Mars has not always been a seemingly lifeless red desert. We have evidence that billions of years ago it had a warm, habitable climate with liquid water in lakes and flowing rivers, which is somewhat confusing, given that Mars is much farther from the Sun than the Earth and that the Sun was much less bright back then. “In order for Mars to be warm enough to host liquid water, there must have been a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,” says Benjamin Tutolo, a researcher at the University of

Unless you are an anaesthetist, you probably wouldn’t know what a carbon dioxide absorber is (red arrow below). However, for a brief period in the year 1970, carbon dioxide absorbers were what everyone was talking about. This is the story of Apollo 13 which blasted off in 1970 towards the Moon. However, things did not go according to plan and an explosion in the spacecraft left three astronauts stranded 200,000 miles from home. Suddenly this story became headline news. The whole world got to kn

Occidental has bought Holocene, marking the second direct air capture startup the fossil fuel company has bought in two years. The deal was executed through Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, a subsidiary of the oil and gas company, for an undisclosed amount. HeatMap first reported the news. Holocene had been racing to advance its amino acid-based carbon removal technology following a $10 million deal it signed in September with Google to deliver 100,000 metric tons of carbon removal by the early 2030s.

Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon are all locked in a race to see who can zero out their carbon pollution first. Apple reported on Wednesday that it is more than halfway there. Since 2015, the company has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by around 60%, the company said. That covers everything from manufacturing and marketing to corporate operations and customer use. Many companies have successfully eliminated the carbon footprint of their core operations. Cheap solar and wind, and increasingly

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR HONOR has launched the HONOR Power smartphone in China. The phone has an 8,000mAh silicon-carbon battery but maintains a relatively slim design. HONOR told us that it’ll share global availability details “in due course.” The first phones with silicon-carbon batteries arrived two years ago, and many Android OEMs have since embraced this tech. Now, HONOR has announced the HONOR Power, which offers a frankly ridiculous battery for a mainstream smartphone.

Earth’s meteorite collection just got called out for being a little biased—and what’s more, a team of astronomers pinpointed exactly why that bias occurs. Carbonaceous asteroids are all over our solar system, both in the main belt and closer to Earth. But very few of the carbon-rich rocks are actually found on Earth, comprising just 4% of the meteorites recovered on our planet’s surface. The astronomical team wanted to understand what causes the discrepancy. Their findings, published today in
