There’s something intrinsically simple about the concept of carbon (CO2) capture: you simply have the CO2 molecules absorbed or adsorbed by something, after which you separate the thus captured CO2 …read more Continue reading Creating Methane From Captured Carbon Dioxide And The Future Of Carbon Capture
Some questions remain over their capacity to really put a dent in the problem, but direct air capture (DAC) systems that collect carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are starting to take shape as new tools in the fight against climate change. A company a… Continue reading Climate startup taps harsh Australian sun for scalable carbon capture
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere attracts most of the attention in environmental concerns, but much of that ends up in oceans, making them more acidic. Now scientists have created “nanojars” that can easily capture this and other pollutants from water…. Continue reading “Nanojars” capture carbon dioxide dissolved in water
Greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping sector are shaping up as one of the toughest slices of the emissions pie to eliminate – and even if they’re a relatively small slice (about 1.7 percent of total global emissions), they still need to be dealt w… Continue reading Innovative partitioned fuel tank promises emissions-free shipping
The hydrogen industry is gearing up to play an important role in the global transition to clean energy – particularly in hard-to-abate sectors like aviation and steel production. As it grows, you’re going to start hearing more about colors. Black hydro… Continue reading Report slams “blue hydrogen” as worse for the climate than gas or coal
In the race to get humanity toward zero carbon emissions by 2050, the vast majority of efforts will rightly be focused on reducing emissions at their source. But there are areas where this simply won’t be possible, and as carbon taxes gradually rise ar… Continue reading High Hopes claims stratospheric breakthrough in direct air CO2 capture
With traditional carbon sinks like the Amazon rainforest facing an uncertain future, scientists are looking to get creative with their efforts to slow the buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere. A new study out of the University of Sheffield makes a case for… Continue reading Scattering rock dust on crops could soak up billions of tons of CO2
Carbon dioxide is an all too common waste product of industry, belched into the air in huge amounts from smokestacks. Now, researchers have developed a new type of fluorinated membrane that can selectively filter CO2 out of flue gas at the point of rel… Continue reading Fluorinated membrane breaks a limit for capturing carbon dioxide
Developing new technologies that can capture carbon dioxide from power plant emissions and convert it into useful products is a huge area of research with all kinds of potential (there’s even a US$20-million XPrize dedicated to such endeavors). Scienti… Continue reading New way to convert CO2 into Lego-like building blocks of useful products
As porous materials with incredibly high surface areas, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a huge degree of versatility that could see them used in alternative rocket fuels, advanced batteries and devices that quickly detect dangerous gases. Another… Continue reading “Magnetic sponge” MOF captures carbon with record energy efficiency
