CO2 Capture Technology (Credit: Toshiba) Carbon Neutrality in Indonesia Takehiko Matsushita, Vice President of the Power Systems Division at Toshiba, said “I’m delighted to have signed this MOU with PLN Nusantara Power. It allows us to make full use of Toshiba's knowledge of CCS technology...
Carbon capture: How to trap a gasExtracting CO2 from power station exhausts is the costliest part of carbon capture and storage, so extensive research is under way to improve efficiencydoi:10.1016/S0262-4079(11)60702-1StuartHaszeldineandVivianScottNSTLThe New Scientist...
Engineers are building technologies to make carbon capture, storage and utilization solutions more widely available. For example, at Honeywell, we recently announced an agreement with The University of Texas at Austin that will enable the lower-cost capture of carbon dioxide emissions from power plants...
What if we could build a global waste disposal service for carbon? In this forward-thinking talk, carbon capture advisor Bas Sudmeijer proposes building CO2 networks: partnerships between cities around the world that would share the cost and geological...

Alex estimates that the world needsabout 50,000 carbon-capture plants by 2050, which would cost about $10 trillion. It is unquestionably a colossal investment, but with ample potential returns — beyond of course saving the planet. The captured carbon dioxide can be used to make fuel, plastics...
How can carbon capture and sequestration help lessen the impact of using coal? It can convert the carbon in coal into a safer-burning fuel that does not release air pollution. It can bury carbon generated when coal is burned and prevent its rele...
Point capture and direct air capture (DAC). 2/ Using less. Chapter 5: How We Make Things To make steel, you need to separate the oxygen from the iron and add a tiny bit of carbon. You can accomplish both at the same time by melting iron ore at very high temperatures (1,700 ...
“silver bullet”. CCS must be applied in conjunction with the wide-spread application of renewable power, a more in-depth approach to energy efficiency, the use of alternative non-carbon based fuels and many other pivots we need to make as a...
