As its name implies, the centre is seeking ways to add value to carbon dioxide by developing technologies that convert the gas into valuable substances. After all, that’s how plants deal with ...

As greenhouse gas concentrations in the air continue to climb, plants are faced with a veritable feast of carbon dioxide, which they use alongside water and sunlight to photosynthesize. While years of ...

Nature's carbon-capturing machines are working overtime. Plants worldwide are absorbing about 31% more carbon dioxide than scientists previously estimated, according to research published in Nature.

A new gas-fired power plant in Nottinghamshire plans to turn planet-warming carbon dioxide into an ingredient for fizzy drinks. The 10-megawatt project at Rhodesia outside Worksop uses waste heat ...

while plants take in that gas along with sunshine to produce energy, a process called photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide also dissolves in seawater, where it is absorbed by seagrasses and algae.

Jan. 6, 2025 — Scientists have long sought ways to help plants turn more carbon dioxide (CO2) into biomass, which could boost crop yields and even combat climate change. Recent research suggests ...

All samples gave off similar levels of carbon dioxide from corn-plant residue, even though corn was grown more frequently in the standard two-year rotation. That shows the amped-up decomposition ...

Trees and plants are oxygen generating factories that cleanse air, absorb carbon dioxide and supply oxygen for animals and humans to breathe. Deforestation and urbanization have left us with ...

Switzerland-based Climeworks, which has built the world’s largest carbon capture plant, is in discussions ... Climeworks builds machines to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store ...
