Researchers decode aqueous amino acid's potential for direct air capture of CO2
Oak Ridge TN (SPX) Dec 05, 2023 Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have made a significant stride toward understanding a viable process for direct air capture, or DAC, of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This DAC process is in early development with the aim of achieving negative emissions, where the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the envelope of gases surrounding Earth exceeds the amount emitted. The recently published research focused on the foundational steps of carbon dioxide sequ ... read more |

MIT startup has big plans to pull carbon from the air
Boston MA (SPX) Nov 02, 2023 In order to avoid the worst effects of climate change, the United Nations has said we'll need to not only reduce emissions but also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One method for achieving carbon removal is direct air capture and storage. Such technologies are still in their infancy, but many efforts are underway to scale them up quickly in hopes of heading off the most catastrophic effects of climate change. The startup Noya, founded by Josh Santos '14, is working to accelerate direct- ... read more
