Atmospheric Carbon CapturE SystemS - CO2 collected in sponges

The ACCESS, as you can see in the title, was developed by Global Research Technologies in Tucson, Arizona. They made a sponge-based system that filters out CO2 from the air and releases clean oxygen.

Animated CO2 Map of the United States

Some researchers from the Purdue University have made up a project revealing the CO2 emissions over the United States. They made a video showing the “hottest” areas in which CO2 is produced by several sources: power plants, factories, vehicle traffic. Kevin Gurney, the leader in the project, told The New York Times: “The resulting database [...]

Is Nitrogen a Climate Savior?

National Science Foundation proved after a long study that nitrogen added to soil can make forests absorb more dioxide carbon. But even if nitrogen is one of the most abundant element in the atmosphere, it’s still a pollutant and can have a dramatic influence on the planet’s environment.

Breakthrough Carbon Capture Using Ionic Liquids

ION Engineering, a boulder base clean tech firm, has developed the most economical way to remove CO2 emissions and other contaminants from fossil fuel power plant emissions and raw natural gas. Founded by scientists from the University of Colorado, ION Engineering has brought in sight a new technology that uses ionic liquids - nonvolatile molten [...]

New Carbon Collecting Car - Really That Green?

Georgia Institute of Technology has created a concept of a car in a pretty new polluting fashion: it uses petrol as a fuel, but it separates hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The hydrogen is used in a fuel cell, and the CO2 is collected and recycled.

Generating Biofuel With Bioreactor Made of Recycled Bottles

Why waste your money on fossil fuel when you can make your own biofuel reactor? Michael Fisher has developed a bioreactor which uses algae to produce oil. What is very interesting about his invention is the bioreactor itself, which is made out of recycled bottles.
In a previous post on Green Optimistic we already debated the [...]
