The Southern Ocean, also called the Antarctic Ocean, is responsible for absorbing carbon dioxide produced by human activities and regulating Earth’s entire climate. While this absorption can function ...

Considered natural allies against climate change due to their absorption of carbon dioxide, plants may however offer more limited help than expected. The cause: an essential ...

Microplastics could be disrupting how oceans absorb and store carbon, potentially undermining a natural buffer that helps ...

Young tropical forests play a crucial role in slowing climate change. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air, using ...

Magnesium oxide is a promising material for capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and injecting it deep underground to limit the effects of climate change. But making the method ...

Microplastics are damaging oceans' ability to absorb CO2, disrupting the natural process of 'biological carbon pumping.' This ...

For decades, climate policy has leaned on a comforting assumption: that as humans emit more carbon dioxide, plants will ...

Of all the planet-warming greenhouse gases human activity releases into the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is the most significant emission. As such, experts have suggested that, in addition to ...

Membrane contactors have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional carbon capture systems by marrying the high selectivity of liquid absorption with the compact modularity of membrane ...

Researchers in Finland have found a new way to capture carbon dioxide from ambient air that they say is more efficient than ...
