Researchers find efficient way to capture and recycle CO2 from industrial emissions

Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) is an encouraging strategy for mitigating climate change. This method involves sequestering CO2 before it can enter the atmosphere, but it typically demands significant energy and infrastructure. However, a new study published in ACS Central Science outlines a more efficient system using an electrochemical cell to effectively capture and release CO2.

NYK and MOL to study marine transportation of LCO2
