But there’s a critical assumption that the world’s forests will stay healthy, undisturbed, and productive. Is that too optimistic an outlook? That’s one of the … Read more
In a groundbreaking study, a research team from the USA has expanded the potential of carbon capture by showing that multiple abundant materials can effectively pull CO₂ straight from the air. The researchers from Illinois’ Northwestern University introduced new, low-cost materials to facilitate moisture-swing direct air capture (DAC), which traps and releases carbon dioxide depending … Read more
