an alternative that offers some distinct…

While carbon capture technology has a long road ahead of development and is still difficult and expensive, it shows some promise in addressing historical and ongoing carbon emissions. 2 leading carbon capture technologies exist. Here they are: 🏭 Technology…

The Tale of the Twelve Trees There was a man who had 160 employees. He went to a group of them and said, “Get to zero carbon.” “We will,” they answered, but later made excuses for why they could not. Hope went to others in the company and said, “Vandalize pollution.” “We can’t,” they answered, but…

Climate change is a pressing issue that affects us all, and the consequences of inaction are dire. If we don’t take immediate action to reduce our carbon emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change, we risk irreparable harm to the planet and its inhabitants. …

Climate’s Big Picture, Part 3 There is a big heat-trapping blanket of greenhouse gases overhead. For carbon dioxide, it now amounts to a 50 percent excess atop the benign preindustrial concentration. …

Written by Edward Yang, Junior Economist Writer Every 6 to 7 years, a comprehensive scientific assessment report is published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to assist policymakers with developing solutions to climate change. The reports comment on the state of scientific, technological and socio-economic knowledge in relation…
