An innovative method using magnesium-rich silicates for CO2 removal shows promise for scalable carbon management and enhanced ...
Experts have found a way to make silicates rapidly absorb carbon, thanks to what they describe as a “new chemistry.” ...
A team at Stanford has developed a powerful yet low-energy way to trap atmospheric CO2 using heated minerals. By enhancing ...
“We envisioned a new chemistry to activate the inert [not chemically reactive] silicate minerals through a simple ion-exchange reaction,” Chen explained. Ions are atoms or groups of atoms with an ...
Stanford University chemists have developed a practical, low-cost way to permanently remove atmospheric carbon dioxide, the ...
Stanford chemists find a practical, low-cost way to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the air—the main driver of climate ...
Spreading crushed rocks on fields can absorb CO2 from the air – now chemists have devised a way to turbocharge this process ...
The technique is pretty straightforward and potentially very cheap, but will need to be scaled up significantly to make a ...
The world’s appetite for sand is surging –and it comes at a real cost to the environment. The alternative: a paradigm shift ...
Stanford researchers developed a scalable method to permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere using heat-activated minerals.
The principle of this method is based on a natural phenomenon: silicate weathering. These minerals, abundant on Earth, react slowly with water and CO2 to form stable carbonates. However, this reaction ...
