Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar are vital tools to help us make cuts to the 36 billion tons of greenhouse gases we emit each year. But renewables alone can't get us to net zero.

Capturing carbon dioxide from the air or industries and recycling it can sound like a win-win climate solution. The greenhouse gas stays out of the atmosphere where it can warm the planet, and it ...

Oregon State University scientists have filed a patent application for a new carbon-capture material that turns water in ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientist, Charles Seipp, is one of many working to find chemicals that capture carbon dioxide readily and release it with relatively ...

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 ...

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and carbon capture and storage (CCS) are two distinct options to help achieve climate goals by reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Carbon Dioxide Removal ...

Researchers have expanded the potential of carbon capture technology that plucks CO2 directly from the air by demonstrating that there are multiple suitable and abundant materials that can facilitate ...

According to the Paris Agreement established in 2015, nations must pursue efforts “to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.” In the fight against climate change, carbon ...

Electrochemical carbon capture promises low-energy direct air capture (DAC), but demonstrations are often confined to small devices and short lifetimes. Here the authors report a 25-cm 2 symmetric ...

The Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture (YCNCC), created in 2021 to study the fundamental and applied science of natural carbon capture, is taking the next step in its evolution with a new managing ...

Atmospheric CO2 continues to increase and, despite considerable worldwide efforts to cut down on carbon waste, is expected to rise more in coming decades. Researchers demonstrated that new, lower-cost ...
