Carbon Removal

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR for short) refers to the process of taking existing CO2 out of the air and storing it for a long time in rocks, vegetation, the ocean, or specialized products.

Low-cost method transforms ordinary rocks into carbon dioxide storage

Stanford researchers have found a way to activate commonly found rocks so they capture CO2 out of the air at room temperature. The team believes it could be relatively inexpensive, and can easily scale to help sort our emissions problem worldwide.
