Reducing the level of CO2 in the atmosphere will probably require carbon capture. A surprising substance just might be the ticket.

Climate worries go hand in hand with CO2 emissions concerns. Emissions hit an all-time high last year. The CO2 level in the atmosphere may be higher than it’s been in 3 million years.

Carbon capture will most likely be necessary to reduce the level of CO2 in the atmosphere. To accomplish that we need the technology and materials to do the job. Recently a promising and surprising new candidate has emerged.

“The results are first and foremost important in terms of climate change,” says Professor Liyuan Deng at NTNU’s Department of Chemical Engineering.
