Chemists at Stanford University transformed minerals in rocks to absorb carbon dioxide out of the air. Matthew Kanan, senior author of a new study, explained that while the Earth has an endless supply ...

A recent study that was led by the University of Oxford overturned the view that natural rock weathering removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It revealed that this process could be a ...

I'm really rooting for the Stanford University researchers working on this carbon removal method. They've found a way to activate materials commonly found in rocks to capture carbon dioxide out of ...

The heat transforms minerals, naturally occurring elements or compounds in the rocks, into materials that pull carbon from the atmosphere. It’s a process akin to weathering: the breakdown or ...

Since the 1990s, scientists have been searching for ways to make rocks absorb carbon dioxide more rapidly through enhanced weathering techniques. Kanan and Stanford postdoctoral scholar Yuxuan ...

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

and necessitates carbon storage solutions. Now, researchers at Stanford University have proposed a surprisingly practical strategy: make rocks do it for us. They’re not kidding. Stanford ...

Whitepaper connects the surging demand for carbon removal credits with unique advantages of mine waste mineralization.

A new process could enable crushed rocks to capture carbon dioxide from the air much more quickly, turbocharging a carbon removal technique that is already being widely adopted. Natural silicate ...

Al-Monitor is an award-winning media outlet covering the Middle East, valued for its independence, diversity and analysis. It is read widely by US, international and Middle East decision makers at the ...
