As our many inborn biases go, it's not the worst, but it can be a double-edged sword. Now, a new study published in the ...

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 ...

As the world grapples with the urgent need to limit global warming to less than +2.0°C, carbon dioxide removal technologies have moved from the margins to the mainstream of climate strategy. According ...

Carbon dioxide forms around 10 per cent of a typical coal power station’s exhaust gas, so before burial it must be separated from other gases. Burying all the exhaust would be infeasible, not least ...

Scientists have found that an item widely used in kitchens can absorb planet-heating carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, in what they hope will become a low-cost and efficient tool to slow climate ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new chemical process transforms plastic waste into an effective carbon capture material. The method works with polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the ubiquitous clear ...

The scale of market efforts to remove carbon is increasingly important, according to climate experts. In 2022, the International Panel on Climate Change said that reducing emissions from industrial ...

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 ...

UC Berkeley chemists have discovered a way to capture carbon dioxide, or CO2, at high temperatures, making it possible to store and release emissions from industrial exhaust streams. These findings ...

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 ...
