New material provides boost to carbon capture technologies

Oregon State University scientists have filed a patent application for a new carbon-capture material that turns water in factory flue emissions from a problem into an advantage.

New Carbon-Capture Material Turns Moisture from A Problem into An Advantage

Scientists at Oregon State University have developed a material that could help factories capture carbon dioxide from their emissions, even when those gases contain plenty of water. Moisture is a major obstacle for many carbon-capture materials. It can interfere with the places that trap carbon dioxide, reducing their effectiveness. The new material, called BVR-X, responds […]
