Alkalinity affects the uptake of CO2 and contributes to the long-term buffering capacity of the ocean. Credit: Hereon/Nele Lehmann A recent study by Hereon examines…
Scientists are attempting to use quantum computing technology to solve a practical environmental problem: reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They are…
Researchers have found an effective new method for removing carbon dioxide from the ocean. It could be implemented by ships that would process seawater as…
The research is a small step towards harnessing excess carbon dioxide for practical purposes. A joint effort in chemistry has resulted in an innovative method…
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless gas that is essential for life on Earth. It is naturally present in the atmosphere and is important…
Seeding the oceans with nano-scale fertilizers could create a much-needed, substantial carbon sink. Credit: Illustration by Stephanie King | Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Iron-based fertilizer…
The technology could allow for the transformation of CO2 into useful chemicals such as carbon monoxide and synthetic natural gas in one circular process. According…
Left: the solution is confined by graphene. Right: the solution is confined by stishovite (SiO2). The white, grey, red, and pink balls are the hydrogen,…
Elevated levels of CO2 make it difficult for plants to obtain the minerals necessary to grow and provide nutritious food. Elevated CO2 levels cause mineral…
Bicyclic Carbon Fixation—NREL scientists have designed a pathway for speeding up CO2 fermentation in some species of bacteria. The resulting molecule—acetyl-CoA, with its two unique…
A plastic jug is fodder for a material developed at Rice University that turns waste plastic into a material that absorbs carbon dioxide. The lab…
A new study finds that plants are photosynthesizing more in response to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but nowhere near enough to remove all…
