Architects have unveiled designs for skyscrapers that can remove carbon from the atmosphere. The 'Urban Sequoia' is the brainchild of the Chicago-based architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). The idea behind the concept is to make buildings act like a tree by capturing carbon and purifying the air. According to SOM, the tower could capture 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year, equivalent to 48,500 trees.

The Marine Carbon Cycle. NordVPN Cyber Month Deal! Go to https://nordvpn.com/naturalworldfacts to get a 2-year plan plus 1 additional month with a huge discount.

The marine carbon cycle consists of the biological pump, the carbonate pump and the physical pump. The biological processes of respiration, predation, death and decomposition, along with physical processes such as the thermohaline circulation, work together to remove carbon from the atmosphere and sequester it in the oceans. In this video we'll explore what makes the oceans a net carbon sink, and why the marine world is so important to the global carbon cycle.

We are facing one of the greatest challenges in the history of mankind -
climate change. Air pollutants like CO2 are destroying our planet, but help is at hand. Enter the tailor-made solution to targeting Carbon Dioxide: MOFs.

Metal-Organic Frameworks, or MOFs, are a new class of advanced materials that are creating incredible possibilities for removing carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. For example, MOFs have the highest CO2 adsorption capacity known to man. They can also be specifically engineered to target CO2, even in humid conditions and need only a fraction of the energy requirements of state-of-the-art amine solutions.

MOF Technologies are taking MOF-based carbon capture from concept to real-world demonstration. We are developing in-field pilot units to reduce carbon emissions from industries such as power generation, oil & gas, cement production, and steel manufacturing.

Our technology is providing efficient carbon capture solutions for a greener tomorrow, all thanks to the power of MOFs.

Are you ready to discover how MOFs can help you play your part?

Nitricity develops distributed, on-site systems, which produce nitrogen fertilizer from air, water and renewable electricity - allowing farms to efficiently fertilize themselves. The production and transportation of fertilizer generates 4-6% of total global greenhouse gas emissions - but we need fertilizer in order to feed billions of people. The farms that convert to Nitricity's systems can mitigate as much as 80% of the CO2eq emissions associated with nitrogen fertilizer.
