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. […]

A study performed by Princeton engineer Robert Socolow reveals that as much as we'd want to, we simply can't remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by means of "Direct Air Capture" technologies.
