Hydrogen as a fuel has the potential to reduce tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions of vehicles to near-zero, while also allowing for the generation of a hydrogen-based economy and lowering humanity's dependence upon oil. Hydrogen-diesel dual fuel combustion, where hydrogen and diesel are combusted...

Understanding factors affecting elemental carbon stocks on Alberta’s grasslands is of special importance with recent policy shifts focusing on climate change and carbon (C) emissions. A large part of Alberta is native prairie utilized by the beef industry. This study examined soil and vegetation...
