A powder extracted from plants could prevent carbon dioxide (CO2) from reaching the atmosphere. CO2 is humanity’s primary greenhouse gas emission, and it’s wreaking havoc on our planet. While we’ll ...

The fight against climate change may have found a new secret weapon in the form of a carbon-capturing powder that is capable of sucking up and storing as much carbon dioxide as a fully-grown tree.

As CO2 emissions continue to rise and the world continues to warm, we're seeing more possibilities emerge around the idea of capturing carbon before it makes its way into the atmosphere. A promising ...

The powder has several advantages over other materials, according to its creators. Its porous design increases its surface area, which means more places to hold onto carbon dioxide molecules. As a ...

A British startup has devised a way to speed-up enhanced rock weathering using protein powder in a potential step forward for the budding carbon capture industry. Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) ...

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 the University of California, Berkeley say they can do the same job ...

In a study published in the journal Water Research, researchers from The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have shown that it is possible to use powdered activated carbon in order to ...

Carbon material characterization is essential across multiple industries, especially for ensuring the quality of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). This article examines the context and limitations of ...

Carbon spheres that make up the powder have many, many pores and the vast majority of them are less than one-millionth of a metre in diameter. "The porosity of this material is extremely high," said ...
