Pipeline proposed to bury European CO2 off Norway
Jun 29, 2022 (AFP)
If it goes forward, the pipeline would be one of the largest carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS) projects in the world. CCS is looked at by business as ...
Spain cracks gang running carbon tax fraud
Jun 28, 2022 (AFP)
In a series of raids, police arrested 27 suspects and seized 110 tonnes of different kinds of gas worth 11 million euros. The gang specialised in the "illegal t...
New carbon form has good potential
Jun 21, 2022 (XNA)
Fullerene, sometimes referred to as "buckyballs", is a cage-like structure made of 60 connected carbon atoms that resembles the shape of a hollow soccer ball. D...
Metaspectral wins funding from CSA to develop new greenhouse gas monitoring method
Jun 16, 2022 (SPX)
Metaspectral has created a hybrid on-premise and cloud-based software platform that is used in a variety of industries to identify materials and their character...
Canada unveils carbon emissions offset market
Jun 08, 2022 (AFP)
Under the system, registered participants can generate one credit for each tonne of emissions they reduce or remove from the atmosphere. Credits can then be sol...
Textile filter testing shows promise for carbon capture
Jun 07, 2022 (SPX)
The findings from initial laboratory testing represent a step forward in the development of a possible new carbon capture technology that could reduce carbon di...
Atmospheric CO2 more than 50 percent higher than pre-industrial era
Jun 03, 2022 (AFP)
Global warming caused by humans, particularly through the production of electricity using fossil fuels, transport, the production of cement, or even deforestati...
Capturing carbon with crops, trees and bioenergy
Jun 01, 2022 (SPX)
"Using only land management or bioenergy in an either-or scenario turns out to be short-sighted," said Phil Robertson, a University Distinguished Professor of P...
Carbon capture takes sponge-like form with new cost-effective method
May 24, 2022 (SPX)
The materials are made from sugar and low-cost alkali metal salts, so they would be inexpensive enough for large-scale deployment, and they could be particularl...
Billionaires promote CO2-removing schemes to protect climate
May 24, 2022 (AFP)
"That'll fund a year of R&D (research and development)... or two-thirds of a factory," Axel Reinaud told AFP. The XPrize Carbon Removal competition, set up by t...
Tropical vegetation benefits less from elevated atmospheric CO2
May 06, 2022 (SPX)
Climate scientists have suggested that this same CO2 fertilization effect-acting on planetary rather than greenhouse scales-could help offset global warming by ...
Land-building marsh plants are champions of carbon capture
May 06, 2022 (SPX)
A new study published May 6 in Science by a team of Dutch, American and German scientists shows that it's not too late to reverse the losses. The key to success...
Hybrid electro-biosystem upcycles carbon dioxide into energy-rich long-chain compounds
Apr 29, 2022 (SPX)
However, compared with facilely available C1/C2 products, efficient and sustainable synthesis of energy-rich long-chain compounds from CO2 still remains a huge ...
Cryptic carbon sequestration
Apr 26, 2022 (SPX)

Illinois Tech to scale up carbon capture and conversion process
Apr 25, 2022 (SPX)
"Once we capture the carbon dioxide, we can convert it to other carbon-based products, such as ethanol, which is the main chemical behind many disinfectants," s...
Guiding a superconducting future with graphene quantum magic
Apr 20, 2022 (SPX)
For a material to behave as a superconductor, low temperatures are required. Most materials only enter the superconducting phase at extremely low temperatures, ...
Huge Amazon swamp carbon stores under threat
Apr 15, 2022 (SPX)
