A University of Nebraska-Lincoln research team has identified new microscopic players in the global carbon cycle, a discovery ...

Scientists have discovered how to turn common minerals into materials that spontaneously remove and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the lab, the materials pull CO2 from the air thousands ...

Stanford researchers developed a scalable method to permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere using heat-activated minerals.

A research team has shown that methanogens, micro-organisms ubiquitous in low-oxygen environments like aquifers, soil and even permafrost, can propel their growth by dissolving calcium carbonate, one ...

The technique is pretty straightforward and potentially very cheap, but will need to be scaled up significantly to make a difference.

Spreading crushed rocks on fields can absorb CO2 from the air – now chemists have devised a way to turbocharge this process ...

Scientists at Stanford University developed carbon capture technique they say is more practical and cost-effective ...

“This is one of the first demonstrations of microbial dissolution of calcium carbonate at a ... is determining which other carbonate materials methanogens are capable of dissolving and searching ...

Among the myriad creatures that populate our ocean, some stand out as having an outsized impact on the marine environment—shaping and maintaining habitats that themselves sustain countless other forms ...

Eggshells or other food waste could help produce tires with a lower environmental impact, based on an idea proposed by ...
