Today, airplanes pump a lot of climate-warming carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But someday, carbon dioxide sucked from the atmosphere could be used to power airplanes. Past attempts to convert ...

A new chemical process uses an iron-based catalyst to turn carbon dioxide into jet fuel. So far the process has only been proven effective in lab settings, but if researchers can scale it up it could ...

image: Iron minerals and bacteria can be the main agents of carbon dioxide emissions from the soil. A soil scientist from RUDN University made this conclusion after studying the process of organic ...

After a hiatus of more than 10 years, a new round of research into ocean iron fertilization is set to begin, with scientists saying the controversial geoengineering approach has the potential to ...

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

Marine chemist Ken Buesseler works on a "clap-trap" mooring during the Vertical Transport In the Global Ocean (VERTIGO) project in 2004. As its name implies, this study looks at how ...

Scientists use iron-based catalyst to overcome barriers in chemical process, bringing tech closer to industrial reality Chinese scientists are moving technology that converts greenhouse gases into ...
