Scalable graphene membranes could supercharge carbon capture

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emissions is crucial in the fight against climate change. But current methods, like chemical absorption, are expensive and energy-intensive. Scientists have long eyed graphene—an atom-thin, ultra-strong material—as a promising alternative for gas separation, but making large-area, efficient graphene membranes has been a challenge.

A new procedure from Switzerland gives hope that CO2 will be filtered out of exhaust gases in a much simpler and more efficient way - with a hot graph and without expensive chemies or heat. (Continue reading)

Revolutionary Scalable Graphene Membranes: A Breakthrough in Carbon Capture

In the ongoing battle against climate change, capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitted from industrial sources has emerged as a critical solution. However, existing carbon capture techniques, such as chemical absorption, are often prohibitively expensive and require significant energy, making them impractical for widespread adoption. Researchers have long looked to graphene, a revolutionary material known for its extraordinary properties, as a pot…

UK Government Approves £200M Viking Carbon Capture Pipeline

UK Government Approves £200M Viking Carbon Capture Pipeline Daniel Onyango Thu, 04/10/2025 - 14:34 The UK government has approved the £200 million (about $250 million) Viking onshore pipeline development project, paving the way for the establishment of giant carbon capture facilities off Lincolnshire's coastline. The 55-kilometer (34-mile) underground pipeline will convey dense-phase carbon dioxide from the receipt point in Immingham to the The…
