Algae may be found in oceans and lakes, but some scientists are hoping that the next place you’ll see these organisms is a coal-fired power plant. That’s because algae, which mostly reside in aquatic ...

Carbelim, a climate-tech startup incubated at IIT Madras, is developing algae-powered systems that convert carbon emissions into oxygen and sustainable plant-based products - like biomass, Vegan Omega ...

New research 1 shows that a genetically modified algal strain can capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and turn the greenhouse gas into twice as much biofuel compared to the wildtype strain, while also having ...

23 July 2010 – Swedish utility Vattenfall has launched a pilot project using algae to absorb greenhouse gas emissions from a coal fired power plant in eastern Germany. The EUR2m ($2.6m) trial run, ...

Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed these forms into concrete to boost strength and capture carbon – creating a ...

Tiny diatoms in the ocean are masters at capturing carbon dioxide from the environment. They fix up to 20 percent of the Earth's CO2. A research team has now discovered a protein shell in these algae ...

In California, the Algae Biomass Organization announced a “We the People” petition to the White House aimed at securing US EPA approval of carbon capture and use technologies to meet the emissions ...

Microalgae‑based architecture could soon come to Western Australia. A team from Murdoch University is working on a project to integrate microalgae-filled photobioreactors into everyday structures like ...

High-starch algae are important in biofuel production, as a feed supplement in agriculture and as an efficient way to bind carbon dioxide. Researchers have now found a new method to control starch ...

The cap-and-trade program is run by the California Air Resources Board and covers about 80% of California's greenhouse gas ...
