Can The Sea Urchin Help Scientists Curb Global Warming?
2013-02-05 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A discovery that was stumbled upon by happenstance could help solve the problem of global warming. According to a new report in the academic journal Catalysis Science & Technology, two researchers at Newcastle University in the U.K. found a nickel catalyst can be used to rapidly and cheaply capture carbon emissions. "We had set out to understand in detail the carbonic acid reaction which is what happens when CO2 reacts with water and needed a catalyst to speed up the process," co-author...

Sea Urchins Offer a Clue To New Way to Capture Carbon Dioxide
2013-02-05 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: British researchers have discovered that sea urchins use nickel particles on their exoskeletons to effectively capture CO2 and turn it into a solid form, an intriguing finding that could offer an inexpensive way to capture and store carbon from fossil fuel-fired power plants. Scientists from Newcastle University were studying how marine organisms absorb CO2 to make shells and skeletons when they discovered that sea urchin larvae have a high concentration of nickel on their exoskeletons, which helps...

Could the humble sea urchin hold the key to carbon capture?
2013-02-05 14:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The discovery that sea urchins use nickel particles to harness carbon dioxide from the sea could be the key to capturing tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Experts at Newcastle University, UK, have discovered that in the presence of a nickel catalyst, CO2 can be converted rapidly and cheaply into the harmless, solid mineral, calcium carbonate. This discovery, which is published February 5 in the academic journal Catalysis Science & Technology, has the potential to revolutionize...
