Delaware team builds battery-based device to capture CO2 more efficiently

Researchers led by James Buchen at the University of Delaware have developed an electrochemical carbon-capture device that uses a battery-like setup instead of conventional filters. Hydroxide generated at the cathode reacts with CO2 to form carbonate, which crosses a membrane to the anode where a lower pH reverses the reaction, releasing pure CO2 gas.

UN report admits world will breach 1.5°C limit, outlines return path

A new United Nations Environment Programme report concludes that Earth will soon surpass the 1.5 Celsius warming threshold set by the 2015 Paris agreement, largely due to continued fossil fuel emissions. Rather than treating this as unavoidable defeat, UN officials and scientists propose a strategy to temporarily exceed the limit before working to bring temperatures back down through ending fossil fuel use and deploying carbon removal technology.
