Magnesium oxide is a promising material for capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and injecting it deep underground to limit the effects of climate change. But making the method ...

New advancements in satellite technology are transforming how we understand the role oceans play in regulating carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in Earth’s atmosphere. While the oceans have long served as a ...

Cement-based materials provide a potential solution for mitigating climate change by trapping and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide as minerals, via a process known as carbonation. Despite extensive ...

Of all the planet-warming greenhouse gases human activity releases into the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is the most significant emission. As such, experts have suggested that, in addition to ...

Just about every industry is working to reduce carbon emissions, but reduction won't be enough. To prevent the worst effects of global warming, carbon that has already been emitted needs to be removed ...

Excess carbon dioxide emitted by human activities—such as fossil fuel burning, land-use changes, and deforestation—is known as anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Approximately thirty percent of this ...

Membrane contactors have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional carbon capture systems by marrying the high selectivity of liquid absorption with the compact modularity of membrane ...

New research could improve the efficiency of electrochemical carbon-dioxide capture and release by six times and cut costs by at least 20 percent. Researchers added nanoscale filtering membranes to a ...

Dumping alkaline green sand into shallow seas could increase ocean absorption of carbon dioxide by 8 per cent this century, according to a modelling study.

The latest Emissions Gap Report by the UN shows that the world has to cut current emissions by 45% to avoid reaching the dreaded 1.5 degrees temperature rise. According to the report, the signatories ...
