- 1ExxonMobil scientists privately doubted the climate fixes it promoted●ExxonMobil's own scientists doubted climate fixes the company hyped https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/10/exxonmob
A new report finds that ExxonMobil's own scientists had doubts about the climate solutions the company publicly promoted, adding to long-running scrutiny of the oil major's climate messaging. Critics say internal skepticism contrasted with optimistic public claims about technologies like carbon capture, renewing calls for accountability over how the company communicated climate science and policy.

The GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research and Ocean Networks Canada have started a project to map basalt formations on the seafloor. The work aims to produce reference data for carbon capture and storage, helping assess whether basalt layers can safely and permanently lock away CO2. It adds to growing scientific interest in offshore geological storage as a climate mitigation option.
- 3Fraser Institute warns Alberta carbon capture projects carry environmental risks▼ANALYSIS: Despite Alberta’s Commitment to “Decarbonizing”, Large-Scale Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Poses Observed Risks to the Environment - Fraser Institute
The Fraser Institute has published an analysis arguing that Alberta's push to decarbonize through large-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) carries observed environmental risks, despite the province's climate commitments. The report questions whether CCUS can deliver on its promises as Alberta positions the technology at the centre of its emissions strategy.
- 4African forest elephants credited with capturing carbon in DRC rainforest●Gentle giant pachyderms # African forest # elephants 🐘🐘 are the unsung heroes helping # climatechange . They capture # c
Conservation campaigners are highlighting African forest elephants as overlooked allies against climate change, saying the animals help capture and store carbon in the Democratic Republic of Congo's rainforest. The campaign urges shoppers to support elephant survival through their supermarket choices, tying the message to a wider boycott of products linked to deforestation, particularly palm oil.
- 5Blue pigment catalyst converts CO₂ directly into methane▼New potential for mitigating climate change: blue pigment catalyst turns CO₂ directly into methane i
Researchers have developed a blue pigment-based catalyst that converts carbon dioxide directly into methane, offering a new potential pathway for mitigating climate change. The approach could turn a major greenhouse gas into a usable fuel source, drawing attention as scientists search for practical carbon capture and utilisation technologies.
- 6New material promises boost for carbon capture technology●New material provides boost to carbon capture technologies
A newly developed material could make carbon capture technologies more efficient, according to a report by Tech Xplore. The advance may help industrial plants and direct-air capture systems remove carbon dioxide more cheaply and effectively. Details of the material's composition and performance have not yet been widely reported, but the finding adds to growing efforts to scale up carbon removal.
- 7Familia Torres bets on regenerative viticulture to fight climate change●Regenerative viticulture is the focus of Familia Torres' commitment to fight against climate change
Spanish wine producer Familia Torres has made regenerative viticulture the centrepiece of its strategy against climate change. The approach focuses on soil health and carbon capture in vineyards, reducing emissions while sustaining wine production. The announcement highlights how the wine industry is adapting to warming conditions and seeking ways to cut its environmental footprint.
- 8Ocean Visions Launches Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal Platform▼Ocean Visions Launches New Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal Knowledge Platform
Ocean Visions has launched a new knowledge platform dedicated to marine carbon dioxide removal, bringing together research and information on ocean-based approaches to removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The resource is aimed at scientists, policymakers and others tracking emerging mCDR techniques such as ocean alkalinity enhancement and seawater carbon capture.
