Our planet has a carbon problem -- if we don't start removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, we'll grow hotter, faster. Chemical engineer Jennifer Wilcox previews some amazing technology to scrub carbon from the air, using ...

U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm announced today the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) new goal to remove gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and durably store it for less than $100/ton of net CO2-equivalent. The “Carbon Negative Shot,” ...
The alkaline environment of hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells (HEMFCs) potentially allows use of cost-effective catalysts and bipolar plates in devices. However, HEMFC performance is adversely affected by CO2 present in the ambient air feed. Here, w
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, chemical engineers have developed a new system that could offer a means to constantly eliminate carbon dioxide from a flow of waste gases, or even from the atmosphere. On the right is a porous anodized aluminum oxide membrane. The left side shows th...
Now another thing to remember is that carbon is always being removed from the atmosphere:It gets used up.Largely it's consumed by plant life, through photosynthesis.Also, it dissolves in the oceans. Or gets stored deep in the ocean—you have shellfish that use the CO2 dissolved in the wat...

Scientists are discussing ways to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by increasing the amount that is absorbed by plant life. One plan to accomplish this is to establish giant floating seaweed farms in the oceans. When the seawe
