Battery-based device captures CO2 using less energy
Original: A new device captures CO2 by pumping it across a battery, requiring less energy than current carbon capture systems http
Researchers have developed a new device that captures carbon dioxide by pumping it across a battery, cutting the energy required compared with existing carbon capture systems. The approach could make direct air capture and emissions filtering cheaper, a long-standing obstacle to scaling the technology. It is being shared in science and climate circles as a potentially significant step for carbon removal.
Why now: Lower-energy carbon capture would address the biggest cost barrier to scaling carbon removal technology.
