The UN’s panel on climate change said that technologies to remove CO2 will be necessary to limit global temperature rise to only 1.5 degrees Celsius. But these techniques are largely unproven.

Technology exists to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere but it has a big cost.
It may be just as well the UK government scrapped its previous carbon capture competition.
The right kind of algae can be converted to biofuel, and there are potential side benefits for carbon capture.
New research calculates the huge cost of ‘negative emissions’ technologies that will be required to avoid dangerous climate change.
Nobody in business wants to touch new “clean” coal plants, which means taxpayers would be left to foot the billion-dollar bills.
Carbon capture is fundamentally flawed. Here’s plan B.
The Norwegian capital shows other cities how it’s done, by setting out a tailor-made plan to reduce emissions to zero by 2030.
Despite advances in technology, carbon capture and storage could be unsettled by renewable upstarts.
Working out how Mars’s carbon dioxide was turned into rock could help with carbon capture efforts on our own planet.
A new method for creating a form of graphene with carbon dioxide sucked from the air has been announced with misleading claims.
New research shows that we’ll have to remove carbon from the atmosphere for any chance of keeping warming below 2C.
What to make of the announcement that we’ll be off the hydrocarbons in time for the 22nd century? Dream on.
Countries will take emissions reduction pledges to international climate talks in Paris at the end of this year. Those pledges should also include funds for low-carbon R&D.
In a recent article on The Conversation, Queensland coal seam gas (CSG) researchers argued that the industry is progressing faster than the science, leading to concerns over fugitive emissions and impacts…
The controversy ignited by the Australian National University in October, when it decided to sell its shares in seven resources companies, has raised two important questions about divestment from assets…
To have any chance of avoiding dangerous climate change we’ll have to reduce the carbon emissions from our energy sectors — currently the largest human source of greenhouse gas emissions globally. And…
A sponge like polymer for adsorbing carbon dioxide in power plant flue gas has been developed. Previous substances for carbon…
Budgets are often framed as give and take. But in the case of the environment, the government is taking large amounts of money in cuts, while giving little back beyond funding the Direct Action climate…
Despite the evidence that shows greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels are leading to changes in the planet’s climate, the development of large scale technologies to slow or stop these effects has…
