Can Carbon Capture Keep Up with AI’s Energy Demand?

Electricity demand in the United States is rising faster than it has in decades. For years, power use remained steady due to efficiency improvements and shifts in industrial activity. However, recent changes have increased demand significantly.

While the government denies the science on carbon credits, the climate suffers

The government agency responsible for carbon credits continues to reject the science around human-induced regeneration and carbon storage.

Storing CO₂ underground in Switzerland

To achieve its net zero climate target by 2050, Switzerland must press forward with the energy transition—whether in electricity, heating or mobility. The permanent storage of CO2 is another important challenge.

Mixed-species forests outperform monocultures in carbon storage, even in extreme weather

An international study led by the University of Freiburg, published in Global Change Biology, has found that forests with many tree species can store significantly more carbon than those with only one species.

Hedges capture more carbon than grassland - University of Leeds study

Researchers found hedges stored on average 40 tonnes more carbon per hectare than grassland.

Untapped potential: Construction materials could store billions of tons of CO₂ annually

Construction materials such as concrete and plastic have the potential to lock away billions of tons of carbon dioxide, according to a new study by civil engineers and Earth systems scientists at the University of California, Davis and Stanford Unive…

Seaweed farms show potential for carbon storage that gets better with age

A large international team of researchers with a wide variety of backgrounds has found evidence that carbon storage below seaweed farms can accumulate as much carbon as some Blue Carbon habitats.

The technosphere: A hidden long-term carbon sink in everyday items

We know a lot about how much fossil-derived carbon is emitted to the atmosphere but less about how much is stored in human-made products.

Earthquakes and blowouts undermine case for carbon storage in Texas

Texas has seen surging interest from companies hoping to bury carbon dioxide in its oilfields.

Storing CO2 in rock: Carbon mineralization holds climate promise but needs scale-up

Rocks play a vital yet often unrecognized role in the carbon cycle. Through a natural process that has helped regulate Earth’s temperature for millennia, chemical reactions transform atmospheric carbon dioxide into solid carbonate minerals and lock i…
