Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have created what they say is the fastest carbon dioxide catcher ever.
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have created what they say is the fastest carbon dioxide catcher ever, possibly heralding a new era in the fight against carbon emissions linked to climate change.
They said that it was at least as twice as fast as existing systems and that it uses compounds that are reusable, labeling it an"exciting new development for direct air capture." "The field of carbon capture, the removal and subsequent storage or conversion of carbon dioxide, is developing rapidly, but hurdles remain before it can be deployed at scale."
The university said in its statement:"Many DAC systems involve bubbling air through a liquid, with a chemical reaction occurring between the liquid and the carbon dioxide. As the reaction proceeds, more of the reaction product accumulates in the liquid; this makes subsequent reactions slower and slower."
They were able to improve one of these compounds, isophorone diamine and found that it could convert 99 percent of the carbon dioxide in the air into a solid.
