A library for showcasing materials with CO2 capture potential

Dutch designer Teresa van Dongen has launched Aireal, an online library showcasing materials that can capture atmospheric carbon.

The library contains images and descriptions of materials developed by companies and institutes around the world that store carbon in a useful way.

Materials featured include olivine, an abundant mineral present on the earth's upper mantle, and which can absorb its own mass of carbon dioxide during a process known as mineral carbonation. The olivine sand finds uses in foundries around the world.
