An alternative CO2 capture process
SCIENTISTS at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), US have developed a simple, alternative process that could be used to remove CO2 from coal-burning power plant emissions. The process requires 24% less energy than industrial benchmark techniques.
