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 ...

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 ...

At its core, carbon capture refers to technologies designed to remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from large point sources — like power plants, cement factories, or steel mills — or directly from the air.

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 ...

Industrial carbon capture solvents are specialized chemical media that selectively absorb carbon dioxide from gases emitted by thermal power plants, refineries, cement kilns, steel facilities, and ...

It is increasingly likely that we will not reach the 2030 targets for reducing CO₂ emissions, nor those set for 2050. As a result, many people are now arguing that we should instead focus our efforts ...

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 ...

Billions have been invested in technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the sky in recent years. But Trump’s policies have clouded the outlook. By David Gelles Six months ago, the prospects for the ...

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 ...

Directly capturing CO2 from the air has become one of the most talked about tools in the fight against climate change. But much of the conversation revolves around a single, seemingly magical number: ...
