All Carbon Capture

Technologies that capture carbon dioxide from industry or the air, including carbon capture and storage, direct air capture and chemical looping combustion. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes capturing carbon dioxide. These technologies stop carbon dioxide reaching the atmosphere by capturing it from a furnace or from ambient air, or by burning fuel in a way that keeps the carbon dioxide easy to separate. A technology is placed here by the capture method the cited article describes.
