Capturing Carbon Dioxide With Much Less Energy
September 5, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Currently when CO2 is trapped before it escapes into the atmosphere, the process requires a large amount of energy and equipment. Now MIT researchers have designed a capture system using an electrochemical cell that can easily grab and release CO2. The device operates at room temperature and requires less energy than conventional, amine-based carbon-capture […]

Baking Soda Chemistry Might Be A Hydrogen Storage Solution
August 10, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists are investigating the promising hydrogen storage possibilities of the common Earth-abundant salt chemistry known as baking soda. One of the most promising renewable energy carriers is clean hydrogen, when it is produced without fossil fuels. It’s a promising idea because the most abundant element in the universe is hydrogen, found […]
