Energy from CO2: does a nanogenerator make pollution a resource?
A team from the University of Queensland has developed a revolutionary nanogenerator that absorbs CO2 to produce electricity, demonstrating how we can turn it from a problem into a resource.
Just 57 large entities produce 80% of all CO2 emissions
Reducing emissions from a few dozen companies is easier than convincing 8 billion people. But without cuts to fossil fuels and more renewables, objectives are at risk.
Equatic-1, Singapore turns the sea into a sponge for CO2 capture
Thanks to an innovative seawater electrolysis process, the new plant will dominate CO2 capture, while also producing hydrogen on a large scale
“Living” paint produces oxygen and transforms walls into green lungs
Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed a cyanobacteria-based paint that produces oxygen and absorbs CO2. An innovative solution to tackle the climate crisis.
US forests, surreal proposals: "fell trees to capture more CO2"
By 2070, US forests could release more carbon than they store. For some it is the fault of too many "elderly" trees
Saving the planet with baking soda? New technology to capture CO2
The new "bicarbonate" technology could be up to three times more efficient than current pollution capture technologies.
Here comes the insulating super biochar: it captures CO2 and is transformed into fertilizer
The Swiss institute Empa is working to transform vegetable carbon into a formidable sustainable insulator that is both friendly to the building industry and the environment.
Carbon farming: why soil is the key to pollution
Carbon farming is good for soil, crops and the environment – it's worth working on.
Remora, collect the CO2 from trucks directly from the exhaust pipes
A system to make heavy transport "cyclical". Truck, semitrailer, trailer truck, call it what you want: Remora wants to make it green. Will he succeed?
CO2 batteries will outperform fossil fuels and nuclear energy
At half the price of lithium-ion batteries, CO2 batteries are set to kick off a revolution in renewable energy.
Brilliant Planet, beat climate change by growing algae in the desert
Per unit area, the company says it captures as much carbon as a rainforest with these desert-grown algae.

Green steel: is it true glory? Methods are flourishing in the world to cut the emissions of the main heavy industry by pollution, but here is the state of the art.
Air Company, the first perfume in the world made of "photosynthesized" air and CO2
A perfume made from CO2: marketing or capture strategy, the project is interesting and the presale has just started.
Yes, the technology can capture CO2 from the air with 97% efficiency
Research is finally able to estimate with greater precision the impact that capturing CO2 from the atmosphere would have on the planet.
