Half-baked but well-meaning. A passing snack.
Summary
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a new carbon capture method using a superbase-alcohol compound that can absorb 156 milligrams of CO2 per gram directly from untreated ambient air. The compound is recyclable and selective, not reacting with nitrogen, oxygen, or other atmospheric gases, showing promising performance compared to current CO2 capture methods.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledThe method developed by Postdoctoral Researcher is based on a compound of superbase and alcohol.
Tests done in professor group show that the compound appears promising: one gram of the compound can absorb 156 milligrams of carbon dioxide directly from untreated ambient air.
However, the compound does not react with nitrogen, oxygen or other atmospheric gases.
Capasity clearly outperforms the CO2 capture methods current.
