Scientists from Skoltech and Heriot-Watt University proposed extracting methane by injecting flue gas into permafrost hydrate reservoirs. Since the flue gas contains carbon dioxide, the new... Read more
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
Scientists at ETH Zurich and oil and gas company Total have developed a new catalyst that converts CO and hydrogen into methanol. Offering realistic market potential, the technology paves th... 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
Soon we will be able to replace fossil fuels with a carbon-neutral product created from solar energy, carbon dioxide and water. Researchers at Uppsala University have successfully produced m... Read more
Researchers Want to Use Air-conditioning and Ventilation Systems for Decentralized Production of Carbon-neutral Synthetic Fuels – Publication in Nature Communications Researchers at the Karl... Read more
Researchers discover copper has potential as a catalyst for turning carbon dioxide into sustainable chemicals and fuels without any wasteful byproducts, creating a green alternative to prese... 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
UD team’s finding could be ‘just what the doctor ordered’ for Planet Earth The chunk of metal sitting on a table in Joel Rosenthal’s office at the University of Delaware looks like it should... Read more
