New Soil Models May Ease Atmospheric CO2, Climate Change
Researchers say scientists should develop new models that more accurately reflect the carbon-storage processes beneath our feet, in order to effectively draw down atmospheric CO2
World Can Likely Capture and Store Enough CO2 to Meet Climate Targets
Carbon capture and storage would be used alongside other interventions such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and electrification of the transportation sector
If the World Can Capture Carbon, There's Capacity to Store It
Humankind will need to harness carbon capture and storage technologies to help keep global warming to 2 degrees C or less; new research shows that there's plenty of room to store captured CO2—in offshore geologic rock formations
A Sustainable New Material for Carbon Dioxide Capture
So far, the materials and processes involved in carbon capture and storage have been associated with significant negative side effects and high costs
Plants and Fungi Together Could Slow Climate Change
A recent study identifies a potential mechanism that could be used to decrease atmospheric CO2 via enhanced soil carbon storage
Engineers Develop a New Way to Remove Carbon Dioxide from Air
The process could work on the gas at any concentrations, from power plant emissions to open air
New Material Captures Carbon Dioxide
The captured CO2 can be converted into useful organic materials
Next-Gen Membranes for Carbon Capture
Carbon capture can be done using so-called "high-performance membranes," which are polymer filters that can specifically pick out CO2 from a mix of gases
New Battery Gobbles up Carbon Dioxide
Lithium-based battery could make use of greenhouse gas before it ever gets into the atmosphere
