“The paper demonstrates the significance of a material’s pore size (pockets of space within porous materials where carbon dioxide can nestle) in predicting its power to capture carbon. The engineers argue this type of research will support the development of […]
It’s interesting that this work comes from Stanford, which is host to Professor Mark Jacobson (not mentioned here), profound hater of carbon capture as a climate solution. True diversity of opinions over there! “Stanford University chemists have developed a practical, […]
Researchers created a new carbon material with a vast molecular surface area. “After the material was created, the researchers tested it to see how much carbon dioxide it could sequester from the atmosphere. The result was that in just two […]
“Our new electrodes achieved up to 90% utilization of the active capture material, significantly outperforming previous carbon-based electrodes.” ~ learn more
There’s big money going into things that could lower carbon. Here’s the launch of a $1.4 billion new fund. “The fund, Decarbonization Partners Fund I, has already invested in seven companies including low-carbon hydrogen firm Monolith, biotechnology firm MycoWorks and […]
“We work with a multidisciplinary group of top scientific experts to help us evaluate promising carbon removal technologies.” The group’s backers have committed to spending $1 Billion on this critical work. They are bridging the early demand gap to get […]
“Like on-land carbon capture technologies, which can extract carbon from our air, marine carbon capture harvests the molecules from seawater or the air above. Carbon causes problems for both: Excess carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere creates a kind of […]
A long piece in The New Yorker digs deep into the carbon offsets market and one of its big players, South Pole. “Offsetting has been hailed as a fix for runaway emissions and climate change—but the market’s largest firm sold […]
I was reading something that relied on carbon dating estimates, and I decided to check how accurate the dating process is. Spoiler: it’s pretty accurate. But last year, a discovery called into question its usefulness for dating within the span […]
