carbon-capture

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emissions is considered one of the key tools for fighting climate change. However, today’s carbon capture technologies are often expensive, energy-intensive, and difficult to expand on a large scale. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a promising new approach that could make carbon capture more efficient and flexible in […] The post MIT scientist…

On March 23, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued IRS Notice 2026-23, titled “Public Recommendations Invited on Items to be Included on the 2026-2027 Priority Guidance Plan.” The Carbon Capture Coalition responded to the request for information (RFI), identifying several areas within regulations relevant to carbon management that the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) and the IRS must urg…

Coal has long carried a reputation for pollution and heavy emissions. But what if it could suddenly play a very different role in the energy world?

HowGood, a product carbon footprint automation company, and Sweep, an AI-powered sustainability intelligence platform, have announced an integration partnership targeting food and agriculture companies navigating increasingly granular emissions reporting requirements. The post HowGood and Sweep Partner to Connect Product Carbon Footprints with Enterprise Sustainability Reporting appeared first on…

A new global report warns that current carbon dioxide removal initiatives will fall 5 billion tonnes short of what’s needed to meet […] The post The world is falling behind on CO₂ removal technology – Expert Reaction appeared first on Science Media Centre .

Novel forms of CO 2 removal must expand at ‘highly ambitious rates’ if world is to limit global heating to 1.5C, says study Humanity must suck carbon out of the atmosphere with new technologies even faster than the breakneck speed with which it has deployed solar panels if it is to limit global heating to 1.5C, a report has found. Novel forms of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) must grow at “highly a…

UNDO received a $5 million award from the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition for its enhanced rock weathering (ERW) solution. The post UNDO Publishes SAT-C Research to Unlock Year-Round Enhanced Rock Weathering Measurement appeared first on iGrow News .

Researchers have developed a tandem process that converts carbon dioxide into carbon nanofibers, offering a route to net-negative emissions. The post Beyond net zero: converting carbon dioxide into solid carbon for long-term storage appeared first on Advanced Science News .

Nanocomposites comprising of nanoparticles and porous carbon materials have evolved as potential hybrid materials for CO2 capture from source, i.e. direct air capture (DAC).

Road transportation is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet roadside vegetation along expressways can serve as an effective carbon sink. However, systematic assessments of the carbon sequestration potential of roadside plants in central China remain limited. This study evaluated the carbon sequestration capacity of vegetation along a 158 km section of the G4 Expressway in H…

The unsustainable growth of the world resulted in a polluted ecosystem with high energy demand. In recent years, nanomaterials and nanocomposites have shown their potentials for energy and environmental remediation through adsorption, reactive oxygen generation through electro- and photocatalysis.

Nature, Published online: 27 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10607-3 Temporary carbon dioxide removal can offset short-lived non-CO2 climate forcers, providing a viable physical approach for crediting temporary carbon dioxide removal activities in industries in which non-CO2 emissions dominate and direct emission reductions are difficult.

The 2026 Sargassum season is shaping up to be one of the largest and earliest on record. Driven by warming

Researchers have built an enzyme-powered material that turns carbon dioxide into solid minerals. It is strong, fast-curing, and carbon-negative.

Microsoft is responsible for over 90% of the carbon removal market, and reports suggested the company was pausing purchases entirely. This new deal should help assuage the fears of CDR startups.

Storing carbon dioxide in rocks while producing hydrogen from them - and perhaps even geothermal power too - could be a double win on the climate front, and several groups are trying to make it happen
