This new carbon material could make carbon capture far more affordable

Stopping carbon dioxide (CO₂) before it enters the atmosphere is a critical way to cut greenhouse gas emissions. While carbon capture has been around for many years, it has not been widely adopted because most systems are costly and inefficient. A common industrial approach, aqueous amine scrubbing, requires heating large amounts of liquid to temperatures above 100 °C to release the captured CO₂ and reuse the solution. This high energy demand drives up operati...
