New research provides a framework for carbon capture driven by photochemistry, a potentially cheaper and less ...

Researchers have incorporated molecules of porphyrin CO2 catalysts into the sponge-like crystals of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to create a molecular system that not only absorbs carbon dioxide ...

Using carbon dioxide as a chemical feedstock instead of oil would reduce annual global greenhouse gas emissions by about 3.5 billion metric tons (t) in 2030. This estimate, based on a new model of the ...

In 1912, the Italian chemist Giacomo Luigi Ciamician published his theory that factories belching emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels one day would be replaced by smokeless processes that ...

Researchers outline a path to turn carbon dioxide into a valuable green fuel and chemical feedstock, offering a promising strategy for a circular ...

Carbon dioxide may have caused the climate crisis, but a new study argues it is also the ‘miracle molecule’ that made Earth ...

The award-winning science writer Peter Brannen makes the case for an often vilified compound in “The Story of CO2 Is the ...

Sometimes, carbon dioxide emissions aren’t the enemy. Florida-based startup Algenol Biofuels and Dow Chemical Co. are building a Freeport, Texas algae-based biorefinery pilot plant to turn CO2 into ...

Chemical engineers have devised an alternative approach to synthesizing epoxides, a type of chemical that is found in many products, including plastics, pharmaceuticals and textiles. Their approach ...

Dinosaurs may have vanished millions of years ago, but their teeth still carry a message from Earth’s distant past. A team of ...

A Chinese industrial gas company recently took a noteworthy step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions from chemical plants in China by capturing and reusing waste gas from the production of nylon.
