US researchers have developed Enzymatic Structural Material (ESM), a carbon-negative alternative to concrete that ...

The imperative to mitigate climate change has spurred extensive research into carbon dioxide capture technologies. Among the most promising strategies is the employment of carbonic anhydrase (CA), a ...

Using light instead of heat, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a new way to release carbon dioxide, or CO2, from a solvent used in direct air capture, ...

The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) is a promising means of carbon capture and use. The reaction not only removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere but also transforms it ...

Could a seemingly magical 300-year-old technology save us from climate change? Chemists have been pulling carbon dioxide out of the air for almost 300 years, but can this seemingly magical technology ...

The discovery of how a critical enzyme 'hidden in nature's blueprint' works sheds new light on how cells control key processes in carbon fixation, a process fundamental for life on Earth. The ...

In Terre Haute, Ind. in the 1870s one Jacob Baur ran a drugstore. When he needed soda water for his fountain, he would put some marble dust in a bottle, add sulphuric acid, capture the escaping carbon ...

The planet’s capacity to store carbon-dioxide emissions in rock formations is much smaller than previous estimates suggest, and it could run out as early as 2200, according to a study 1 published in ...
