First ‘MechanicalTree’ installed on ASU’s Tempe campus

Nestled among the sun-lit trees on the east side of Arizona State University’s Tempe campus is a different kind of tree. It’s a first-of-its-kind mechanical tree, primed to become a major technology in the global fight against climate change. The tree features a metal column and 5-foot diameter disks, with each disk holding six “leaves.”

Hybrid Electro-biosystem Upcycles Carbon Dioxide into Energy-rich Long-chain Compounds

However, compared with facilely available C1/C2 products, efficient and sustainable synthesis of energy-rich long-chain compounds from CO2still remains a huge challenge. A joint research team led by Prof. XIA Chuan from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Prof. YU Tao from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of

MHIENG to License Carbon Capture Technology for Natural Gas Plant in Italy

Eni’s Project aims to capture 25,000 tons of CO2 per year from plant’s turbo compressor flue gas MHIENG will license “KM CDR Process™” carbon capture technology and provide process design package Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engineering, Ltd. (MHIENG), a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group company based in Yokohama, has agreed to license its carbon capture technology

Capturing Carbon With Inspiration From Battery Chemistry

The need for negative emissions technologies to address our climate crisis has become increasingly clear. At the rate that our planet is emitting carbon dioxide – adding about 50 gigatons every year – we will have to remove carbon dioxide at the gigaton scale by 2050 in order to achieve “net zero” emissions. The U.S.
