Extreme weather events have become more frequent and intense as greenhouse gases -- primarily carbon dioxide -- continue to surge, further warming the planet. Even if the world immediately stops ...

Capturing and storing the carbon dioxide humans produce is key to lowering atmospheric greenhouse gases and slowing global warming, but today’s carbon capture technologies work well only for ...

Emissions rose 1.3 per cent to 57.1 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2023. That is a far faster annual rate of growth than during the decade 2010-2019, when emissions grew on average 0.8 ...

A typical large tree can suck as much as 40 kilograms of carbon dioxide out of the air over the course of a year. Now scientists at UC Berkeley say they can do the same job with less than half a ...

As petrochemical plants and other emitters look to reduce emissions, they’re finding that sopping up and storing all the carbon dioxide they produce doesn’t come cheap. First they have to ...

The process uses ocean alkalinity enhancement — a way of accelerating the natural process that occurs when alkaline (or chemically basic) rock washes into the sea — to draw carbon dioxide out ...

The Kern County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve California Resources Corp.’s plan to capture up to 48 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and inject the gas one mile ...

Recording-breaking carbon emissions in 2023 could be a sign that nature's carbon removal systems are failing, a study awaiting peer-review warns. "Nature has so far balanced our abuse," Potsdam ...

Plants absorb carbon dioxide - it's one of the lessons everyone learns in science class at an early age, but what happens when that's no longer true? Human activity such as burning coal, oil, or ...

Some car manufacturers, such as Renault, are calling for the CO2 fleet targets that will apply from 2025 to be reduced or postponed. Depending on the forecast, up to 28 per cent of cars sold in the ...
