The latest short science news items from C&EN. The new devices run at ambient temperatures and pressures, making them smaller and cheaper than the reactors used to heat amines for CO 2 release.

Carbon capture is an important climate change mitigation strategy, but it faces technological barriers and can be ...

Amine solvents are the leading technologies for post-combustion capture, but innovation is ongoing The current scale of carbon capture technologies for post-combustion capture, pre-combustion capture, ...

Carbon capture may be the future, so technology development and testing are underway today. Unless something dramatic happens to alter the political landscape within the next few years, it seems all ...

While carbon capture has been around for many years, it has not been widely adopted because most systems are costly and inefficient. A common industrial approach, aqueous amine scrubbing, requires ...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) separation is central to technologies ranging from natural gas purification to hydrogen production and ...

Carbon-capture technology inspired by blood cells is being used in applications from human space travel to the creation of bioplastics. By mimicking how blood takes up and releases carbon dioxide, ...

HOUSTON & BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chevron New Energies (CNE), a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., announced a lead investment in ION Clean Energy (ION), a Boulder-based technology company ...

Carbon capture is a promising method to help slow climate change. With this approach, carbon dioxide (CO­­ 2) is trapped before it escapes into the atmosphere, but the process requires a large amount ...
