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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

With the increase in international economic exchange, the shipping industry, as the main mode of global trade, has expanded steadily. However, this growth has resulted in a pressing issue: rising ...

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO 2) from industrial emissions is crucial in the fight against climate change. But current methods, like chemical absorption, are expensive and energy-intensive. Scientists ...

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

Direct air capture (DAC) is widely considered as a critical negative emission technology to not only mitigate but reverse global climate change. While commercially expanding, its efficiency is limited ...

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.

Amine solvents are the leading technologies for post-combustion capture, but innovation is ongoing The current scale of carbon capture technologies for post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture, ...

“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 ...
