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 […]
