Despite decades of warnings and increasing efforts to fight climate change, global carbon emissions are still rising. While cutting emissions from the source is a common way we address this problem, another crucial strategy is actively removing carbon from the atmosphere. Current centralized DAC (direct-air-capture) plants are expensive and take up a lot of land, so scientists have developed a carbon dioxide-catching air filter that can fit into existing ventilation systems of homes and offices around the world.
New air filter could turn every building into a carbon sink
