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
Although the use of renewable energy is on the rise, coal and natural gas still represent the majority of the United States energy supply. Even with pollution controls, burning these fossil... Read more
Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology have designed a CO2 reduction method based only on commonly occurring elements. Achieving a 57% overall quantum yield of CO2 reduction products,... Read more
Researchers analyze global potential for ‘negative emissions energy’ using electricity from renewable sources to generate hydrogen fuel and capture carbon dioxide Limiting global... Read more
A new analysis shows that air capture could cost less than $100 a ton. While avoiding the worst dangers of climate change will likely require sucking carbon dioxide out of the sky, prominent... 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
MIT-developed method converts carbon dioxide into useful compounds. MIT researchers have developed a new system that could potentially be used for converting power plant emissions of carbon... Read more
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a simple, reliable process to capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air, offering a new option for ca... Read more
Scientists at Queen’s University Belfast have made a major breakthrough by making a porous liquid – with the potential for a massive range of new technologies including ‘carbon capture’. Res... Read more
It could be the key to large-scale implementation of carbon capture Carbon capture is a process by which waste carbon dioxide (CO2) released by factories and power plants is collected and st... Read more
So much soot belched from the old power plant here that Mike Zeleny would personally warn the neighbors. “If the wind was blowing in a certain direction,” Mr. Zeleny said, “we’d call Mrs.... Read more
