Fungus-farming ants have evolved a remarkable solution to the danger of excess carbon dioxide inside their nests – which ...

Joe Powell from the University of Houston Energy Transition Institute, asks why capture CO2 from the air? “Capture of dilute CO2 directly from the air at 450 parts per million requires more than three ...

Discover how oceans, living organisms, and plants naturally absorb carbon dioxide and why plants play a vital role in our planet’s balance. Explore the groundbreaking invention by physicist Klaus ...

Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased dramatically. This rise has contributed ...

Using nanoscale filtering membranes, researchers at MIT have added a simple intermediate step that makes the process of removing carbon dioxide from the air more efficient. Removing carbon dioxide ...

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 ...

A new study shows the potential of an MOF to capture CO2 with strong low-pressure uptake and efficient regeneration under mild conditions.

A catalyst design developed in the lab of Professor Ted Sargent increases efficiency, turning captured CO₂ into high-purity ethylene for plastics and packaging.

Then it converts that captured gas into gasoline using water and renewable electricity. Direct air capture itself is not new. Facilities in Europe and the United States already use large industrial ...

In an industrial park in North Las Vegas, near an Amazon warehouse and a waste storage facility, a new carbon removal plant is beginning to pull CO2 from the air and store it permanently. Called ...

A nanofiber air filter developed at the University of Chicago could turn existing building ventilation into carbon-capture devices while cutting homeowners’ energy costs. A life-cycle analysis shows ...

Over the past century, the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere has increased dramatically, causing shifting weather patterns and more frequent droughts. A research team led by Arizona State ...
