Researchers have discovered how to transform carbon dioxide into sustainable building materials. This innovation could reduce ...

Sequestration peaked in 2008 and is now declining yearly. This weakens nature’s climate defense as human CO2 emissions keep ...

Scientists estimate around 30 percent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) released by humans is absorbed by the oceans, playing a crucial role in climate regulation and reducing the rate of global warming.

Dozens of companies and academic groups are pitching the same theory: that sinking rocks, nutrients, crop waste or seaweed in ...

Planetary is part of a growing industry aiming to come up with a solution to global warming using the absorbent power of the ...

Most of the ocean startups are selling carbon credits — or tokens representing one metric ton of carbon dioxide removed from ...

In the past, intact forests absorbed 7.8 billion tons of CO2 annually -- about a fifth of all human emissions -- but their carbon storage is increasingly at risk from climate change and human ...

About one-third of CO2 released by human activities is stored in land-based carbon sinks such as forests which, along with oceans, help slow global warming by absorbing excess heat-trapping emissions.

Commercial activities that damage sea floors are disrupting the oceans' natural carbon capture capacity, with more research ...

Other companies are focused on growing seaweed and algae. These marine organisms act like plants on land, absorbing carbon dioxide from the ocean just as trees do from the air. Still others view ...
