- Carbon cycle re-balancing - The carbon cycle is the process by which carbon is exchanged between the four reservoirs of carbon: the biosphere, the earth, the air and water. Exchanges take place in several ways, including respiration, transpiration, combustion and decay.
- Citric acid cycle - The citric acid cycle, also known as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the Krebs cycle, or Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle (after Hans Adolf Krebs and Albert Szent-Györgyi who first determined the chemical intermediates and reaction sequence of the cycle), is a series of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions of central importance in all living cells that use ...
- Andrew Benson - Andrew Benson is a scientist who, along with Melvin Calvin and James Bassham, elucidated the path of carbon assimilation (the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle) in plants. The carbon reduction cycle is known as the Calvin cycle, which inappropriately ignores the contribution of Bassham and Benson.
- Transketolase - Transketolase, an enzyme of the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis, catalyzes the transfer of a 2-carbon fragment from a 5-carbon keto sugar (D-xyulose-5-P) to a 5-carbon aldo sugar (D-ribose-5-P) to form a 7-carbon keto sugar (sedoheptulose-7-P) and a 3-carbon aldo sugar (glyceraldehyde-3-P).
- Hassi R'mel integrated solar combined cycle power station - The Hassi R'mel integrated solar combined cycle power station is a hybrid power station that is to be built near Hassi R'mel in Algeria, thought to be the first of its kind. The plant will combine a 25 MW parabolic trough concentrating solar power array, covering an area of over 180,000 m2, in conjunction with a 130MW combined cycle gas turbine plant, so cutting carbon emissions compared to a traditional power station.
