CO2 capture

Testing CO₂ transport on the laboratory roof

When scientists carry out experiments to investigate safe and efficient CO₂ transport on the roof of the thermal power engineering laboratories at Trondheim, Norway, the noise they make will sound like a jet engine.

Making it easier to capture CO₂ in the cement industry

Cement manufacture accounts for as much as seven per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. A new hybrid technology makes it easier and less expensive to capture and purify CO₂ produced by the industry. And the technology can be retrofitted to existing plants.

Geoengineering, other technologies won’t solve climate woes

The countries of the world still need to cut their carbon dioxide emissions to reach the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. Relying on tree planting and alternative technological solutions such as geoengineering will not make enough of a difference.

Capturing CO₂ using heat pumps

Capturing the greenhouse gas CO₂ from industrial processes such as cement manufacture is a demanding and therefore expensive exercise. However, by introducing a renewable powered heat pump in the capture system, the energy required to capture CO₂ is reduced by three quarters.

This ingenious approach not only binds CO₂, but also improves the soil

If 4,000 Norwegian farms and nurseries produced biochar and mixed it with the soil, we could halve CO₂ emissions from the agricultural sector. This entirely natural approach also produces more robust and healthy plants.
