Solar towers, also known as solar power towers, are a type of solar furnace that uses a field of mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto a tower. This concentrated sunlight is then converted into electricity, which can be used to power various systems, including telecommunications networks

Ayetoro, a low-lying coastal community in southern Nigeria, is being impacted by rising sea levels.
Ironically in the past, the sea used to be far from where people lived, posing a problem for fishermen.
A researcher discovered that the community was losing its land to the sea at a rate of 65m per year

The process requires a significant amount of biomass, which could lead to deforestation if not managed responsibly. Furthermore, the technology for biomass torrefaction is still in its early stages, and more research and development are needed to make it a viable option for large-scale energy production

The US Department of Agriculture has found that by 2070, forests in the country will begin to release a ton more carbon than they actually store. This will equate to a sequestration reduction of about 150 million metric tons, similar to the setting up and running of 40 coal power plants constantly oozing dirty emissions into the air

They could also play a pivotal role in addressing another pressing global issue: carbon dioxide emissions. Just as plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, these devices could be designed to capture and convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, effectively acting as a tool for carbon sequestration.
The development of artificially photosynthetic devices is still in its early stages, but progress is being made
