Chemists at the University of Copenhagen have developed a method to transform PET plastic waste into a powerful new material for CO₂ capture. The material, called BAETA, can absorb carbon emissions efficiently and be regenerated for reuse, offering a scalable, low-energy alternative to existing capture technologies.
A University of Houston team led by Professor Mim Rahimi has developed a membraneless electrochemical amine regeneration process that achieves over 90% CO₂ removal at roughly $70 per ton, significantly reducing both costs and energy use.
An industry consortium comprised of leading steelmaker sare undertaking a pre-feasibility study to assess the development of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) hubs across Asia. The CCUS Hub study is the first independent industry-led study of its kind in Asia and will examine the technical and commercial pathways to utilising CCUS in hard-to-abate industries across Asia.
Rice University researchers have developed an electrochemical reactor that has the potential to drastically reduce energy consumption for direct air capture (DAC), the removal of carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.
Utah State University’s Bingham Research Center has received a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy for a $480,000 project. The grant is part of a larger project called the Uinta-Piceance Basin Carbon Management and Community Engagement Partnership, which is led by the University of Utah.
