Algae may be found in oceans and lakes, but some scientists are hoping that the next place you’ll see these organisms is a coal-fired power plant. That’s because algae, which mostly reside in aquatic ...

23 July 2010 – Swedish utility Vattenfall has launched a pilot project using algae to absorb greenhouse gas emissions from a coal fired power plant in eastern Germany. The EUR2m ($2.6m) trial run, ...

The ocean works quietly every day to protect life on Earth. It absorbs heat from the atmosphere, stores massive amounts of carbon dioxide and produces much of the oxygen humans breathe.

Amid escalating concerns over carbon emissions, a potential game-changer emerges from an unexpected source: algae. Ground-breaking research has led to the creation of bioengineered algae that can ...

That latter bit is often referred to as carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) or, less broadly, carbon capture and ...

Brilliant Planet's test facility with algae ponds in Morocco, as seen from the air. Forests sequester vast amounts of carbon dioxide but grow very slowly. What if we could grow a mature forest in a ...

Tucked away in the most extreme nooks and crannies of the Earth are biodiverse galaxies of microorganisms — some that might help scour the atmosphere of the carbon dioxide mankind has pumped into it.

What if a single system installation in a park could clean air like dozens of trees while running entirely on sunlight and ...

Diesel is critical to Australia. Any supply disruption has immediate and widespread consequences, given Australia imports ...

Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed these forms into concrete to boost strength and capture carbon – creating a ...
