The thick, mineral-rich layers of clay found on Mars suggest that the Red Planet harbored potentially life-hosting environments for long stretches in the ancient past, a new study suggests.

The startup Gigablue announced with fanfare this year that it reached a historic milestone: selling 200,000 carbon credits to fund what it describes as a groundbreaking technology in the fight ...

A startup called Gigablue claims to have reached a milestone by selling 200,000 carbon credits for its ocean-based carbon ...

A 2021 study also found the carbon capture process emits significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that’s shorter-lived than carbon dioxide but traps over 80 times more heat. That ...

The same total amount of carbon dioxide has been trapped, but because glaciers take much longer to warm, melted glacial areas seem to release less carbon dioxide than warmer areas.

Especially compelling: the CO2 remains trapped in the rock, taking the place of the oil. Ironically, although carbon dioxide surrounds us, it’s hard to find it in concentrated form.

With this in mind, the researchers estimated that similar rocks across Mars could have trapped the equivalent of up to 36 millibars of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Access to pore space — or the tiny voids between underground rocks — is a key factor to boosting carbon capture and removal projects because geologic storage offers a home for trapped CO2.

I'm really rooting for the Stanford University researchers working on this carbon removal method. They've found a way to activate materials commonly found in rocks to capture carbon dioxide out of ...

Stanford researchers developed a scalable method to permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere using heat-activated minerals. Their kiln-based process transforms silicates into materials that ...
