Scientists agree that we’re going to need to build machines to suck carbon from the sky to stave off the worst impacts of climate change—but there are a lot of challenges for this new industry in the ...

It’s clear that we can no longer avoid the impacts of climate change — we’re already experiencing the economic, societal, and ecosystem impacts of extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and ...

“The beauty of this method is that we solve a problem without creating a new one. By turning waste into a raw material that can actively reduce greenhouse gases, we make an environmental issue part of ...

Using nanoscale filtering membranes, researchers at MIT have added a simple intermediate step that makes the process of removing carbon dioxide from the air more efficient. Removing carbon dioxide ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The new devices run at ambient temperatures and pressures, making them smaller and cheaper than the reactors used to heat amines for CO 2 release.

Chemical engineers have found a simple way to make capturing carbon emissions from industrial plants more energy-efficient.

Chemists at the University of Copenhagen have developed a method to convert plastic waste into a climate solution for efficient and sustainable CO 2 capture. This is killing two birds with one stone ...
