Scientists Create New Molecules That Can Absorb Carbon Faster Than Trees

EDINBURGH, Scotland - A new discovery could help to turn the tides in the war against greenhouse gases. Scientists at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have created new molecules which, thanks to their hollow and cage-like structure, can store greenhouse gases. The new material has been hailed ‘exciting’ and could remove carbon dioxide and other polluting gases from the atmosphere

Sandia Labs Uses Heated Carbon Dioxide To Deliver Electricity To Power Grid

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — For the first time, Sandia National Laboratories researchers delivered electricity produced by a new power-generating system to the Sandia-Kirtland Air Force Base electrical grid. The system uses heated supercritical carbon dioxide instead of steam to generate electricity and is based on a closed-loop Brayton cycle. The Brayton cycle is named after 19th century
