The new tool established by the researchers could revolutionise the way that we capture carbon \u2013 and other heat trapping gases \u2013 from the atmosphere and how we convert them into useful substances such as fuel or building materials.<\/p>\n
Scaling up advanced carbon capture and storage technology like this may prove vital for reducing global warning this century to 1.5 \u00b0C above pre-industrial temperatures, as well as resisting the devastating effects of global climate change<\/a>.<\/p>\n The researchers\u2019 methods and findings have been published in the journal iSCIENCE<\/em>.<\/p>\n The technique works by calculating just how solid the bond is between carbon dioxide and the molecule that it traps. It is possible to apply this electrochemical verdict to any molecule that is chemically disposed to bind with carbon dioxide, enabling scientists to distinguish appropriate molecular contenders with which to capture carbon dioxide from everyday air.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Holy Grail, if you will, is to try to inch toward being able to use binders that can grab carbon dioxide from the air [around us], not just concentrated sources,\u201d explained\u00a0Oana Luca, who is the co-author of the study and an Assistant Professor of chemistry.<\/p>\n \u201cDetermining the strength of binders allows us to figure out whether the binding will be strong or weak and identify candidates for future study for direct carbon capture from dilute sources.\u201d<\/p>\n The aim of carbon capture and storage technology is to eliminate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it securely for centuries, or even millennia.<\/p>\nIdentifying candidates for carbon capture<\/h3>\n
