Dust Nourishes Phytoplankton, Boosting Ocean’s Ability to Store Carbon, Study Finds
Dust, tiny particles of everything from skin tissue to microplastics, lifted by the wind to settle on a table, the fur of an Arctic fox or the surface of the ocean. Dust is something seen by humans as an annoyance to be wiped away or a pollutant to avoid inhaling, but it also plays a nourishing role in global ocean ecosystems.
Scientists find a way to suck up carbon pollution, turn it into baking soda and store it in the oceans
Scientists have set out a way to suck planet-heating carbon pollution from the air, turn it into sodium bicarbonate and store it in oceans, according to a new paper.
Climate change: New idea for sucking up CO2 from air shows promise
A new way of sucking CO2 from the air and storing it in the sea has been outlined by scientists.
Shell’s massive carbon capture facility in Canada emits far more than it captures
The “Quest” plant in Alberta, Canada, owned by oil giant Shell, has previously been touted as a “thriving example” of how CCS is working to significantly reduce carbon emissions.
The world’s biggest carbon-removal plant just opened. In a year, it’ll negate just 3 seconds’ worth of global emissions.
The world’s biggest carbon-capture plant – which sucks carbon dioxide out of the air – just opened.
