A groundbreaking model reveals that coastal salt marshes capture 67 million tons of carbon yearly, filling a major gap in our understanding of nature's climate solutions. The breakthrough helps scientists finally measure these hidden carbon heroes.
Kenya just opened Africa's first national carbon registry, a breakthrough system that could help the continent claim its fair share of the $2 billion global carbon market. The platform tracks every carbon credit project, prevents fraud, and ensures local communities actually benefit from climate action.
China's carbon trading market surged 24% in 2025 after adding three major industrial sectors, now covering 60% of the nation's total emissions. The expansion brings over 3,300 major polluters into a system designed to slash greenhouse gases through market forces.
Scientists confirm that biochar, a carbon-rich material made from waste, can fight climate change while improving soil, cleaning water, and boosting crop yields. The technology turns agricultural waste into a powerful tool that stores carbon for millennia.
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.
Four startups are helping Indian farmers earn money not just from crops, but from keeping carbon out of the atmosphere. The programs turn sustainable farming practices into verified carbon credits that generate real income.
Scientists just confirmed how seaweed from Greenland's coast travels hundreds of miles offshore and sinks deep into the ocean, locking away carbon for at least a century. This natural climate helper might be storing millions of tons of carbon every year without us even realizing it.
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.
Over 230 experts from dozens of countries gathered in Kazakhstan to accelerate carbon capture technology that could store millions of tons of CO2. China's Sinopec is leading the charge with groundbreaking projects already pulling carbon from the air.
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.
Google, Meta, and McKinsey are backing Living Carbon, a company using science to make trees better at fighting climate change. The investment marks growing corporate support for nature-based solutions that pull carbon from the air.
Scientists discovered how to transform drained agricultural peatlands from major greenhouse gas emitters into powerful carbon sinks using a combination of rewetting and biochar. The breakthrough could help protect ecosystems that store more carbon than all the world's forests combined.
A Nova Scotia company is testing a breakthrough method to trap carbon in the ocean for thousands of years. The pilot project mimics nature's own carbon-storing process, but speeds it up dramatically.
China just finished building its first zero-carbon industrial park in Hebei Province, where factories run entirely on renewable energy without adding carbon to the atmosphere. The breakthrough shows how manufacturing can grow while cleaning up the planet.
Industrial carbon removal is now a commercial reality, offering hope for tackling emissions we can't yet eliminate. New technologies are turning waste into permanent carbon storage while creating jobs and energy.
India just rolled out a game-changing carbon trading system that rewards companies for going green. The move creates financial incentives for industries to slash their carbon footprint while opening new opportunities for renewable energy producers.
A new competition is rewarding British farmers who are cutting emissions and inspiring others to fight climate change. The Carbon Farmer of the Year contest opens this March, backed by the Farm Carbon Toolkit and HSBC UK.
MIT scientists discovered that ocean bacteria work in teams to break down tough algae molecules, revealing a surprising key to how oceans store carbon for centuries. The finding could help us predict and enhance natural carbon storage in our seas.
China just expanded carbon reporting to six major industries, covering up to 2,400 million tons of emissions. The move builds infrastructure to price carbon in sectors like chemicals, glass, and aviation by 2027.
A Finnish company is transforming lignin—the part of wood that usually gets burned—into sleek wall tiles that lock away carbon for thousands of years. The material stores twice as much carbon as wood and never decays.
