Initiatives to have carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbed and captured in seaweed and seagrass are taking root across Japan, where ...

Japan’s largest test plant for direct air capture (DAC) technology, which combats global warming by extracting carbon dioxide ...

A joint research team from Nitto Boseki Co., Ltd. (Nittobo) and Tohoku University has revealed that Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs ...

Cement-based materials provide a potential solution for mitigating climate change by trapping and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide as minerals, via a process known as carbonation. Despite extensive ...

A new process could enable crushed rocks to capture carbon dioxide from the air much more quickly, turbocharging a carbon removal technique that is already being widely adopted. Natural silicate ...

Excess carbon dioxide emitted by human activities—such as fossil fuel burning, land-use changes, and deforestation—is known as anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Approximately thirty percent of this ...

Subtle temperature differences at the ocean surface allow more carbon dioxide (CO2) to be absorbed, new research shows. Subtle temperature differences at the ocean surface allow more carbon dioxide ...

However, the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of forests, also known as carbon sinks, is becoming increasingly weaker. This is shown by calculations of multi-year carbon budgets by an international ...

As Earth warms, the Arctic Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is waning due to melting permafrost and worsening coastal erosion, according to new research. A study published ...

Scientists at Oregon State University have discovered a method to significantly enhance the carbon dioxide absorption capacity of a chemical structure, more than doubling its effectiveness for ...

Stripping seawater of carbon dioxide via electrochemical processes — thereby prompting oceans to draw down more greenhouse gas from the atmosphere — is a geoengineering approach under consideration ...

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions are currently one of the leading causes of global warming. Cement-based materials have shown promising applications in capturing and solidifying CO 2 as minerals ...
