How cement plants can remove CO₂ from the atmosphere

New life-cycle analysis shows how calcium-looping DAC can reduce the climate impact of cement production by 78 percent

13-Aug-2026 - The production of cement ranks as one of the world’s largest industrial sources of CO₂. A new study now shows how cement production could in future be used to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere – based on a technology utilising lime. Cement is one of the most in-demand building materials of our ...

Turning food waste into carbon captors

Expected to be cheaper than other capture methods

12-Jun-2026 - The removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere is considered an important tool in the fight against climate change – but has so far been an energy-intensive and expensive process. Now, researchers have developed a new method that efficiently binds carbon dioxide and releases it again using only a small ...

Cost of direct air carbon capture to remain higher than hoped

Three technologies and their costs

05-Mar-2024 - The cost of removing large quantities of CO2 from the air will fall in the medium term, but not as much as previously hoped. This is the conclusion reached by ETH researchers on the basis of new calculations. Efforts to reduce carbon emissions should therefore continue at pace, says the research ...

How will we achieve carbon-neutral flight in future?

Carbon-​neutral aviation and the use of fossil fuels are not mutually exclusive

15-Jan-2021 - Carbon-​neutral aviation is possible, but in future, aircraft are likely to continue to be powered by fossil fuels. The CO2 they emit must be systematically stored underground. This is the most economical of various approaches that ETH researchers have compared in detail. It is politically agreed ...
