Biden Administration Launches $3.5 Billion Program to Capture Carbon Pollution from the Air


The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released a Notice of Intent (NOI) to fund the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s $3.5 billion program to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution directly from the air. The Regional Direct Air Capture Hubs program will support four large-scale, regional direct air capture hubs that each comprise a network

Low-cost battery-like device absorbs CO2 emissions while it charges


Researchers have developed a low-cost device that can selectively capture carbon dioxide gas while it charges. Then, when it discharges, the CO2 can be released in a controlled way and collected to be reused or disposed of responsibly. The supercapacitor device, which is similar to a rechargeable battery, is the size of a two-pence coin,

Preiswertes, batterie-ähnliches Gerät absorbiert beim Aufladen CO2


An der Universität Cambridge hat ein Forscherteam unter Trevor Binford einen Superkondensator gebaut, der beim Aufladen CO2 aus der Luft absorbiert. Das Gerät geht selektiv vor, andere Luftgase wie Sauerstoff und Stickstoff bleiben draußen. Bei der Entladung lässt sich das CO2 kontrolliert auffangen, um es wiederzuverwenden oder zu entsorgen. Zur Produktion kamen hauptsächlich nachhaltige Materialien

Fehlende Erkenntnisse zur Langzeitstabilität erschweren eine industrielle Anwendung der Elektrolyse


Das Treibhausgas Kohlendioxid nutzen, um daraus Ausgangsstoffe für die chemische Industrie herzustellen: Die elektrochemische CO2-Reduktion macht’s möglich. Wie erfolgreich dieser Prozess ist, hängt allerdings von einer Vielzahl von Faktoren ab – vom Katalysator über das Elektrodendesign bis zum Reaktor-Konzept. Wie weit die Forschung in diesen Bereichen ist und was eine Übertragung bisheriger Ergebnisse auf industrielle

Converting CO2 through electrochemistry – The WaterProof Project


In view of the increasing scarcity of fossil carbon feedstock and a parallel increase in carbon demand, science and industry are faced with the challenge of urgently closing any possible carbon loop. This also includes the conversion of CO2 emissions from waste(water) processing. Many of the products we use in our everyday lives, like cleaning
