It seems that some folks over at the University of Calcutta have made a key discovery, one that could resolve global warming issues. The membrane that lines in egg shells can reportedly absorb carbon dioxide, seven times its own weight which means gas can be stored until new eco-friendly methods can be found.

The eggshell is made of three layers: a cuticle on the outer surface, and a spongy calcium-containing middle layer and inner layer. The second and third layers are composed of protein fibers bonded to calcium carbonate.

The membrane, which is about 100 micrometers thick, is just below the shell. The group demonstrated that weak acid can be used to separate it from the shell for use as a carbon dioxide adsorbent. Until the proper disposal method is found, this discovery could provide some help for the meantime.

Mitsubishi Chemical Corp and Nippon Frehaul Corp have joined hands to apply some eco-friendly loving for trucks, particularly the ones that need power for refrigeration. The new tech is called the i-Cool Solar Power, a new brainchild that makes use of photovoltaic cells to provide air conditioning and charge the truck batteries when it is in an idle state.

They solar panels are mounted at the top of the trucks to make sure batteries are always charged. This green solution will extensively be implemented come 2012.
