West Virginia University researchers have taken the initial steps toward creating technology that can absorb carbon dioxide in the air and use it for environmentally friendly methanol production. The technique that they have begun modeling, which includes extracting air from buildings, can potentially enhance the sustainable supply of methanol, one of

Since the advent of the shale boom, U.S. oil producers have drilled both downward and sideways deep beneath the earth’s surface. But now that the easiest-to-reach crude has been extracted, those companies are testing the limits of their technology even further by boring more than 3 miles horizontally, elevating both
