carbon dioxide capture RSS

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and ETH Zurich have released a new study investigating to what extent direct capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the ambient air can help to effectively remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.  The findings were impressive with some estimates stating up to 97% of greenhouse gas emissions could be captured. The scientists investigated a total of five different configurations for capturing CO2 from the air at eight different locations around the world: Chile, Greece, Jordan, Mexico, Spain, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. These measures do not forego the need to reduce emissions but are rather an alternative to...
