Addressing the challenge of decarbonizing stubborn industrial emitters, MIT scientists are pioneering carbon capture technologies. Industries like steel, cement, and chemical manufacturing, owing to the inherent use of carbon and fossil fuels in their production processes, are particularly hard to decarbonize. Current experimental technologies capture and convert carbon dioxide in two distinct steps, each demanding significant energy. The aim of the MIT research team is to merge these two steps into a singular, more energy-efficient system. Capturing and converting carbon dioxide from concentrated industrial sources, this integrated system could potentially operate on renewable energy. The study, published in ACS Catalysts, … Continue reading Decarbonizing Industries: MIT’s Breakthrough in Efficient Carbon Capture!
