A lot of people hate the idea of carbon capture, but I believe that it must be part of our climate solution. The technical hurdles it must face before it can make a difference are high. My first ...

Aircapture, a Berkeley-based direct air capture (DAC) company, announced its selection as one of 16 winners of Tencent's ...

Current methods of capturing and releasing carbon are expensive and so energy-intensive they often require, counterproductively, the use of fossil fuels. Taking inspiration from plants, Cornell ...

Capturing and storing the carbon dioxide humans produce is key to lowering atmospheric greenhouse gases and slowing global warming, but today’s carbon capture technologies work well only for ...

Many direct air capture systems rely on heat and oxygen-sensitive materials, which can make them energy-intensive, less efficient, and less durable in real-world air conditions. Researchers devised an ...

When experimental results don't match scientists' predictions, it's usually assumed that the predictions were wrong. But new research into materials that pull carbon dioxide directly from the air ...

University of Michigan researchers have helped develop a method to take carbon dioxide, an industrial waste product that pollutes the atmosphere and turn it into something useful: precursors to make ...

He added that this approach could be more effective than other methods of carbon capture because it would essentially permanently store the carbon. "It's going to be stored on a time scale of ...

Making industrial chemicals like ethylene glycol — a key component in polymer production and familiar to many as antifreeze — consumes large amounts of energy and releases significant carbon dioxide ...

Effective carbon management is vital for addressing emissions from some of the toughest-to-abate sectors, including heavy industries such as steel production and cement manufacturing 1. The ...

In a study published in Nature Chemical Engineering, researchers at EPFL developed a scalable method for producing porous graphene membranes that efficiently separate carbon dioxide. A graphene ...
