Innovative process removes carbon from air anywhere
Cincinnati OH (SPX) Jan 14, 2025 Until now, carbon capture has focused largely on removing greenhouse gases at their source, such as the emissions of power plants, refineries, concrete plants and other industries. But University of Cincinnati Professor Joo-Youp Lee said the Golden Fleece of carbon capture is drawing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, which is much, much harder. "The concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are so low," he said. "It would be like trying to remove a handful of red ping-pon ... read more |
