The Long, Slow Death Of Carbon Capture & Sequestration (Hello, Carbon Recycling!)
Carbon capture and sequestration has flopped, but a new carbon “upcycling” system shows how carbon capture on a massive scale could become a thing.

The Key To Carbon Sequestration Could Be Right Under Our Feet
Industrial agriculture and genetic engineering of crops is degrading farmland and making it less able to absorb carbon dioxide. A lot of people aren’t going to like the answer that scientists recommend.
Geo-Engineering: Can We “Science Our Way” Out Of A Climate Catastrophe?
Many people think humanity will be able to “science its way out” of a climate catastrophe. Actually, the cure could be worse than the disease.
Climeworks Begins Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Extraction Tech Testing In Iceland
The Switzerland-based company Climeworks has now officially begun extracting carbon dioxide from the air in Iceland and sequestering it underground where it is expected to slowly turn to stone, as part of a pilot demonstration of the technology.
“Clean Coal” Is A Political Myth, Says Coal Company Owner
Robert Murray, head of the largest privately owned coal company in America, says “clean coal” is a myth. Murray is an adviser to Donald Trump. So why did Trump base much of his campaign on the clean coal lie?
Tree Planting Can’t Limit Anthropogenic Climate Change To Any Significant Degree Without Massive Ecological Destruction,…
Whenever there’s a discussion going on related to high carbon dioxide emissions and anthropogenic climate change, there’s usually someone who will mention the widespread planting of trees as a “solution.”
3 Reasons Even Trump Supporters Should Love Sustainability
There’s a lot of great news these days about innovations and projects that are moving our society forward toward a sustainable future. There’s also a lot of bad news out there about the damage we are doing. Sustainability shouldn’t be political, but let’s face it, it is. While one (I, for instance) might argue that we all should want a world free of biologically hazardous chemicals and human-produced climate-altering gases, one (I) can also understand that, to get there, some people’s economic interests will be, shall we say, not optimized. Change is never easy.
For Carbon Sequestration, ARPA-E Banks $35 Million On The Crops Of The Future
ARPA-E is banking that a $35 million investment in crop-based carbon sequestration will pay off with bonus points for healthier soil.
Moorella The Solar Powered Cyborg Turns CO2 Into Something Useful & Good
Solar energy is the key to a new cyborg system for converting carbon dioxide into useful products.
Nanoscale “Net” Lures Carbon From The Dark Side
Researchers at Berkeley Lab are developing an integrated carbon capture system that traps carbon dioxide and converts it to useful products.
