Researchers Propose New Way for Designing Cheaper, More Efficient Carbon Capture Materials

To make "clean" fossil fuel burning a reality, scientists have to remove carbon dioxide from the exhaust gases that arise from natural gas power plants or coal and stock or reuse it. For this, researchers are analyzing unique scrubbing liquids that bind and discharge the gas, but some of them show great potential to solidify into a cold honey consistency while binding carbon dioxide, making them ineffective and costly.
