Rice University researchers have developed an enhanced electrochemical reactor that promises a hopeful leap forward in making direct air capture (DAC)—the process of collecting carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the atmosphere—more energy efficient. This innovative design has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions and promote effective CO₂ mitigation solutions [...]
A new material invented by University of California, Berkeley researchers has the potential to transform direct air capture of carbon and get us closer to zero emissions. Capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) has become essential to lowering atmospheric greenhouse gasses and preventing global warming as CO2 levels continue to [...]
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the crucial technologies for reducing global temperature rise to far below 2°C, ideally 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels. However, a recent study performed by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the University of Bergen in Norway predicts that without rapid expansion [...]
A novel discovery in concrete manufacture by the University of Northwestern’s team of engineers provides dual benefits, absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment while maintaining if not increasing, concrete strength. This new technique, which employs a carbonated water-based solution throughout manufacture, has the potential to greatly impact worldwide efforts to mitigate climate [...]
