By firing rock dust in standard cement kilns, they altered the mineral's chemistry so that it quickly react with carbon ...

I'm really rooting for the Stanford University researchers working on this carbon removal method. They've found a way to ...

Hydrogen from geological formations makes up about 10% of the flammable gases that form the Yanartaş flames near Cirali, ...

The heat transforms minerals, naturally occurring elements or compounds in the rocks, into materials that pull carbon from the atmosphere. It’s a process akin to weathering: the breakdown or ...

Rocks are one of nature’s tools for trapping carbon dioxide from air and permanently locking it away. The silicate minerals found in certain rocks react with carbon dioxide and convert it into solid ...

The interaction of ancient water on Mars with olivine-rich rocks converted carbon dioxide into methane, which could have been stored in smectite clays. The researchers estimated these clays could ...

especially in carbon-rich ecosystems such as grasslands. Other "natural" CDR solutions include the use of charcoal known as biochar, CO₂-consuming micro-organisms, crushed rocks rich in ...

Since the 1990s, scientists have been searching for ways to make rocks absorb carbon dioxide more rapidly through enhanced weathering techniques. Kanan and Stanford postdoctoral scholar Yuxuan ...

When mollusks and other carbon-rich organisms die ... these deposits can alter physically and chemically to become rocks and sediments themselves. Ocean ecosystems play a critical role in carbon ...
