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 hard rocks all around us are sponges for carbon dioxide. When rain pounds earth that contains the right mix of minerals, carbon dioxide in the air dissolves into the water and reacts to form ...

Dozens of companies and academic groups are pitching the same theory: that sinking rocks, nutrients, crop waste or seaweed in ...

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 ...

However, this reaction can take hundreds to thousands of years to complete. Since the 1990s, scientists have been searching for ways to make rocks absorb carbon dioxide more rapidly through enhanced ...

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 ...

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 ...
