A new take on carbon capture
Boston MA (SPX) Nov 26, 2025 If there was one thing Cameron Halliday SM '19, MBA '22, PhD '22 was exceptional at during the early days of his PhD at MIT, it was producing the same graph over and over again. Unfortunately for Halliday, the graph measured various materials' ability to absorb CO2 at high temperatures over time - and it always pointed down and to the right. That meant the materials lost their ability to capture the molecules responsible for warming our climate. At least Halliday wasn't alone: For many years, rese ... read more |

Tanzania Maasai fear VW 'greenwashing' carbon credit scheme
Nairobi (AFP) Nov 10, 2025 Namnyak, a Maasai herder in north Tanzania, fears a carbon credit scheme linked to Volkswagen - dismissed by NGOs as "greenwashing" - could destroy her community's way of life. Under the scheme, local Maasai are being offered money to keep their cattle on a strict "rotational grazing" scheme so that the grass grows longer and captures more carbon. The idea is that Volkswagen, and possibly other companies, will pay for this through "carbon credits" which are supposed to offset carbon emissions ... read more
