Carbon Capture From waste to valuable resource: Chemists at the University of Copenhagen have developed a method to convert plastic waste into a climate solution for efficient and sustainable CO2 capture. This is killing two birds with one stone as they address two of the world's biggest challenges: plastic pollution and the climate crisis.

A transparent coating that prevents growth of algae on underwater solar cells has been developed for the U.S. Navy. DTU researchers have developed an important coating for underwater drones and solar cell platforms. The coating will not adorn the drones in different colours, but rather act as a self-polishing coating that keeps algae and other biofouling away from the drones' built-in solar cells when they are on mission below sea level.
