Carbon Capture More Efficient and Cheaper with Graphene Filter
February 26, 2021
Chemical engineers at EPFL have developed a graphene filter for Carbon Capture that surpasses the efficiency of commercial capture technologies and can reduce the cost of carbon capture down to $30 per ton of carbon dioxide.
The problem is that capturing carbon from power plants and industrial emissions isn’t very cost-effective. The main reason is that waste carbon dioxide isn’t emitted pure but is mixed with nitrogen and other gases, and extracting it from industrial emissions requires extra energy consumption—meaning a pricier bill.
Scientists have been trying to develop an
