Engineers Revolutionize CO2 Conversion: Turning Emissions into Valuable Resources

A new electrode design developed at MIT boosts the efficiency of electrochemical reactions that turn carbon dioxide into ethylene and other products. As the world struggles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, researchers are seeking practical, economical ways to capture carbon dioxide and convert it into useful products, such as transportation fuels, chemical feedstocks, or even

Storm Update: NHC Monitoring Atlantic Disturbances Including Gordon’s Aftermath and Two Other Systems


The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is keeping an eye on three tropical disturbances in the Atlantic. Two of these disturbances have a moderate chance of developing into tropical depressions or storms in the near future.

 

The first disturbance, related to the remnants of Gordon, is currently generating showers and thunderstorms over the central tropical Atlantic. The NHC shared this update in an advisory issued early Thursday morning, noting that the system is expected to “interact with another area of low pressure to its west” as it moves west-northwest in the following days.

While conditions for development seem only slightly favorable this week, the NHC mentioned that a tropical depression or storm could potentially form in a few days as this system drifts slowly northward over the central subtropical Atlantic.

The second disturbance, located to the west of the first one, is also causing shower and thunderstorm activity a few hundred miles northwest of Gordon’s remnants.

 

The NHC indicated that some further development of this system might be possible “as it drifts over the open waters of the central or western Subtropical Atlantic through early next week.” However, the chances for this over the next week remain at 20 percent.

Lastly, a “broad area of low pressure” may develop late this weekend or early next week over the western and northwestern Caribbean Sea. Following this, the gradual development of the system is anticipated, with a tropical depression potentially forming as it slowly moves north and northwest into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico by the middle of next week, according to the NHC.
