Environmental News Network - How to Solve a Bottleneck for CO2 Capture and Conversion

By using a specialized nanofiltration system, researchers have managed to improve the efficiency of capture and electrochemical release of CO2 almost six times. Both processes have so far encountered major obstacles, optimising one to the detriment of the other. The new filtration technology would reduce costs of at least 20%, thus paving the way for more efficient and affordable carbon sequestration systems. Most electrochemical capture systems…
