Crop losses and the economic impact caused by canola insect pests is substantial, depending on outbreak conditions. With the predicted de-registration of two key insecticides, canola producers are potential subject to greater economic losses. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), also known as predatory nematodes, are commercially available biocontrol agents for the management of insect pests. Advancement in […]

Carbon dioxide and methane are two dominant green-house gases responsible for global warming—a topic of major concern nowadays. Efforts are intensifying in both academia and industry all around the world to come up with innovative and cost-effective solutions to combat global warming. One such effort is Carbonova’s technology that transforms carbon dioxide and methane into […]

Post-combustion CO2 capture is widely recognized as the most feasible approach to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels as it can easily be retrofitted to existing facilities. The existing aqueous amine absorption technology has shown promising performance but also the challenges associated with the mass transfer, kinetics, and amine degradation persist. The careful engineering of […]
