NIST Develops New Testing System for Carbon Capture
In a new carbon capture testing apparatus, synthetic air flows through a column. The sorbent traps and captures the carbon molecules. The device measures how fast the sorbent becomes saturated with CO₂. // SOURCE: N. Hanacek/NIST

Researchers in Singapore have developed a process that converts shrimp shells and other organic waste into carbon-negative hydrogen, protein for aquaculture feed and calcium carbonate for construction materials, with commercialization efforts now underway.
MIT researchers have identified a new electrochemical approach to carbon capture using N-heterocyclic imine-based sorbents. The technology could reduce the energy demands of carbon capture systems while improving scalability and flexibility, offering a potential pathway toward more efficient carbon dioxide removal and utilization.
A new Carbon Direct report found that lengthy power grid interconnection delays in PJM and ERCOT could slow data center growth as electricity demand surges. The analysis showed most queued energy projects may never become operational, while approval timelines far exceed federal targets.
Aarhus University researchers have developed a method to convert discarded nitrile rubber gloves into a reusable material that captures carbon dioxide from flue gas, offering a potential solution for both waste management and industrial emissions.
A new Nature Sustainability study from UConn researcher Mojtaba Fakhraee argues that restoring blue carbon ecosystems alongside coral reefs can improve carbon sequestration, boost reef recovery and strengthen coastal resilience. The study proposes a framework for pairing the ecosystems and suggests carbon‑credit funding could help scale restoration projects amid declining federal support.
