Eco Factor: Geothermal fluid to be pumped using supercritical CO2. The US Department of Energy (DOE) is funding nine trials that use supercritical CO2 – a pressurized form that is part gas and part liquid, to extract more geothermal energy. The.

Eco Factor: Engineered photosynthetic process to produce fuel from CO2. Joule Technologies has announced a breakthrough in fuel generation from carbon dioxide present in the air. The technology is based on highly engineered photosynthetic microbes.

Eco Factor: Adding lime to oceans would reduce their acidity and enable them to soak up more CO2. While curbing emissions still remains the best possible way to stop global warming or at least reduce its impact, researchers all over the globe are..

Eco Factor: Synthetic trees to capture CO2 from the air and convert it into liquid CO2. Research scientists at the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at Columbia University have come up with an ingenious idea to capture atmospheric..

Eco Factor: Real-time CO2 counter encourages people to curtail emissions. Deutsche Bank, a name not directly related to environmental conservation, has lit a seven-story LED sign that counts the amount of greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere.

Eco Factor: Air purification system works on solar energy. Around the world, the air we breathe has always been a major concern to our health and our ecosystem. With the number of cars on the road increasing with every passing day, these problems..

Eco Factor: Latest carbon capture technique would allow scientists to slow down global warming. Research conducted by an international team of scientists, led by the University of Manchester, has shown that underground water has been able to...

Eco Factor: Carbon neutral process uses electricity to generate methane. A team of Penn State Engineers have developed a new technique that could possibly convert electricity into methane, using self-perpetuating microorganisms commonly found in...

Eco Factor: Forests in the sky to absorb harmful CO2 from the upper atmosphere. Reading the simple laws of physics will make you understand that hot air is lighter than cold air, and all the harmful CO2 released from factory chimneys doesn’t...

Eco Factor: Watch charged with kinetic energy lowers carbon footprint with a built-in CO2 scrubber. Industrial designer David Keith, along with his team of researchers, has designed a stylish watch that does more than just tell you the time. The...
