Living Microalgae Lamp Absorbs CO2 from the Air
French biochemist Pierre Calleja has designed a fascinating eco-friendly lamp that could light up streets and parking garages while cutting CO2 emissions. It runs completely free of electricity, powered solely by a...
Pump CO2 Into Rocks Under The North Sea, Ministers Told
The huge undertaking would require planning not seen since the 2012 Olympics.
Parliamentary advisors have urged the government to invest in a vast network of pipes designed to store CO2 in rocks under...
Up to 340 Million Tons of CO2-equivalent per year Avoided Thanks to UNIDO Activities
Between 1990 and 2015, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) helped avoid the use and potential emission of 340 million tons of CO2-equivalent per year. This is equivalent of 71 million...
Molecular Signature Shows Plants Are Adapting to Iincreasing Atmospheric CO2
The research, published in the journal Global Change Biology, provides insight into the long-term impacts of rising CO2 and the implications for global food security and nature conservation.

Scientists Turn CO2 Into Fuel With Solar Power
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago believe that they've perfected the art of photosynthetic solar cells. It's a technology that mimics a plant's ability to inhale carbon dioxide and, with...
Efficiency, Clean Energy Put Dent in CO2 Emissions
Americans are using less electricity as buildings become more energy-efficient and industrial power demand weakens, and a new report says that is leading to three trends: Declining carbon dioxide emissions, low electric...
ABB Wins 1st Commercial Order for Breakthrough 15-Second Flash Charging Technology to Enable CO2-Free Public Transport in Geneva
ABB has been awarded orders totaling more than $16 million by Transports Publics Genevois (TPG), Geneva’s public transport operator, and Swiss bus manufacturer HESS, to provide flash charging and on-board electric vehicle...
Researchers Assess Power Plants that Convert all of their CO2 Emissions into Carbon Nanotubes
Last year, researchers at George Washington University proposed a method for transforming CO2 emissions into carbon nanotubes (CNTs). When applied to power plants, the technology could completely eliminate the power plants' CO2...
Antarctic CO2 Hits 400ppm for the First Time in 4m Years
We’re officially living in a new world.
