Natural biological systems cannot efficiently convert waste CO₂ or its derivatives into useful building-block chemicals at a scale that can keep pace with rising atmospheric carbon. Engineer a fully ...

The projected rise in CO2 emissions in 2025 is driven by growth in coal, like the coal-fired plant pictured, as well as oil and gas, according to the 2025 Global Carbon Budget Report. Global carbon ...

A new copper-magnesium-iron catalyst transforms CO2 into CO at low temperatures with record-breaking efficiency and stability. The discovery paves the way for affordable, scalable production of carbon ...

Tree trunks in the Amazon are getting 3.3% thicker every decade as the plants absorb extra carbon dioxide, suggesting they are more resilient to global warming than previously thought. When you ...

The storage available for safe carbon storage could be far lower than current estimates, according to a new study. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been touted as a viable method for drawing ...

The award-winning science writer Peter Brannen makes the case for an often vilified compound in “The Story of CO2 Is the Story of Everything.” By Jaime Green Jaime Green is the author of “The ...

The Manhattan-sized interstellar object rocketing through Earth’s inner solar system is covered by a cloud of carbon dioxide, a characteristic that shocked experts, according to an analysis of brand ...

Oslo —The world's first commercial service offering carbon storage off Norway's coast has carried out its inaugural CO2 injection into the North Sea seabed, the Northern Lights consortium operating ...

Is carbon dioxide a pollutant? A small but vocal group of researchers, authors and government officials say it is time to change the definition. Greenhouse gases including CO2 are considered air ...

Mining generates billions of tonnes of waste rock each year. If those piles of unused rock can be made to react with carbon dioxide, they could help remove large amounts of the greenhouse gas from the ...

Transcripts are generated using a combination of speech recognition software and human transcribers, and may contain errors. Please check the corresponding audio for the authoritative record. Penny ...

Scientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The material hardens over time, so it could be used for buildings, they say. When ...
