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.
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.
A groundbreaking fertilizer plant in the Netherlands just started capturing 800,000 tons of CO2 annually, shipping it to Norway for permanent underground storage. It's the first complete cross-border carbon capture system in Europe, proving industrial decarbonization can happen at massive scale today.
A pilot project just proved that cargo ships can capture their own carbon emissions at sea, permanently store them as solid minerals, and earn official climate credits from the European Union. It's the first system to move ship-captured CO2 from ocean to permanent storage, and regulators are backing it.
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. #
New technology installed directly on cargo ships is now capturing up to 40% of their carbon emissions, offering a practical solution while the shipping industry waits for cleaner fuels to become available.
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 fertilizer company in the Netherlands just launched Europe's biggest carbon capture facility, marking a major step forward in technology that pulls planet-warming gases before they reach our air. While the tech works beautifully at small scales, the race is now on to build enough plants to make a real dent in climate change.
Canada just broke ground on what will become the country's largest carbon capture facility, capable of storing 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually. The project could open new doors for farmers, biofuel producers, and rural communities across the Prairies.
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.
