Plants capture carbon dioxide naturally, using sunlight to grow and flourish. Scientists have now found inspiration from nature to develop a groundbreaking system that harnesses sunlight for capturing ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 13 Climate action. Carbon capture and conversion technologies are critical in addressing climate change by reducing atmospheric carbon ...

University of Michigan researchers have helped develop a method to take carbon dioxide, an industrial waste product that pollutes the atmosphere and turn it into something useful: precursors to make ...

A new carbon material could make capturing CO2 far cheaper by working with low heat.

Many direct air capture systems rely on heat and oxygen-sensitive materials, which can make them energy-intensive, less efficient, and less durable in real-world air conditions. Researchers devised an ...

A lot of people hate the idea of carbon capture, but I believe that it must be part of our climate solution. The technical hurdles it must face before it can make a difference are high. My first ...

(Nanowerk News) Capturing and storing the carbon dioxide humans produce is key to lowering atmospheric greenhouse gases and slowing global warming, but today's carbon capture technologies work well ...

A new microwave-assisted method creates nitrogen-doped ultramicroporous carbon from coal in minutes, dramatically cutting energy use while achieving high CO2 capture performance. (Nanowerk News) ...

As the world grapples with the urgent need to limit global warming to less than +2.0°C, carbon dioxide removal technologies have moved from the margins to the mainstream of climate strategy. According ...
