Researchers in Switzerland are introducing a method to use solar energy instead of fossil fuels to generate the high temperatures required for smelting steel and producing cement.

Secrets beneath the soil: New model reveals microbial marvels in carbon storage

A new model using microbial genetic information highlights how soil microbes efficiently store carbon from plant roots, which is crucial for climate change mitigation and informing sustainable agricultural strategies worldwide.

Delaying action on decarbonisation makes innovation absolutely critical

Professor Mercedes Maroto-Valer, Director of the Industrial Decarbonisation Research & Innovation Centre (IDRIC) and the UK’s Champion for Industrial Decarbonisation, explains how innovation can help keep Britain on track for net zero.

Optimising land use to boost food production and carbon storage

A groundbreaking study by researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT) reveals the immense potential for producing more food while enhancing carbon storage.

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage technology

Ruth Herbert, Chief Executive of the Carbon Capture & Storage Association, lifts the lid on Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage technology.

Revolutionising CO2 capture: The microbial enzyme solution

By isolating a microbial enzyme and attaching it to an electrode, researchers have achieved efficient one-way conversion of CO2 into formate and, therefore, discovering a new form of CO2 capture.

UK scientists secure £1M to unlock carbon storage in volcanic rock

A group of prominent Scottish Earth scientists have secured a substantial £1 million grant from the UK Government to pioneer innovative techniques for quantifying carbon dioxide storage in volcanic rock.

UK government grants hundreds of new North Sea oil and gas licences

The UK has granted hundreds of North Sea oil and gas licenses to ‘reduce reliance on hostile states’ and enhance energy security, but critics note this move is not only bad for the environment, but also will not change British oil and gas for the better.

Ocean skin’s role in ocean carbon uptake revealed

A study has found that the ocean skin, a thin upper ocean layer, significantly impacts ocean carbon uptake, affecting the global ocean carbon sink.

New negative emission technology in direct ocean carbon capture

Despite the ocean undertaking some of the largest climate change impacts, it also plays a part of the solution to reversing it. Researchers look to membrane contactors in direct ocean carbon capture.
