carbon-capture

Concrete slowly absorbs small amounts of carbon dioxide from the air over its lifetime, a natural process sometimes proposed as a solution to the cement industry's heavy carbon footprint

Last updated: 20 August 2026Data source: CaptureMap project-level database, snapshot 20 August 2026 Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific all have substantial pipelines of carbon capture projects. But project counts alone do not tell us which market is most mature, where the largest projects are being developed, which industries are driving activity, or when developers say […] The post Carbon Ca…

A new study based on global airborne surveys provides more clarity about the amount of carbon dioxide that

My key takeaways about an academic conference held last month at Loria, where I learned about the carbon footprint of data centers and its impact.

The Angolan Highlands are hydrologically and ecologically important - and the region’s newly mapped peatlands are valuable “carbon sinks”.

August 08, 2026 What we pay for something in a shop often doesn’t reflect its true cost. Producing goods causes damage through carbon emissions that drive climate change, but the receipts for that damage rarely show up in the price. The costs are often hidden and diffuse, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. One way to make people pay the full cost is to introduce a carbon price. This can take th…

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is central to achieving carbon neutrality, with CO2 geological storage serving as a key negative-emission pathway. Although extensive research has addressed storage mechanisms and monitoring tools, the site-specific applicability of these techniques and the trade-off between storage security and cost remain insufficiently constrained. This review sy…

Climate mitigation pathways project a 300-fold scale-up in underground CO2 storage this century. We went looking for the assumptions behind that number, and found decade-old cost data, divergent estimates of how much space exists underground, and models that had already moved on.

Senken has signed a multi-year offtake with Carbonsate for 50,000 tonnes of permanent carbon removal from a Puro.earth-verified biomass storage project in Namibia. The post Senken and Carbonsate Sign 50,000-Tonne Biomass Storage Deal in Namibia appeared first on iGrow News .

An international team of researchers developed a method to convert the carbon dioxide emitted from factories into fuel feedstock without cleaning or purifying the gas. Traditionally, carbon capture requires costly, energy-intensive purification steps. A paper published in Science estimates that separating carbon dioxide from coal flue gas and compressing it to 150 bar requires at least 0.11 megaw…

A research team has found that finely ground coconut-shell biochar can simultaneously increase carbon dioxide (CO₂) uptake and improve the mechanical performance of natural hydraulic lime (NHL). The best overall results were obtained by adding 2% biochar with a particle size of 325 mesh. Compared with unmodified NHL, this formulation increased compressive strength by 35.7% after three days and 10…

On August 14, the US Department of the Treasury (Treasury) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced they have modified and extended the available safe harbor for taxpayers who capture and store carbon in dedicated saline geologic formations until such time as Treasury provides further guidance or proposed regulations. The notice issued today provides a path forward for the continued elect…

Milestone reflects more than 15 years of advancing carbon capture technologies through real-world testing. The National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) has reached a major milestone: more than 175,000 hours of technology testing completed in support of the development of carbon capture solutions for power generation and industrial applications. Managed and operated by Southern Company for […] The po…

The production of cement ranks as one of the world’s largest industrial sources of CO₂. A new study now shows how cement production could in future be used to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere – based on a technology utilising lime.  Cement is one of the most in-demand building materials of our time. E...

KAIST and MIT researchers built an e-DOC device that turns dissolved CO2 in seawater into calcium carbonate, removing 80-90% of carbon in 120-hour tests. <p>The post KAIST and MIT convert seawater CO2 into stone for permanent storage first appeared on Winssolutions .</p>

California’s first commercial carbon-burial project is underway, even though the state has yet to adopt rules required by law.

This newly published project profile examines the Moomba CCS Project, a large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in South Australia’s Cooper Basin. Operated by Santos in partnership with Beach Energy, the project captures CO₂ associated with natural gas processing. Initially developed to store CO₂ from joint venture operations, Moomba has the potential to expand […] The post CCS Facil…

Nature Communications, Published online: 10 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-75473-z Contrary to common views, this paper shows that stringent carbon accounting rules sufficiently incentivize electrolytic hydrogen production yet may yield a carbon intensity near that of hydrogen produced from natural gas with carbon capture.

Thryve.Earth, a nature-based carbon-removal developer, signed its first corporate offtake deals, covering more than 635,000 tonnes of carbon removals over 10 years. The post Thryve.Earth Signs 635,000-Tonne Carbon Removal Deals With Google, McKinsey and Tencent appeared first on iGrow News .
