Japan creates world’s fastest system to remove carbon dioxide from air
Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers have developed a new way to capture carbon emissions. The technology, using isophorone diamine (IPDA) in a “liquid-solid phase separation” system, can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere with 99% efficiency.
May 23, 2022Ocean-going tankers to trial ‘plug and play’ CO2 capture technology
Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping has teamed up with Dutch maritime technology company Value Maritime to install carbon capture technology on two MR tankers, making them the largest ocean-going vessels equipped with the technology.
May 20, 2022Coconut shell-based supercapacitor can capture carbon during charging
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a low-cost gadget which is capable of capturing carbon dioxide gas while charging. When it discharges, the carbon dioxide can be released in a controlled way and be collected to be reused.
May 18, 2022Steel industry emissions to fall 30% by 2050: Woodmac
As more mills switch to less-polluting electric arc furnaces (EAF), carbon dioxide emissions from the world’s steel sector are expected to drop 30% by 2050 compared to last year, according to a study released on Tuesday by consultancy Wood Mackenzie.
