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
On Mars or Earth, Biohybrid Can Turn CO2 into New Products
Bacteria on nanowires convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to organic building blocks
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
Mountain Streams Emit a Surprising Amount of CO2
The role that mountain streams play in global carbon fluxes has not yet been evaluated—until now
New Material Captures Carbon Dioxide
The captured CO2 can be converted into useful organic materials
Humankind Did Not Live with a High-Carbon Dioxide Atmosphere until 1965
Texas A&M's Yige Zhang co-authored new study proving Earth's carbon dioxide atmospheric concentrations averaged 230 parts per million for 2.5 million years; today's levels are about 410 parts per million
High Carbon Dioxide Can Create 'Shrinking Stems' in Marshes
Marshes grow shorter, denser stems under high carbon dioxide, which can help them resist sea level rise
Research Team Discovers New Route to Carbon-Neutral Fuels from Carbon Dioxide
Carbon-neutral re-use of CO2 has emerged as an alternative to burying the greenhouse gas underground
Plastics, Fuels, and Chemical Feedstocks from CO2? They're Working on It
SUNCAT researchers discover a way to improve a key step in these conversions, and explore what it would take to turn the climate-changing gas into valuable products on an industrial scale
