The method is expected to not only produce renewable electricity far more efficiently than conventional geothermal systems, but also help reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) — dealing a one-two punch against climate change. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/110606092746.htm

The race to capture these emissions is heating up, along with the atmosphere. One technology doesn’t sound very sexy – “Artificial Photosynthetic Foam” – but it sounds very promising.
