Sea urchin nickel 'trick' could be key to capturing carbon
BBC News
Researchers say that the natural ability of sea urchins to absorb CO2 could be a model for an effective carbon capture and storage system. Newcastle University scientists discovered by chance that urchins use the metal nickel to turn carbon dioxide ...

Fracking could be combined with carbon capture plans New Scientist
| New Scientist - |
Talk about a win-win situation. Compressed carbon dioxide may be more suitable than water for fracturing methane-rich rock - a finding that could help the growing hydraulic fracturing industry extract more natural gas from spent fields.
Let It Snow, Let It Snow ... CO2
Carbon sequestration schemes are not new. Utilities have been looking at burying excess CO2 beneath the ground or in deep wells or algae ponds for years, but efforts have not paid off because of the high associated costs.
