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 ...

Power plants and industrial facilities that emit carbon dioxide, the primary driver of global warming, are hopeful that Congress will keep tax credits for capturing the gas and storing it deep ...

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 ...

Demand Summary Rising atmospheric CO2 levels and the cost of carbon capture and sequestration present challenges for the Oil & Gas, ...

As the world searches for practical ways to slow climate change, scientists are taking a closer look at an unlikely material: biochar, a carbon-rich substance made from agricultural residues, wood ...

Carbon capture has long been a story of compromise. Materials that soak up large quantities of carbon dioxide tend to grab everything else in the gas stream too, while materials that discriminate ...

HAWESVILLE, Ky. -- Beside a cow pasture in Hancock County, scientists are drilling through 8,000 feet of rock, hoping to learn how to lock away forever an invisible gas that threatens Earth's climate ...

ARLINGTON, Va. – U.S. military researchers needed a way to generate fuel from local sources of carbon dioxide to provide electric power and battery charging on the battlefield. They found a solution ...

Could a seemingly magical 300-year-old technology save us from climate change? Chemists have been pulling carbon dioxide out of the air for almost 300 years, but can this seemingly magical technology ...
