Electrically operated carbon-capture technology works at different concentrations, and is significantly more energy-efficient and less expensive than current methods.
Capturing carbon dioxide from smokestacks, and even removing it directly from air, might be the only way to avert the most catastrophic effects of climate change. Engineers at MIT have now created a device to trap carbon dioxide that is much less energy-intensive and costly than today’s technologies.
The device, reported in the journal Energy and Environmental Science, works a lot like a battery. It absorbs carbon dioxide from air passing over its electrodes. It could be made as small and large as needed, making it easy to use at different carbon dioxide emission sources.
And unlike today’s carbon-capture techniques, it works for a wide range of concentrations. So it could be used to scrub carbon dioxide from factory and power plant flue gases or even directly pull it from the atmosphere, where it’s present at much lower levels.
Still, trees are the most efficient CO2 capturing devices. Stop the destruction of the Amazon forest, implement programs to plant trees at a massive scale, do it as if your life depended on it, such as when preparing to stop the enemy at war time, and generally be more conscious about the value of nature to sustain life.
