Does our breathing contribute to climate change? A human adult breathes out 1 Kg of CO2 a day, so that would be about 7 million tons of CO2 for the entire world population, and 2.6 billion tons per year (with adjustments made for babies and very old people). 2.6 billions...

Rock dust - an unlikely decarbonization hero Spreading rock dust on farmlands could capture two billion tons of CO2 per year, says a study. In principle, that should not be surprising. Rock materials, during the weathering process, capture CO2 and convert it into carbonates and sequesters it for a very...

Diamonds are forever That statement should gladden not just the woman's heart, but also those in carbon sequestration. Women's hearts & CO2 sequestration - what an odd, unthinkable combination! But there you have it. Here goes the story of CO2 and diamonds. Diamonds are pure carbon - 99.95% by weight....

 What if there were no CO2 in the atmosphere? Short answer: You will freeze. Long answer: You will freeeeeeeeeeeeeze. CO2 and other greenhouse gases send back some heat they capture from earth and maintain a temperature balance. Without CO2, the earth's temperature will be a LOT less than what it...

All about CO2 - the most talked about gas about which so we know so little! A comprehensive Q&A on CO2. Ten years back, I doubt the term decarbonization existed except in some exclusive recesses. Today, it is everywhere - if you have not heard of it, you are likely...

Using mineral carbonation as an effective avenue for CO2 to products Industrial carbon emissions can be captured and turned into useful materials on a vast scale - this is the central theme of Mineral Carbonation International. The Australian firm uses a process already used by nature - mineral carbonation that...

CO2 to ethylene Occidental & Cemvita Factory are joining hands to produce ethylene from CO2 using the microbial pathway, and the venture claims that the technology is competitive with ethylene produced from hydrocarbons. ( ) The idea I presume is to feed CO2 to these genetically modified critters and...

Plasma based CO2 conversion process, through low temperature plasma Plasma, the “fourth state of matter,” is an ionized gas comprising electrons, ions, radicals, excited atoms, and molecules. It presents a highly reactive environment, lending itself to different applications. In the context of CO2 conversion too, there is increasing interest in...

 CO2 to durable thermoplastics - neat My grandma would use a durable plastic container for a very long time - so long that all her plastic containers outlived her presence at home. And without ever having come across the term decarbonization (or carbon for that matter, bless her simple soul),...

Deadwood is life for others! A study by the Australian National University has found that the decaying of deadwood from forests could contribute up to 10 billion tons of CO2 emissions annually ( - ) That's a real lot of emissions, about 30% of total CO2 emissions, which is...
