Chemical engineers at MIT have developed a more energy-efficient method for capturing carbon emissions from industrial plants by incorporating a common chemical compound into capture solutions. By using tris to stabilize the pH of the solution, the system can absorb more CO2 at lower temperatures, potentially allowing the technology to operate on waste heat or sunlight. This innovation has the potential to significantly reduce costs and make carbon capture more efficient and affordable, ultimately aiding in the global effort to combat climate change.
