CO2 capture has to be addressed now
Capturing CO2 and sequestering it underground is an attractive longer term option for greenhouse gas reduction, but decisions regarding it cannot be postponed. Many of the decisions which power plants are making today will impact their CO2 capture costs. Therefore, capture has to be considered an urgent subject for analysis. These are the conclusions reached by McIlvaine in its just published, ...

Coal/Biomass combination with CO2 capture greener than renewables but not most eco-efficient
If a combination of coal and biomass provided the energy source for electricity and the CO2 from the combustion was captured, there would be more carbon extracted from the atmosphere than returned to it. The best global warming reducer would be a 100 percent biomass boiler with 90 percent CO2 capture, but there is not enough biomass to generate the electricity the world needs. However, a ...

Scientists discover new way to remove CO2 from the air
Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) believe they have struck upon a novel new way of removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. The technique is revolutionary in that it is capable of detecting and capturing the gas at almost any concentration level, including as low as approximately 400 parts per million. Additionally, their method does not require substantial ...
