Bacteria in the lab of Prof. Ron Milo of the Weizmann Institute of Science have not just sworn off sugar – they have stopped eating all of their normal solid food, existing instead on carbon... Read more
The process could work on the gas at any concentrations, from power plant emissions to open air. A new way of removing carbon dioxide from a stream of air could provide a significant tool in... Read more
A major greenhouse gas, CO2 produced from burning fossil fuels is still mostly released into the atmosphere, adding to the burden of global warming. One way to cut down on it is through a ca... Read more
Scientists at the University of Waterloo have created a powder that could capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from factories and power plants. The advanced carbon powder, developed using a novel pr... Read more
World energy consumption projections expect coal to stay one of the world’s main energy sources in the coming decades, and a growing share of it will be used in CTL, the conversion of coal t... Read more
Taking a page from green plants, new polymer “grows” through a chemical reaction with carbon dioxide. A material designed by MIT chemical engineers can react with carbon dioxide from the air... Read more
Just as spacesuits help astronauts survive in inhospitable environments, newly developed “spacesuits” for bacteria allow them to survive in environments that would otherwise kill them. Unive... Read more
A new technology from U of T Engineering is taking a substantial step towards enabling manufacturers to create plastics out of two key ingredients: sunshine and pollution. Today, non-renewab... Read more
An unconventional mélange of algae, eucalyptus and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) appears to be a quirky ecological recipe. But, scientists from Cornell, Duke University,... Read more
Scientists at the University of Dundee have discovered that E. coli bacteria could hold the key to an efficient method of capturing and storing or recycling carbon dioxide. Cutting carbon di... Read more
Emerging technologies…that address both performance and cost challenges in CCS, must be accelerated towards implementation…It is key Around 2800BC, the ancient inhabitants of Ur,... Read more
New Cornell research suggests an economically viable model to scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to thwart runaway, point-of-no-return global warming. The researchers propose using a “... Read more
An international team of scientists have found a potentially viable way to remove anthropogenic (caused or influenced by humans) carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere – turn it into r... Read more
The research could one day create a sustainable fuel source from greenhouse gas emissions They’re making fuel from thin air at the USC Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute. For the first tim... Read more
Scientists have discovered enhanced weathering of rock could counter man-made fossil fuel CO2 emissions and help to protect our oceans An international team, led by researchers from the Univ... Read more
