A step forward for CO2 capture
The air we breathe has a carbon problem. But in Hellisheidi, Iceland, a geothermally active plateau just outside of Reykjavik, a new technology is taking a small but mighty step toward fixing it. A plant called Orca, built by Climeworks, is the first-ever facility where CO2 is being filtered directly from the air and stored […]
Analysis | Carbon Capture: The Vacuum the Climate May Depend On
The most recent report by the world’s top climate scientists was alarmingly clear: If we are to avoid the most calamitous consequences of warming our planet, we must get as good at taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere as we’ve been at putting it in. Even if solar panels and wind turbines sprout like mushrooms, reaching “net-zero” is going to require capturing large amounts of emissions from activities that are hard to decarbonize, like making cement. Holding temperatures down will also re
At COP26, connecting the climate and nature agendas
Protecting biodiversity and adopting nature-based solutions: Both play a critical role in addressing climate change and therefore cannot be ignored.
New partnership to deploy large-scale Direct Air Capture in Norway
Conceptual design work has begun on a Norwegian Direct Air Capture facility capable of capturing 500,000 to one million tonnes of CO2 a year.
