Preventing global warming from reaching dangerous levels will require dramatic steps to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide pouring into the atmosphere, but many see removing and safely storing what is already there as another critical part of the solu… Continue reading US outlines vision for cheap, large-scale carbon capture technology
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. While most attempts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions focus on reducing the amount of CO2 output, there are other alternatives. Carbon capture …read more Continue reading Carbon Sequestration As A Service Doesn’t Quite Add Up
Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world, but it comes at a huge environmental cost. Engineers in Japan have developed a new technique to make concrete by recycling waste concrete and combining it with captured carbon dioxide.Con… Continue reading Green new concrete recycles building waste and captured CO2
You know the feeling — you’re making good progress on a weekend project, you’re really in the groove, things are going right. Right up until you run out of That …read more Continue reading Cooking Up a Batch of Homebrew Welding Gas
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
Remember when work meetings were just a bunch of people filling up a small, poorly ventilated room with their exhaled breath? Back in the good old days, all you had …read more Continue reading Compact Sensor Keeps You Safe by Watching CO2 Levels
It’s easy to feel hopeless in the face of climate change, but it’s not too late to do something about it – after all, we’ve stepped up to similar challenges before. New modeling shows just how much worse the situation would be if CFCs hadn’t been banne… Continue reading “World Avoided” model charts climate cost if we’d ignored ozone hole
According to a new report issued by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human-caused climate change will have dire consequences over the next 20 years. And while some of the damage could be mitigated, it will take a lo… Continue reading Reality check: UN climate change report drives home need for urgent action
Carbon dioxide may finally get its chance to become a solution in the climate crisis. Italy’s Energy Dome says its CO2 batteries will store energy at less than half the cost of lithium “big batteries,” while also being very responsive to load demand.Co… Continue reading Energy Dome uses carbon dioxide as a grid-scale battery
