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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Toronto have developed a novel solid–liquid phase change absorbent (PCA) system that offers highly efficient CO₂ capture across a ...

An international research team headed by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the University of Siegen has synthesized a new compound, which forms a so-called covalent organic framework. The ...

MIT researchers have developed a new electrochemical approach that could make carbon dioxide capture more energy-efficient and scalable, offering an alternative to conventional amine-based systems ...

Carbon capture represents a cornerstone technology in global strategies to achieve deep decarbonization and mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic greenhouse ...

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.

“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 ...
