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 [...]
Scientists at the Fritz Haber Institute’s Interface Science Department found a revolutionary process for transforming carbon dioxide into ethanol. According to a significant paper published in Energy & Environmental Science recently. This development could lead to sustainable and economically viable alternatives to fossil fuels. As transforming Carbon Dioxide into ethanol [...]
Newcastle University researchers have invented a revolutionary humidity-driven membrane that uses ambient energy to efficiently remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air. This innovative method addresses the essential difficulty of direct air capture (DAC), which has been named one of the “Seven Chemical Separations to Change the World.” The novel [...]
