Carbon Capture System Turns CO2 into Electricity and Hydrogen
Scientist at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) and at Georgia Tech have developed and successfully tested a new type of carbon capture system. The system reacts carbon dioxide (CO2) with sodium (Na) to produce electricity, hydrogen fuel, and baking soda. The reaction runs at 50% efficiency and was tested at 1,000 hours without any damage to the electrodes. (Link)
