This is part of an international research consortium that aims to develop a new, sustainable approach to milk protein production using only carbon dioxide and electricity.

Key Points: 
  • This is part of an international research consortium that aims to develop a new, sustainable approach to milk protein production using only carbon dioxide and electricity.
  • The HYDROCOW team will work to genetically engineer hydrogen oxidizing bacteria (HOB) to convert carbon from CO2 gas and nitrogen from N2 into beta-lactoglobulin, a major whey protein found in cow's milk.
  • "The EIC supports the HYDROCOW project in its pursuit to develop sustainable bioproduction methods directly from CO2 and nitrogen compounds," said EIC Project Officer Olivier Dahon.
  • "EIC is supporting scientific innovation through our portfolio approach for funding research projects under the Pathfinder Challenge: 'Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen Management and Valorisation.'

For this reason, many countries have implemented regulations that require continuous monitoring and measurement of actual emission levels.

Key Points: 
  • For this reason, many countries have implemented regulations that require continuous monitoring and measurement of actual emission levels.
  • A company hires trained service providers to install, operate, and maintain an emission monitoring system.
  • Continuous emission monitoring systems are expected to hold a substantial market share during the forecast period.
  • North America is expected to hold a significant market share of the emission monitoring system industry during the forecast period.

Nitrous oxide: why the environment isn't amused about laughing gas

He begins to feel a pleasurable sensation “particularly in the chest and extremities” before dancing around and then collapsing in a heap.

Key Points: 
  • He begins to feel a pleasurable sensation “particularly in the chest and extremities” before dancing around and then collapsing in a heap.
  • A few minutes later he comes to and is consumed by a fit of giggles.
  • The year is 1799 and Davy has just discovered the euphoric effects of nitrous oxide (N₂O), which he names “laughing gas”.
  • Word soon spread through high society and laughing gas parties became all the rage.

No laughing matter

    • Despite these low concentrations, N₂O’s potency means it still has a significant effect on the climate.
    • N₂O is now the main threat to the ozone layer since CFC chemicals were banned in the 1980s.
    • Whippits are a relatively minor source of human emissions of nitrous oxide, the vast majority (some 70%) comes from agriculture.

The solution

    • Applying more sparing amounts of fertilisers at the right part of the growing season means more fertilisers being taken up by plants.
    • As a result less fertiliser is left in the soil where it runs off into water ways and breaks down into N₂O.
    • Meanwhile, in clinical settings, huge amounts of N₂O are released through leaky valves, expired stock and theft for recreational use.

Another strategy that can be used to improve nitrogen uptake by plants is to improve soil health.

Key Points: 
  • Another strategy that can be used to improve nitrogen uptake by plants is to improve soil health.
  • Soil moisture content is also critical for nitrogen uptake, as water is required to dissolve and transport nitrogen compounds to plant roots.
  • The process of nitrogen uptake in plants involves several steps, including root uptake, transport to the shoot, and assimilation into plant tissues.
  • The first step in nitrogen uptake is the absorption of inorganic nitrogen compounds by plant roots.

A synthetic chemist by training, Dr. Southan has an extensive experience and publication record in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and in the chemistry of NOS inhibitors, nitric oxide adducts, and nitric oxide donor compounds.

Key Points: 
  • A synthetic chemist by training, Dr. Southan has an extensive experience and publication record in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and in the chemistry of NOS inhibitors, nitric oxide adducts, and nitric oxide donor compounds.
  • In the course of these studies, he showed that EDRF is in fact nitric oxide, and, subsequently, that nitric oxide associated with these hydroxyguanidine compounds to stabilize its activity.
  • Using 15N labeled substrates and high-resolution mass-spectrometry, he was able to confirm that nitric oxide synthase utilizes the hydroxylated guanidino nitrogen of N-hydroxyarginine for the generation of nitric oxide.
  • At the same time, he discovered novel classes of inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide generation, which had beneficial effects in models of inflammation and ischemic/reperfusion disease.
