Scientists agree that we’re going to need to build machines to suck carbon from the sky to stave off the worst impacts of climate change—but there are a lot of challenges for this new industry in the ...

“The beauty of this method is that we solve a problem without creating a new one. By turning waste into a raw material that can actively reduce greenhouse gases, we make an environmental issue part of ...

It’s clear that we can no longer avoid the impacts of climate change — we’re already experiencing the economic, societal, and ecosystem impacts of extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and ...

Using nanoscale filtering membranes, researchers at MIT have added a simple intermediate step that makes the process of removing carbon dioxide from the air more efficient. Removing carbon dioxide ...

Capturing carbon dioxide from industrial plants is an important strategy in the efforts to reduce the impact of global climate change. It's used in many industries, including the production of ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The new devices run at ambient temperatures and pressures, making them smaller and cheaper than the reactors used to heat amines for CO 2 release.

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO 2) from industrial emissions is crucial in the fight against climate change. But current methods, like chemical absorption, are expensive and energy-intensive. Scientists ...

Chemists at the University of Copenhagen have developed a method to convert plastic waste into a climate solution for efficient and sustainable CO 2 capture. This is killing two birds with one stone ...
