Sea Urchins to the Rescue

Researchers have discovered that sea urchins use nickel particles to remove carbon dioxide from the sea. They quickly and cheaply convert it into calcium carbonate - not only harmless, but useful.

This discovery offers a real opportunity for industries such as power stations and chemical processing plants to capture all their waste CO2 before it ever reaches the atmosphere and store it as a safe, stable and useful product.
