The fuels we burn add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. A new compact power plant is starting up in Finland that could help combat the problem by converting ...

Researchers have developed an electrochemical reactor that can lower energy consumption for direct air capture and the removal of carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Developed by Rice ...

The world is racing to curb emissions of planet-heating carbon dioxide (CO2). Industrial plants are among the numerous sources contributing to emissions. In recent years, carbon capture technology has ...

What if the air we breathe became a source of clean energy? Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a solar-powered device capable of capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the ...

Researchers have invented a system that captures carbon dioxide from ocean water and converts it to succinic acid, a key ...

If there's one big environmental concern surrounding power plants that burn material such as coal in order to produce power, it's the amount of carbon dioxide that they release into the atmosphere.

Twice now I've been dazzled by schemes for scrubbing CO2 out of the atmosphere and turning it into fuel. In July 2008 it was NaOH scrubbers and exotic catalysts; in March 2012, it was ionic amine ...

A research team has suggested an innovative concept of a reactor cooled by supercritical state carbon dioxide (S-CO2). The core has long life (20 years) without refueling as well as inherent safety ...

We recycle cans, we recycle clothes, yes, we even recycle bras and old prosthetic limbs. But what if you could recycle some of your fossil fuels, the carbon dioxide (CO2) that's emitted from using ...
