Algae may be found in oceans and lakes, but some scientists are hoping that the next place you’ll see these organisms is a coal-fired power plant. That’s because algae, which mostly reside in aquatic ...

WASHINGTON (TND) — An alternative to trees developed by scientists in Serbia is currently trending on social media. Floated as a potential solution to filtering carbon dioxide and providing oxygen in ...

The company’s scientists didn’t agree with the way the project was presented to investors.

Brilliant Planet's test facility with algae ponds in Morocco, as seen from the air. Forests sequester vast amounts of carbon dioxide but grow very slowly. What if we could grow a mature forest in a ...

Tiny diatoms in the ocean are masters at capturing carbon dioxide from the environment. They fix up to 20 percent of the Earth's CO2. A research team has now discovered a protein shell in these algae ...

23 July 2010 – Swedish utility Vattenfall has launched a pilot project using algae to absorb greenhouse gas emissions from a coal fired power plant in eastern Germany. The EUR2m ($2.6m) trial run, ...

Since the start of the industrial revolution, humanity has increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) by 50 percent. The IPCC has made it clear that decarbonization on its own is not enough to prevent ...

Scientists have spent decades genetically modifying the bacterium Escherichia coli and other microbes to convert carbon dioxide into useful biological products. Most methods require additional carbon ...

The researchers found that it actually has a dual benefit. It not only produces clean energy but also absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making it a negative carbon emission technology. The ...

Algae grown in transparent tanks or tubes supplied with carbon dioxide can convert the greenhouse gas into other compounds, such as food supplements or fuels. But the process leads to a buildup of ...

Awareness of the global warming effects of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is relatively recent, but the greenhouse gas has been playing a critical role in warming our planet for billions of years, according to ...
