Algae may be found in oceans and lakes, but some scientists are hoping that the next place you’ll see these organisms is a coal-fired power plant. That’s because algae, which mostly reside in aquatic ...

CO2 after being captured from the air by buildings, will go through microalgae-based carbon sequestration onsite. LAPPEENRANTA, FINLAND, March 12, 2025 /EINPresswire ...

New research 1 shows that a genetically modified algal strain can capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and turn the greenhouse gas into twice as much biofuel compared to the wildtype strain, while also having ...

23 July 2010 – Swedish utility Vattenfall has launched a pilot project using algae to absorb greenhouse gas emissions from a coal fired power plant in eastern Germany. The EUR2m ($2.6m) trial run, ...

Explore the realities of carbon capture: how it works, its strengths, limitations, and whether it can truly help tackle ...

Tiny diatoms in the ocean are masters at capturing carbon dioxide from the environment. They fix up to 20 percent of the Earth's CO2. A research team has now discovered a protein shell in these algae ...

In existing CCS projects, carbon is collected and compressed into a liquid, then pumped underground into geological formations like spent oil reservoirs. Proponents of CCS argue this creates a closed ...

High-starch algae are important in biofuel production, as a feed supplement in agriculture and as an efficient way to bind carbon dioxide. Researchers have now found a new method to control starch ...

A nanofiber air filter developed at the University of Chicago could turn existing building ventilation into carbon-capture devices while cutting homeowners’ energy costs. A life-cycle analysis shows ...

Mazda has a neat idea for what is basically a CO2 diaper that could be part of combustion-engine exhaust systems. Mazda has a creative idea for algae-based biofuel and an exhaust system that, ...

Phototropin responds to blue light and regulates starch storage by activating or deactivating PMSK1, a protein that controls starch synthesis. Blue light reduces starch accumulation, while red light ...

A nanofiber air filter developed by the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) could turn existing building ventilation into carbon-capture devices while cutting ...
