Carbon capture is an important climate change mitigation strategy, but it faces technological barriers and can be ...

Ammonia has enormous potential as a fuel of the future, but most current production methods make it a dirty source of energy. Yet a new method from MIT that would derive the compound using the Earth's ...

Nitrogen-based synthetic fertilizer forms the backbone of the world food supply, but its manufacture requires a tremendous amount of energy. Now, computer modeling at Princeton University points to a ...

Conventional ethylene production via steam cracking generates massive carbon emissions—about one ton of CO₂ per ton of ethylene—creating a major climate burden. Researchers developed a highly ...

New electrolyzer has three innovations. It uses electricity to create ethylene from syngas, a waste gas produced from plastic. It uses a novel material to help catalyze the reaction. And it does so in ...
