As valuable resources dwindle and environmental risks loom, reducing our dependence on traditional agriculture is becoming necessary.
A carbon dioxide-recycling yeast boosts bioethanol production
A genetically engineered strain of yeast is reducing the amount of carbon dioxide produced during the production of ethanol biofuels.
New tech captures carbon dioxide and produces green hydrogen from seawater
A clever ocean-based device pulls and permanently sequesters carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, generating green hydrogen in the process.
Supercharging carbon dioxide capture
A new carbon capture technique called supercapacitive swing adsorption separates carbon dioxide from gaseous mixtures in the air and industrial flue gases.
“Carbon Negative Earthshot” takes aim at atmospheric carbon dioxide
An all-hands-on-deck initiative aims to fast track innovative technologies to remove atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide locked in stone
Mineralization of carbon dioxide has some serious advantages over physical traps, giving rise to potential carbon-negative industries.
A natural way of turning off the carbon dioxide tap, California style
A new report outlines in quantitative detail the range of options, trade-offs, and costs to guide future policies in achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.
Could a human settlement on Mars be sustained with carbon dioxide?
The chemistry of carbon dioxide may not save the human race on Earth, but could enable a new beginning for life on the red planet.
Imagining how “synthetic topology” could reform carbon dioxide catalysis
Solid-state physicists and materials chemists are now in excellent “shape” to expand and accelerate their explorations of the science of topological materials for a wide range of possible applications.
Waste carbon dioxide converted to synthetic fuels
