Current methods of capturing and releasing carbon are expensive and so energy-intensive they often require, counterproductively, the use of fossil fuels. Taking inspiration from plants, Cornell ...

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 ...

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 ...

Solid materials for carbon capture can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but many existing systems remain energy-intensive and costly, because releasing captured carbon dioxide (CO2) typically ...

(CN) — Call it killing two environmental birds with one stone: Researchers in Denmark say they have developed a method to convert plastic garbage into materials that can be used for carbon capture, ...

He added that this approach could be more effective than other methods of carbon capture because it would essentially permanently store the carbon. "It's going to be stored on a time scale of ...

Scientists have created a new kind of carbon material that could make carbon capture much cheaper and more efficient. By carefully controlling how nitrogen atoms are arranged, they found certain ...

Scientists are exploring a new model for carbon capture in low-oxygen aquatic environments, such as fisheries, that will help address rising global temperatures and could potentially be cost-effective ...

A new microwave-assisted method creates nitrogen-doped ultramicroporous carbon from coal in minutes, dramatically cutting energy use while achieving high CO2 capture performance. (Nanowerk News) ...

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 ...
