The expensive carbon capture technology that climate models relied on to save the planet isn't happening, and scientists say that's a win. Bioenergy with carbon capture would have made emissions worse for decades while costing taxpayers billions.
Researchers at Aarhus University have discovered how to transform discarded plastic into a material that pulls carbon dioxide from the air. The breakthrough could tackle two environmental problems at once while making carbon capture more sustainable.
A breakthrough carbon material releases CO2 at just 60°C, low enough to run on factory waste heat instead of expensive energy. This could finally make carbon capture affordable for widespread use.
Singapore is launching a groundbreaking pilot project to capture carbon emissions from waste-burning power plants in one of the world's densest cities. This could show other urban areas how to generate clean energy from trash without adding to climate change. #
Japanese researchers just cracked a major barrier in carbon capture technology, creating materials that release CO2 at half the temperature of current methods. This breakthrough could dramatically cut the costs holding back large-scale climate solutions.
Egypt and Norway are deepening their energy partnership with plans to bring cutting-edge carbon capture technology and green hydrogen projects to the Middle East. The five-year collaboration could transform Egypt into a clean energy hub while helping Europe meet its climate goals.
A proposed Nebraska project could power one of America's largest data centers while testing carbon capture technology at an unprecedented scale. The facility aims to meet surging AI energy demands without raising local electricity costs.
A new study shows every dollar spent on renewable energy delivers far greater climate benefits than expensive carbon capture technology. The research offers a clear roadmap for where climate investments should go first.
Thailand's cement manufacturers are launching a groundbreaking mobile carbon capture pilot that could transform how one of the world's most polluting industries reaches net zero emissions. This project brings together international partners and an $8 million investment to test cutting-edge technology across real cement plants.
A California company just raised $27 million to expand technology that captures carbon emissions using advanced membranes, offering industries a proven way to cut pollution today. With 450 systems already running worldwide, this funding could accelerate cleaner air across petrochemical plants, refineries, and power stations.
The shipping industry is installing onboard carbon capture systems on existing vessels to slash emissions while waiting for clean fuel technology to scale. This retrofit solution helps one of the world's hardest industries to decarbonize meet climate targets years ahead of schedule. #
MIT researchers developed a breakthrough carbon capture technology that avoids the expensive, energy-draining problems plaguing current methods. The innovation could finally make removing CO2 from the air affordable and scalable enough to fight climate change.
Two European cargo ships are getting a groundbreaking upgrade that slashes pollution now and prepares them to capture carbon later. It's the first time this dual-purpose technology has been installed on car carrier vessels.
Two car carrier ships are getting a major green upgrade that slashes pollution today and prepares them to capture carbon tomorrow. It's the first time this innovative technology has been installed on this type of vessel.
New research shows Florida's Everglades is pulling more carbon from the air than ever before, with mangroves leading the charge. Scientists now have a detailed roadmap for making the wetlands an even stronger climate solution.
A major new study reveals investing in solar and wind energy delivers far greater climate and health benefits than direct air capture technology in nearly every scenario through 2050. The finding could reshape billions in climate spending decisions.
A British lime factory is installing cutting-edge carbon capture technology that could transform one of the hardest industries to clean up. The breakthrough system uses less energy and takes up less space than traditional carbon capture methods.
A New York company has created a fridge-sized machine that pulls carbon dioxide from the air and converts it into usable gasoline. While the technology works, it's expensive and produces just one gallon per day.
Energy companies Idex and Nuada have opened France's first major BECCS facility capable of removing 10,000 tons of CO2 annually. This breakthrough hub marks a significant step in Europe's fight against climate change.
ExxonMobil is now capturing and storing over 3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year from Louisiana industrial facilities, turning the state into a hub for emissions reduction. The technology is helping energy-intensive industries cut their carbon footprint while keeping American jobs and products competitive.
