Brilliant Planet’s massive algae farms could sequester carbon at gigaton scale – Inceptive Mind

A recent IPCC report suggested that tremendous amounts of carbon will need to be removed from the atmosphere to bring global carbon dioxide emissions to net-zero by 2050 and limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. The company is working on uniquely cost-effective, scalable, and verifiable carbon capture and storage system based on algae […]

Aether creates sustainable diamonds using carbon dioxide in the air – Inceptive Mind

Aether Diamonds, a startup that was founded in 2018 by Ryan Shearman and Daniel Wojno, pulls the greenhouse-gas carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to create sustainable lab-grown diamonds. Many brands that provide lab-grown diamonds still rely on fossil fuels for their production process. Over the next few weeks, the diamond crystals grow, and once […]

New technology to effectively remove 99% of carbon dioxide from air – Inceptive Mind

The team behind the new technology has been working for some time to improve hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells, an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional acid-based fuel cells used today. A few years back, the researchers realized this disadvantage might actually be a solution – for carbon dioxide removal. The results showed that […]

Novel artificial leaf captures 100 times more carbon than other systems – Inceptive Mind

This novel artificial leaf works in the real world, unlike other carbon capture systems that could only work with carbon dioxide from pressurized tanks. The previous design proposed in 2019 consisted of a standard artificial photosynthesis unit that was encased in a transparent capsule made of a semi-permeable membrane of quaternary ammonium resin and filled […]

Three more Saildrones launched to investigate carbon uptake in the ocean – Inceptive Mind

After sending a fleet of autonomous Saildrones into the path of Hurricane Sam to help improve forecast models, Saildrone has now launched three uncrewed surface vehicles on a mission to sail through the North Atlantic’s swiftest current: the Gulf Stream. They will be collecting data within the Gulf Stream through the winter months in hopes […]
