Mantra Venture Group of Seattle is developing technology that will turn CO2 into formic acid, which is naturally produced by stinging ants who use it as a defense mechanism.

Formic acid could be used to power fuel cells.

Economist Jeffrey Sachs said carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology and nuclear energy will be necessary to avoid catastrophic climate change, comments made as part of a presentation at the Asia Society in New York Monday night.

“Carbon capture better work, because they [China] are not going to stop using coal,” said Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and the author of The End of Poverty and Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet, among other books

The North Sea’s potential for carbon capture storage (CCS) is the subject of a new bi-lateral study by the UK and Norway, as part of the ongoing drive to provide a route to the deployment of the technology in Europe. Meeting at the recent Climate Change and Technology conference in Bergen, ministers agreed to commission the investigation as well as raise the profile of CCS as a green technology worldwide.
