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 ...

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 ...

Brilliant Planet's test facility with algae ponds in Morocco, as seen from the air. Forests sequester vast amounts of carbon dioxide but grow very slowly. What if we could grow a mature forest in a ...

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, ...

Bluestone Brewery, a local business run by Swansea University alumni, partnered with Swansea University researchers to take on this challenge through a Welsh Government-funded project. The goal?

Algae grown in transparent tanks or tubes supplied with carbon dioxide can convert the greenhouse gas into other compounds, such as food supplements or fuels. But the process leads to a buildup of ...

Awareness of the global warming effects of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is relatively recent, but the greenhouse gas has been playing a critical role in warming our planet for billions of years, according to ...

Scientists at The University of Manchester have achieved a significant breakthrough in using cyanobacteria—commonly known as "blue-green algae"—to convert carbon dioxide (CO 2) into valuable bio-based ...

The researchers found that it actually has a dual benefit. It not only produces clean energy but also absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making it a negative carbon emission technology. The ...

A flue gas port at the Integrated Test Center allows flue gas to be diverted from Basin Electric’s Dry Fork Power plant into the test bay for carbon capture technology experimentation. (UW Photo) ...
