Increased CO2 storage capacity using CO2-foam
International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 2020 Abstract Reduction of the CO2 mobility is beneficial during subsurface sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 in saline aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs by mitigating flow instabilities leading to early gas breakthrough and poor sweep efficiency. Injection of CO2 foam is a field-proven technology for gas mobility control.

Pyrolysis of residual tyres: Exergy and kinetics of pyrogas
South African Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2022 Around 1.5 billion tyres are produced each year, with a huge percentage ending up in landfills. Residual rubber tyres have a calorific value of 39–42 MJkg−1, making them an appealing candidate for pyrolysis.

Elevated CO2 does not increase eucalypt forest productivity on a low-phosphorus soil [PDF]
, 2017 Rising atmospheric CO2 stimulates photosynthesis and productivity of forests, offsetting CO2 emissions. Elevated CO2 experiments in temperate planted forests yielded ~23% increases in productivity over the initial years.
