With varying climate conditions around the world, where are the most cost-effective locations to deploy direct air capture facilities?
Molten salts help capture carbon at high temperatures
Molten salts are renowned for operating at high temperatures and are ideal as a new generation of carbon capture media.
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.
Solar kerosene: One giant leap for humankind
The production of kerosene directly from carbon dioxide and water promises to be a game-changer in the energy field.
How do we take the methane out of natural gas?
An MOF filters methane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide from natural gas with record-breaking selectivity under practical conditions.
Sand batteries that are dirt cheap
How big vats of sand could be a key to a sustainable future.
How the capybara could improve biofuels
Unique enzymes found in the gut of sugarcane-eating capybaras could help convert agricultural waste into low-carbon biofuels.
How biogas from human waste will lead to energy independence
Chicken feathers enhance the quality of biogas produced from human waste, allowing impoverished communities to generate their own power.
Decarbonizing the chemical industry with sustainable photons
Decarbonizing the chemical industry is possible, provided decreases in the cost of solar energy and increases in LED efficiency continue.
Gravity energy storage elevated to new heights
An innovative new gravity storage system with an “elevator” style building design is a viable solution to global grid-scale energy storage.
