These two young minds knew that CO₂ was harmful to the atmosphere and in turn the world needed to find a way to remove it from the air, or as much as they could. ETH Zurich and Swiss Federal Laboratories provided collaboration for the filtration process. […]

We have been discussing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies for quite some time now, and it has been especially so since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate […]

The pilot scale carbon-capture plant involves the utilization of naturally occurring limestone […]
