As the aviation industry seeks to shrink its environmental footprint, a new development from Oxford University may just help airline companies reach their carbon-reduction goals. The new technology involves an experimental process that can turn carbon dioxide into jet fuel. If … [Read more...] about New technique turns carbon dioxide into jet fuel

Scientists discover way to convert captured carbon into a useful commodity
Capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide may be an efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change, but there’s something unsatisfying about this process. The gas is simply captured, compressed, and then buried deep underground. Unsatisfied with this … [Read more...] about Scientists discover way to convert captured carbon into a useful commodity
How spreading rock dust on farmland could remove massive amounts of CO2
Researchers are clear that cutting the fossil fuel burning that releases carbon dioxide is the most important action needed to tackle the climate emergency. But climate scientists also agree that, in addition, massive amounts of CO2 need to be removed from the air to meet the … [Read more...] about How spreading rock dust on farmland could remove massive amounts of CO2
Scientists are turning carbon dioxide into a liquid that powers fuel-cells
While it’s good that we’re finding ways to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, it’s even better that we’re finding ways to turn all that CO2 into something good for the planet. Recently, scientists at Rice University have devised an environmentally friendly way to take … [Read more...] about Scientists are turning carbon dioxide into a liquid that powers fuel-cells
These artificial leaves pull carbon dioxide out of thin air to create fuel
Researchers have designed artificial leaves that suck carbon dioxide out of the air and create oxygen. Well isn’t that what leaves already do, you might be asking? Yes, but where these artificial leaves differ is that they can trap carbon dioxide and turn it into carbon monoxide, … [Read more...] about These artificial leaves pull carbon dioxide out of thin air to create fuel
