Recent advances in carbon capture

Who needs expensive, unreliable and environmentally dangerous green energy (e.g. solar, wind) when you can recycle atmospheric carbon dioxide! Below are two recent articles describing recent progress in carbon capture technologies.

With human ingenuity it is possible to filter CO2 out of the air and turn it into e.g. fuel or other useful products (recycling of CO2). Don't give in to the Global Warming hoax and Climate Change fanaticism!

"... This answer to trapping carbon dioxide offers other advantages. ‘It works efficiently without a solvent, allowing us to reduce waste and avoid purification ... The formation of the carbamate is also fully reversible, offering an alternative to store carbon dioxide. ..."

"A new system developed by chemical engineers at MIT could provide a way of continuously removing carbon dioxide from a stream of waste gases, or even from the air. The key component is an electrochemically assisted membrane whose permeability to gas can be switched on and off at will, using no moving parts and relatively little energy. ..."

Mechanochemistry shakes up carbon capture with simple way to trap gas | Research | Chemistry World Mechanochemistry has been used to reversibly capture carbon dioxide using lysine, an abundant amino acid.1 The process is simple and quick making it a promising new tool to capture carbon emissions.
